Foam-Latex Alien Mask¶
The Foam-Latex Alien Mask is the grey-alien prosthetic head, with huge black eyes and an oversized skull, worn by the Brooks pharmacy gunman, whose unmasking shows the "alien" to be a human in costume.

Description¶
The mask is a foam-latex head with huge oval black eyes and an oversized cranium, worn over the head and ending in a seam at the neck. Together with the gunman's spindly build and long fingers it makes him pass for a classic grey (Roulet Estate 03).
History¶
During the Brooks pharmacy siege, the Biz sees the gunman from the drop ceiling with large oval black eyes, an unnaturally large head and a naked, tattooed body. After Huell tackles him, Kurt ties his hands with his own underwear and sees a seam around his neck where the mask ends (Roulet Estate 03).
Police tear the mask off rather than removing it carefully. Underneath is a skinny man with herpes blisters around his mouth and meth-head hair. Andrew, an avowed believer in Greys, kicks over a card display stand in anger. Dante (as Kurt) says, "Fuck! I fucking knew a Grey wouldn't be circumcised." The Biz had already noticed from the ceiling that the gunman was circumcised and tattooed (Roulet Estate 03).
The earlier "alien" at the Roulet House was seen only briefly, and the episodes never say outright that it wore this mask. The players treat the pharmacy gunman as the same person, on the strength of the shared beta blockers.
