This beauty is NOT alien to our planet - it is an example of a not-widely known Terran life form. From Wikipedia:

Maturing to a length between 19 and 37 centimetres (7.5 and 15 in)[1], and maximally reaching a weight of approximately 1.7 kilograms (3.7 lb) in B. giganteus, giant isopods are a good example of deep-sea gigantism (cf. giant squid); most other isopods range in size from 1 to 5 centimetres (0.39 to 2.0 in). Their morphology is nonetheless familiar to most people as giant isopods closely resemble their terrestrial cousin, the woodlouse.
