Blender, which was in origin a UNIX program so it works very well on the Mac, is a free 3D animation program which was used recently in an “Open Source” movie called Project London:

What you would do is to create and animate the three-dee alien in blender, but for the skin use a paint program such as photoshop or gimp to create a realistic texture which blender will allow you to map it on.
The non-free programs I know about which a regular person can use are by Autodesk, and while I have a few issues with Adobe I will not recommend Autodesk programs at all, ever period.
