My first thought were these crazy buggers but I would assume they're firmly with Fox. Any other ideas?

The one alien species I do believe Fox owns the rights to are the Shi'ar, mainly because they are going to be in X-Men: Dark Phoenix. Another one they co-own with Marvel are the skrulls, who Fox probably won't use, but will be used by Marvel Studios in 'Captain Marvel', though Fox are the only ones who can use Super-Skrull.

So who knows. The Brood originally appeared in the X-Men comic, like the Shi'ar, they might be owned just by Fox; or there is a special case where species' are co-owned, but individual characters are exclusively owned. Well, mutants are a species, and characters who were mutants when the contracts were made/when they debuted post-contracts are with Marvel (Squirrel Girl, Cloak, Dagger, Quake, Molly Hayes, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, etc.)

I mainly meant alien species. Mutants are a species, but one directly tied to the X-Men franchise. The Brood and Shi'ar has mostly appeared in the X-Men comics, so I guess that would warrant Fox owning them, while the Skrulls has made appearances in a diversity of books that aren't just Fantastic Four-related for them to just co-own them. On the top-of-my-head, I can't really think of other species/races who appear more or an equal amount between the two in terms of owning the rights to them.
