Formie

Formies are an interplanetary alien race that migrated from their homeworld after a crisis 300 years ago. One portion of the population settled in the solar system of the now-abandoned Earth and settled on Earth's moon, which appeared to be the only completed uninhabited celestial body in the system.

The Formie race is highly technologically advanced, having developed highly advanced artificial intelligence, space travel, as well as climate control and terraforming technology.

Trivia

 * Formies are supposedly based on ants. This is supported by the Portuguese word for ant, that being "Formiga", sounding similar to their title. This is also supported by their feature of antennas, and early concept art showcasing them with mandibles on their upper lips, with the exception of Spark himself.
