There's no point worrying about what aliens will be like, because we can't really imagine it.
All the fears and hopes people have about aliens are really just reflections of their opinions of human beings. When someone says "Aliens would conquer and enslave us", what they're really saying is that that's what they think humans would do in that position.
Aliens are the 'Other' onto which we project our worst fears about ourselves.
When someone says they're scared of aliens, they're actually just scared of human beings.
