No, in the original story (Dusk and Dawn) it's not an alien, just beings that has evolved (and mutated) enough to end civilizations. It has reached the end of its evolution, making it 'perfect' for killing anything that stand on its path. The bizzare anatomy is caused by optimization of each organ's function, and because it was sealed inside deep hollow inside earth for how many eons heaven knows between each and every civilization ultimately it deems the need of eye is unimportant...and proceeds to evolve its sense using electrical signals to detect it's prey (AND FYI, the 'Dragon' element in reality is MAGNETIC FORCE. Ruca has demonstrated it clearly.) The virus itself is a kind of nanomachines (yes, you read that right) made of special kind of ironsand that could link a victim's nerve system (our body ALL work with electrical signals) to Goa's and enable it to manipulate them.
