If I'm not mistaken, necropsy and autopsy are synonyms, and neither are unique to the species, etc. So, an autopsy or necropsy applies to aliens as well.

Necropsy tends to be used when referring to animals, when I've read something regarding an autopsy on an animal, it's always corrected to necropsy. Maybe it's a pedantic thing by the authors.

UAPs display capabilities that we can't even begin to understand how they're possible, so I think I'd call mutilation of an alien corpse "suicidal."

Alien autopsy is already a well established term. And it’s hosted by Jonathan Frakes!

You ain't wrong. I'm running a sci-fi game for some friends and they will be finding alien bodies soon, if they follow the plot hook. I was just wondering if there was an "official" term for this imaginary procedure.
