Nature it is theorized will develop in a similar way given the same conditions, so on an Earth like planet you would expect to find life forms similar to those on earth, although not exactly the same.
Take a look at the Titan photos, they could be easily mistaken for parts of earth even though the elements that made the landscape are completely different to those that we see on the Earth. An example of nature sticking to what it knows.

All creatures live and conform to their evolutionary necessity. Life in all forms must be evolving, adapting and able to meet all the the criteria for life. That does not by any means say that it must conform to our human norm, nor must it be intelligent the same way we are. It must however be understood, that life whatever form it takes is out there, and just because we cannot see it, touch it, or understand it's existence. It is there.

assuming there is an "earth-like" planet in this wide universe, i can say that there are humans and other living organisms here on earth. the earth is so diverse and you can see living things, even bacteria on the hottest places on earth (volcano mouths) or coldest (underneath ice sheets). the characteristic of an extraterrestrial will depend on what it needs to live its life.
just mix and match what we have here and you'll see....

It would depend on the environment in which life developed. Two of my favorite "hard" sci-fi series by Robert Forward attempt to illustrate this through non-Carbon based highly intelligent, but technologically deficient creatures living in a methane ocean on a planet orbiting Bernard's star (the Rocheworld series) and very short nuclear based life on a neutron star where time is accelerated (Dragon's egg and Starquake).
I recall reading one of Katrina Voss's (of accuweather) blogs, where she says in looking for earth-like planets that may have life on them, we fail to realize that earth is perfect for life as we know it because life as we know it developed here. If this is true, we might have to rethink our definition of life in order to recognize it when we find it.

Think of the weird life forms we have on this planet. Our weirdest would look homey compared to any out there.

They would indeed seem quite strange to everyday people because well, we've never seen them before. However, how they really look like, we don't know yet, and we won't know until we see them first-hand.
