I agree that LEO was probably a strong influence, just like Moebius and Alien. I also think they really found their own style with the ecosystem they created, by how they mixed different influences and then added their own twist.
This series started as an [adultswim] short called Scavengers. "Reign" was added afterward to make it distinct from what was effectively the pilot, which had a more minimalist approach but featured the same themes that were featured throughout the series.
Loved both. Definitely recommend the Scavengers pilot AFTER the main series Scavengers Reign though.
Oh, interesting. From the previews, I'd thought that the show's fauna consisted solely of LEO-like creatures.

Also liked both but liked the series better, which is not surprising as it was a much bigger project, so they could polish it much more.
