Like you wanted to defend yourself, you studied self defence then you trained, and after training, you instinctively defend yourself when someone sneaks up on you.

That's instinct. After learning and experiencing, you develop a behaviour based on those and that's what instinct really is. That behaviour that's usually developed for fighting and survival.

I wasn't offended, don't worry about that. I was referring to how Zed and the Nemetrix aliens are fiction and we can't be exactly sure what is their natural instincts.

I'm not sure if this is true, but I think many common birds actually need to learn to fly by watching their parents fly, then it becomes an instinct for them to fly if their in the air. It could be the exact same in the Nemetrix aliens' cases.
