Description

    A bunch of ideas i had for spectember and general spec evo related ideas that never came to be, but were redrawn as a second chance. All but two ideas were made during and for spectember of 2021. The top are meant to be alien life while the bottom are meat to be earth life.


    In order by their number


    1. An alien sophont originally conceived around 6th grade and were planned to be brought back for spectember 2021. These nomadic carnivores live in the twilight zone of a tidally locked planet. Their hind limbs were once meant to act as pseudo-tails because their ancestors never had one but now act as arms. Creating this reverse body plan compared to humans and their limbs. They also have a hag worm-like mouth that can eject like a sturgeon


    2. 2 blind, lithovorous aliens that evolved from cave dwelling ancestors. Their sulfur rich homeplanet experienced a mass extinction so devastating it made the Permian great dying look modest in comparison.


    3. A hydraulic limbed alien from a blistering hot super-earth covered in storms. They shoot their copper drill-tipped proboscis into the air and keep it suspended with air sacs to feed off of electricity produced by lightning.


    4. A secondarily bilateral sophont from a tropical planet with a climate that's frighteningly similar to South America. They would visit earth some 100,000 years ago for reasons discussed later.


    5. A transcendent alien who's original organic forms are lost to time. Their modern bodies are made up of several metallic pieces capable of floating midair and defy all laws of physics. They are capable of creating new universes and seeding it with life. By all definitions they are no different from gods.


    Onto the ideas that actually had something to do with earth


    6. A massive filter feeding descendant of modern lantern fish. They can control their bio luminescence as a way to communicate with their relatives or mates


    7. A sophont arboreal descendant of Dromaeosaurs in an alternate earth where the KPG mass extinction never happened. They were originally drawn back in april of 2021.


    8. A distant terrestrial descendant of mudskippers. Not much can be said sadly


    9. A sophont capybara uplifted to become apprentices of the aliens in #4. Their similar climate preference meant that the capybaras could live on their planet albeit with a few modifications. Their braincase is larger, Their pinky fingers were modified to become opposable. And their respiratory system was modified to breathe in their new alien atmosphere.


    10. A far future descendant of komodo dragons on a seed world made just for them that now became true dragons. Their planet isn't in this universe but instead a pocket dimension created by the alien gods in #5
