Description Instructions:

Roll real or virtual dice in this order. (D6, for instance, means a 6-sided die.) Your roll determines a characteristic of your creature. Don’t be afraid to combine or interpret rolls originally.

1: Roll a D8 for Body.
2: Roll a D4 for Neck.
3: Roll a D6 for Tail.
4: Roll a D6 for Skull.
5: Roll a D4 to determine how many Skull Features.
6: Roll a D6 for Skull Features as many times as the roll in step 5.
7: Roll a D4 for Forelimbs.
8: Roll a D6 for Hands.
9: Roll a D4 for Legs.
10: Roll a D4 for feet.

The skeleton of your creature is now complete. Draw it if you like, or use it to sketch a framework for your creature’s flesh. Don’t be afraid to modify the skeleton to accommodate the flesh features.

11: Roll a D6 to determine how many Head Features.
12: Roll a D8 for Head Features as many times as the roll in step 11.
13: Roll a D4 to determine how many Body Features.

That abomination should not exist. XD
My Alien Generator usually turns out more plausible-looking creatures if you want to try it.

All you need to do is forget everything you ever learned about anatomy to make truly alien creatures.

I've been trying to create a new superclass of alien tetrapods,but I can never get any good ideas. Maybe this can help me.

Orionide5 In reply to MaxterandKiwiKing [2013-03-29 17:21:06 +0000 UTC]

In any case, stuff I made with this just looked like Earth tetrapods... then again, I never tried to make them look alien.

Orionide5 In reply to MaxterandKiwiKing [2013-03-29 17:16:53 +0000 UTC]

Worth a try! But... how are they tetrapods if they're aliens? Do you mean they just have 4 legs?

MaxterandKiwiKing In reply to Orionide5 [2013-03-29 17:44:25 +0000 UTC]

I made one kind that is hexapedal,one that is quadrupedal,and I'm trying to make yet another quadrupedal one. I think I've got some ideas now,though.
