Alright, these pages of the sketchbook are harder to explain, but basically I had to make a bunch of alien species for a book I’ll be writing in the future, so uh… here they are! Also we got an extra page at the end where I was brainstorming concepts for the aliens!
Explaining EVERYTHING about each species will take too long, and you’ll probably just be bored silly, so I won’t bother you with that.
Ghost Hermits are basically like hermit crabs, they all have anxiety and hide in their suits of armor when threatened. Without their shells, they are just little worms with permanent ‘shocked’ faces.
Whistling Worms live on a gas planet and are made of organic material light enough to ‘swim’ through most forms of air. They communicate by blowing air through the multiple holes in their body, which makes a flute-like whistling noise. They’re kind of cold and unfeeling, antisocial.
Flesh Prisms live on a planet that’s basically covered in a giant several-miles-tall bush, and they spend their time swinging in groups from branch to branch eating the fruit the plant provides them, kind of like a family of monkeys. They’re very friendly and caring, lacking eyes but seeing through echolocation produced by rubbing their long quills together.
Wood Walkers are essentially plants that get enough energy from their Red Giant sun that they walk around like animals can. The ‘predators’ on their planet are herbivores that eat the walking plants. They have a strict moral code that justifies crimes if it is in favor of ‘keeping the balance of nature’, they religiously follow ‘nature’s plan’ even if it means letting weaker members die.
Glass Crawlers used to live on a planet that was free-floating through space, making it too cold to live near the surface due to their lack of a sun. They lived in tunnels underground and evolved to be blind and transparent, kind of like those fish in deep caves. (Note: because they are blind, they were not aware that they were transparent until they met other sentient species) They live in complicated tight-knit communities, and very kind and caring to every living creature, even those that aren’t like themselves. Unfortunately, the glass crawlers had to evacuate their planet, because it intercepted another uninhabited planet and was blasted to pieces.
Screaming Devils lived on a planet full of cliffs and spires of rock. They were Apex predators that hunted by releasing a scream at such a high volume their prey goes into shock, allowing them to swoop down and scoop their paralyzed bodies up with their flexible, boneless jaws. Their planet went through a world war where the bad guys won, and those bad guys believed that the best way to survive the pollution that ravaged their planet is to take over the other alien species’s home planets and drain them of their resources. Despite this, not all Devils are inherently evil - they just have an evil leader.
