>inb4 people suggest already-existing things

How about these for inspiration:
-A creature that's a mass of tentacles given sentience
-A serpentine creature with muscular arms and legs (TROGDOR THE BURNINATOR)
-A kind of decadent space nobility that's not fat
-Half-rock, half-fungi creature that could be Blorg's distant cousin twice removed
-A creature that lives in a porous rock shell
-A creature that looks like a deep-sea fish (>inb4 blobfish race)
-More piscine creatures in general

Thanks for reading, at least!

A creepy snowman analogue would be interesting

Try to make Real life alien species, like the The Tall Whites and Tall Greys, Draconians, The Nords, Martians, the Midwayers, there is alot more but thats all i can remember for now. Love the mod by the way, Thanks for reading :D

hey Underfire131 - Glad you love the mod! Thanks! :)

Not sure I understand what you mean by "real life" aliens. All of those that mention are humanoid based, and therefore unrealistic for the purposes Alien Suns, unless I'm misunderstanding you.

In an alien environment, some place not "here," evolution is going to go in some wild directions, and that's what I'm attempting to reflect.

As for the "Tall Greys," you should select the Nloam as a race one of these times ;)

Ok if you're going for species that are not humanoid then yea the ones i mentioned wouldnt work for this mod. But The Midwayers, they are said to be only spiritual beings and not present in a physical sense.

They are are all real life aliens though nonetheless.

Yes the my next race im going to play is going to be the Nloam / The Greys :)

... I'm still confused by what you mean when you say "real life?"

What I meant by that was they are real beings / not fake. :)

See, that's the part that's confusing me, because there are no real aliens. It's all just science fiction and make believe, and that's what I'm doing here, so - glad you enjoy the mod! :)

Take inspirationn from somthing like the rake?

The idea of species that are more terrifying by nature (think some deep sea fish) is something that I've been playing around with for a while. So, it may not be right away, but chances are that you'll see something along those lines at some point :)

you should do an otter race -w-

Hi Watson, I really enjoy your mod so far and the portraits are great.

The Pree might be my favourite since they fit in very well with my idea of a egyptian-like spiritualist faction with giant monolith/pyramid resembling buildings on their home planet, loads of temples and sands as far as one can see. (sorry if I dragged them through the dirt too much with that :D)

ANYWAYS... Have you considered some sort of arachnid type yet? Especially with a hivemind in thought? I know your intentions are going more towards unknown life forms and Paradox brought out their spiderlings if you buy the Nova or Galactic edition but I would like to see how such a species would look like from your perspective.

Hey Magicul - I do have a couple of exoskeletal species planned. The biggest challenge (for me) with them is that drawing that damn exoskeleton and getting it to look "right" is a pain ;)

That said, though, the Ithaqgha, Nyarlakhee, and KuyRhu all would fall into that category.

How about a bio-mechanical species?

The Outer Rim expansion will have at least one cybernetic species :)
