prompt:
This alien has stumped researchers back on Earth for quite a while. Given the nickname "Chickenish" after some reports were leaked to the public, the name stuck and stayed with the species.

Members of the chickenish species are what they sound like, chicken-like in nature. Though, they would moreso resemble a dinosaur or something of that sort. They naturally come in varying colors of green; the green in their skin acts as a form of chlorophyll, meaning these creatures are photovores.

Regardless of being photovores, Chickenish bare teeth that resemble Earth's herbivores, in a long snout that resembles an aardvark. It's theorized that these snouts are used for searching for hydration in hard-to-reach places; it's not helpful that the planet that this species lives on is dry and dusty.

The toe-like structures on the end of the Chickenish's legs resemble a sort of claw, this species can be seen using these claws for better traction when running, or in other cases self defense.

The species holds two vestigial features;
- The wings that Chickenishes have aren't useful for flight. Instead, they are used for intimidating predators. They do a silly dance with these wings to scare off other aliens on their planet, which resembles the dance of a bird of paradise.
- There are two stumps on the Chickenish's tail that seem to be what used to be legs on this creature's ancestors. Some offspring seem to lack the feature as scientists study more and more on the reproduction of this species.

It's theorized that these creatures somehow evolved from an Earth species due to how much it would resemble a prehistoric raptor, but there's no evidence pointing to this being true.

prompt: "If you want a story, I can surely give one!"

He said before slamming a crinkled coffee-stained piece of paper with a drawing on it on to the counter Infront of Francis. "Oops."

he said chuckling nervously as he tried to flatten it back, and surprisingly he managed to do it, maybe not to its original state but close enough.



"Have you ever heard the tale of the Kriexs?"

before Francis could open his mouth to say anything they kept talking.

"Il take that as a no!"

"Kriexs are highly skilled in combat and tech! They have three legs and 6 eyes!"

6 eyes? but there are only four eyes on the picture or... was there.

Francis looked at Kai "6 eyes?? There is only 4 in the picture..."

Kai didn't respond he just pointed at the tail and blue mush floating above it as he whispered "Six eyessss" With a massive grin as Francis squinted, he saw what Kai was talking about....

"Anyways! Where was I??? Oh yeah! They have 6 eyes, and they have yellow goop and yellow rectangles on their neck that glow! They also have blue spikes on their back, but I forgot to draw them." Kai looked at the paper and pointed at the spots where the spikes were supposed to be. Francis had to us his power of ImAgInAtIoN to see the spikes.



Francis blinked at Kai while he kept blabbing on the creature that came into his mind looked oddly terrifying... How could such a thing possibly ever exist?!?!?

"...They are also tall! they are double the size of a chicoon! They also have there one system of power! There are 2 Krexi's that are in charge, One takes care of health and the people, the other takes care of the city and makes sure nobody destroys it and takes care of the army! they also sometimes invade other planets in large ships and they mark the places where they will land in the future! I might have a picture somewhere, hold on..." He looked for the paper while talking "They also have pity on people who are treated like outcast for what they are believe, in fact the people who believe in aliens or other worldly creatures are treated well because they are like predicting the future y'know!"

Kai kept trying to find the paper.

"Awh man, i cant find it.. oh well il just draw it in the sand hold on." He ran off to grab something to use other than his paw, he came back with a large stick and started to make the alien pattern.

"There!!" he said with a now a pair of messy paws



The alien landing pad thing looked more like a needle that was shoved in a Styrofoam ball. Francis but the longer Francis looked at it the more things he saw. it looked like an eye of a creature of some sort.



Francis looked up at Kai, "You said they had 6 eyes right..?" to which kai responded with a nod that made his ears flop back and forth.

Maybe this was the eye of the Kriex blue blob or was he over thinking this silly drawing?

"Can you tell me more about the blue goop orb thing on the tail?" Francis said as he pointed at it on the paper.

"Of course! The blue orb this is called a Melai, They come in different shapes and colors! They are kind of like our tail flames, When a Kriex is born he/she/they gets a blended version of both of their parents Melais, for example yellow and blue Melais make a Green Melai! Melais are very important to Kriex snice it helps them spot things from behind them!" Kai smiled happily; He could answer all these questions all day long.

"Random question, do they have different beliefs like humans?" Francis asked tilting his head a bit.

"Sorta! They all believe in a goddess named Relaies. She is portrayed as the eye of the Melais snice they are like a gift from her!

"That pretty cool i guess." Said Francis imagining a massive colony of three legged aliens walking around vibing and laughing like how other chicoons were during the carnaval. "Man, how do you have so many interesting storys in a blink of an eye" He asked to Zai as he fiddled a bit with the plush's paws.

"Unsure really!" Zai wagged his tail a bit keen to a dog. " He smiled happily "Just you wait when I talk about there actions!"

"Alright then hit me with it." Francis looked up at Zai who tilted his head in response.

"How am I supposed to hit you with words?"

"Not literally!"

"OHH!!! There blobs pupil expands when they get excited like a cat! They have even more information about them but im tired and il tell you the rest later!" Zai tried to grab the plush from the counter but Francis held it just out of reach from him.

"Not untill you tell me the rest."

"Uhmm. HEY WHATS THAT BEHIND YOU?" Zai shouted, Francis turned his head away for a split second but that was the time Zai needed to jump up and grab the plush and run off.

"Come on.." Francis shrugged it off it was getting late after all. He decided to walk home, and after a while he finally made it.

"It's been a bit of a long day I guess." he slid into his better before falling asleep.

He started dreaming that he was in a massive forest, Francis wandered a bit in the forest before spotting a strange glowing goop. Walking closer to it he decided to touch it to examine it closer he looked behind him there was something written in morse code on the ground. ".-- . / .- .-. . / -.-. --- -- . .. -. --." he could hear footsteps all around him when all of sudden a large BA-

He woke up in cold sweat before sighing gladly "it's j[url][/url]ust some silly nightmare I'm fine."

Extra facts!

Krexi's when they're born, they are very fluffy and completely blind relying on small whiskers to feel their surroundings around them, aswell as a paler coloration than an adult!

Thanks for reading all of this!



Huh? What's this?

prompt:

What are Luars?

- Luars are a species of bipedal bird-like alien, except they possess no ability to fly. But they can run, their small size makes them zip by in a blur!
- Males and females of the species are slightly different. Females are often more leader-like than the males and will lead groups of up to five or ten other Luars. These units are made up of related and non-related Luars as they are very friendly towards their own kind even if they do not live together!
- A group of Luars is known as a Shining.
- Female Luars are most recognizable by their larger size and five bumped back frill, male Luars are smaller in size and only have two bumps along their back frills. But both are darker tones of black and gray, these colors help them blend into their dark surroundings!
- Since they live in dark caves, Luars have developed a biologic reflector system to be able to see in the dark, this is also known as the tapetum lucidum!

What do Luars eat?

- Meat is the main course of a Luar's diet, but when meat is in short supply they are able to sustain themselves off of insects and other small creatures. Luars would be considered a carnivore, but in some situations an insectivore!
- Family units of Luars will hunt in packs, using their colorful, glowing frills and lures to coax prey to come close to them. As they are not the largest of creatures, having more than one to help take down prey is good for their survival. A lone Luar can survive off a little bit of hunting, but will likely resort to eating insects until it creates it's own family or joins one.

Where do Luars live?

- Luars prefer to live in dark caverns, they will rarely venture out of their caverns and can live in total darkness for many years. A Luar outside of it's cave will not survive as their eyes cannot adapt to the sudden brightness of the world around them. Luars found outside are often snatched up by larger aliens that also eat meat.
- It is still unknown where exactly Luars live, as these sightings of them were from a small planet in a galaxy not too far from our own. The planet being dubbed as "L-014", is a rocky planet with various underground systems making it the ideal habitat for these aliens! They thrive, alongside a variety of other unknown aliens, on this little floating rock in space.

How do Luars communicate?

- Luars communicate to each other in a variety of ways! Many groups have certain lure light flickering patterns, these light-based communications are often used to establish territory or determine if another Luar is a friend or foe. They will also communicate using clicks and chirps which echo off the caves they live in. When another Luar needs to find another or their group, they can make a quick chirp and get an answer fast! Their calls are often described to sound similar to that of bats or kiwi birds!

Camerots
KAM-UH-ROTS

Camerots are a small dragonic-like creature found on the planet V03N. They grow no bigger than your average Earth house cat and are often sold as shoulder pets.

Their horns are made out of a crystal due to their diet consisting of precious stones and gems. The higher quality the stones they consume as a hatchling; the more elaborate their horns become.

Camerot's natural habitats are cave systems that contain the stones they eat. The body type of a Camerot depends on the location of said cave system. Bluffs tend to result in more avian-like traits, plains more mammalian-like, lakes and rivers more aquatic-like, deserts more reptilian-like and forests result in more insect-like traits.

prompt:

The Yahnoll (Yuh-null) are an intelligent alien race that calls the planet Tharris their home.

Anatomy:
Yahnoll are a bipedal species with large digitigrade legs that pack quite a kick. They have large, very strong prehensile tails that can even support their body weight and serve as an extra limb. They have three fingers per hand and three toes per foot, with small, thick but blunt claws on each digit. They have a single pad on their palms and soles that helps regulate body temperature, while the rest is covered in a short fur, aside from their upper back/neck and chest. Their arms are smaller and not nearly as bulky as their legs, but they do have four arms. Overall, they have a rather pear-shaped body. Their heads are similar in structure to a caiman in some ways. They have four ears, two on each side, which can move independently of each other. They’re able to hear things from multiple directions and easily discern them this way. This species is omnivorous, with a blend of sharper teeth in the front for biting and tearing, and more dull/wide ones in the back for mastication. They also have four nostrils, and two eyes. Their fur colors tend to be less saturated, with brightly colored tongues to make them appear poisonous while remaining camouflaged in their environment. Their planet is rather earthy in color, located in a binary star system. Temperature-wise, they live in a hotter, more arid environment and breathe carbon dioxide. The pads on their feet hardly touch the ground, as it's typically quite hot. They are quite tall, averaging at around 7 feet in height. If it's a physical fight, you don't want to mess with a Yahnoll.

Society:
Yahnoll are barterers by nature, which has served them well when trading with other species. They specialize in pottery and the manufacture of earth-based construction materials, such as brick and concrete. In the past, they were a more aggressive race, warring to the point of near extinction before turning things around. This period of peace has allowed them to develop space-faring technology and the ability to communicate with other planets. As a whole Yahnoll are characterized as being rather blunt and crass, but reliable. Their artisans and builders cannot be rivaled, with Yahnoll goods being known for their quality. Yahnoll tend to build houses out of earth and brick despite manufacturing glass and metal. Popular imported goods include water, fruits, fabric, and ice. The first extraterrestrial species the Yahnoll made contact with had actually reached out to them first. This species helped them advance their technology so that they could become a space-faring civilization as well. They quickly adapted and became quite the formidable nation. Since their planet is not very hospitable to others that aren't adapted to it, they're hardly at risk of other species trying to subjugate them. That being said, they have plenty of giant turrets hidden in the sands all over their planet, just in case. When it comes to how they treat death, bodies are often preserved quite well due to the arid environment, so they are embalmed using clay amongst other things and are typically buried in tombs. They believe nature is a power beyond understanding, and that when one dies, their life energy is returned to the earth from which it originated and is recycled.

Other:
When it comes to clothing, they don’t typically wear any aside from jewelry and other cosmetic items, as their bodies are well adapted to the environment they live in. They have an extra clear eyelid to keep sand and dirt out of their eyes, and their fur’s oils contain a natural UV blocking chemical. Their planet is located within a binary star system, so they have two suns. As such, they don’t have very long nights, but when they do, it becomes cold out. As they are not well adapted for the cold or the dark, nighttime is a big deal to them and you will find hardly any Yahnoll outside of their homes during these periods. They also do not have a moon. For special occasions, Yahnoll will paint themselves with pigmented dirt. They have holidays to celebrate the harvest season, as well as a holiday celebrating the unified peace of their species. There’s not much water on their planet, so they usually take dust baths to stay clean. Farming is also an important role in their society, with cactus-like plants and large livestock that are similar to a cross between a camel and a cow being quite popular. Their lifespan is around 150 years. You can tell the age of a Yahnoll typically by the fact that as they grow old, their fur will begin to grey/whiten like dogs do on Earth. They do have their own language, and typically inscribe things on clay tablets, though due to the fact that these tablets can shatter, they have begun transitioning to paper and digital means, but clay writing is still used in traditional matters. Thankfully, there is a universal translator amongst all of the species in their allied sector, so communication with others is not difficult. (Though, getting their language added to it was initially quite the process, as it can be difficult to discern between the vocals in their words.)
For fun, popular sports include tail-wrestling, dune-racing, and craftmanship contests. Less athletic hobbies include sculpture, body painting, reading, and traditional games that would be similar to chess and mancala.
