How I Imagine Aliens

I imagine aliens as dangerous creatures. They have acid on their rough flesh that can burn you severely. In the early stages of aliens they always seemed to trip over their 6 legs, causing the newer versions large left eye to appear red, not black like the other 6. It's bright skin signals that it is poisonous and you should not consume it.


Like most animals, the alien has a predator, the Fegnusrom. The Fegnusrom is a menacing creature with yellowed teeth and a signature scar across it's rump. It is a whopping 30 feet tall and 25 feet wide. It's 12 sharp claws are used to rip apart aliens. You may be asking, Well, if the skin of an alien is toxic, how can the Fegnusrom rip it apart? Well, it is immune to the acid, which is why it is the only predator.

  1. Hi Ailie!

    Wow, what a brilliant post! You’ve done an incredible job both drawing your alien and its predators and describing them! In particular, I like how you included a bit of background on the alien’s evolutionary process. I like how you described all aspects of it, even those that couldn’t be seen in the picture such as their acidic flesh.

    I’m also blown away by the details you included in describing the Fegnusrom. I like how you anticipated the question about these predators eating the aliens given their toxicity and explained why this wasn’t a problem. I also like how you’ve taken things on Earth and adapted them into alien forms. You’re very creative!

    What would you call the planet they originate from? How would you describe it?

    Do the aliens need a toxic layer of skin to protect from the atmosphere? Or is it solely for protection from predators? Are their extra legs to help navigate the terrain?

    Happy blogging,
    Shannon

      I like to draw, but colouring is not my specialty. But I thought if the Fegnusrom wasn't coloured like the alien, it would be a bit strange.

      I thought it would be a bit weird if I didn't say why it didn't get hurt when it eats aliens, so I explained it. I find it quite funny how they tripped over all those legs.

      Their planet is the moon. It isn't actually a planet obviously. Their protective skin is to protect it for other creatures. But my aliens breathe through their skin, so it also catches strange particles that are only in space to make a not-yet discovered element called Ayuin.

      Good bye!

  2. And I forgot to mention, the moons ground is very rocky, so the aliens need multiple legs to keep them stable.

    1. Kia Ora Ailie,

      I wouldn’t have guessed you weren’t a fan of colouring, you’ve done a tremendous job in your illustrations. I really do appreciate the consistency of colours, it’s well thought out!

      It is pretty funny how the aliens trip over their extra legs. I imagine when they run they look a little bit like a spinning wheel with feet sticking out. Do they leave a toxic residue when they walk or is the acidic flesh not on the bottom of their feet? Perhaps it is and this is why there are craters on the moon! Their skin burnt holes in the ground.

      Oooohhh, Ayuin sounds cool. Does it have any incredible properties like being lighter than air, or magnetic? Can the aliens use this particle to eat or does it help a specific crop grow that these aliens need to feed themselves?

      That’s so cool that they breathe through their skin. Some frogs do that too and it’s marvellous!

      What other species live on the moon?

      Hei konā mai,
