More Plausible Aliens

[Stegotyranno420]

Apparently i made some sketches of some aliens for a project and i wanted to see who could come up with the best names.



(I m looking for common names we use to address animals or scientific names.

[Loon]

Jessica, Arnold, Phillip, Susanna,  and Carol.

[Libraraptor]

You ask for common names, not Latin/Greek ones, right?

How about Ostrick (sic!) for the one on the very left?
The biggest one could be a Trunklide.
The one ion the middle looks like a Leright.
On the very right I see a a Tangleg.
And on the upper right side, how about Closheeld?

I like those. but greek Latin names are allowed

[Libraraptor]

Trunklide - Manuslidens volans ("Flying and gliding with a trunk")

Ostrick - Currens bipedis ("Running on two legs")

Tangleg - Linguacrus velox ("Fast Tongue - Leg")

Closhield - Gigantopsittacus ungularis ("Giant Parrot with a claw")

Leright - Sinistradextra veluca ("Left - right with a sail")


Call me Dougal

I like those names(the trunkglider does not have a trunk, that's a beak-like structure used to stab prey and carry it in the air and suck its fluids)
How did i do on the drawings. Tell me how i can improve

[Libraraptor]

Sorry,  I can not help you in terms of drawing since I am very bad at it. 
You can call the Trunklide Beaklide.  Beak is libellum in Latin.  How about Libellum slidens or volans (gliding or flying beak) then?

How sorry to disappoint but I came of with a name that i like. Airknife/ Aeromacharius(Air knife in Greek).
Anyhow, i like the other names. Thanks very much on the names. How are these names derived?

[Avian]

I may be slightly off topic but is anyone else getting a sort of dicynodont/ basal ceratopsian vibe from the head of the flying one on the very right? Despite that fact I suggest Aeropelta, has the head resembles a shield (pelta) and aero is a greek prefix for relating to air.

I mean the one you are talking about has a parrot beak(like psittacosaurus). Its semi-sapient. Although their intelligence ranges from German Shepard to ancient Egpytian, it can make spears, due to its "hands'(derived from feet) being free. It flys using its air-sacs(an organ extension also found on the bigger flying creature). Every 2 hours, it must recharge its lung-like organs by taking large breaths and walking on its "hands". There are 3 breeds/races The largest are the turquoise ones who have heavy, bulky limbs. They have the longest tongues(which are spiked unlike the other breeds) and are the oldest of the breeds. Then there is the Purple type(the one portrayed). More gracile and smaller, have the intelligence of early hominins, they build spears and special clubs and knives. They are curious but aggressive, and they have one of the best sonar communication out of all aliens on the planet. They have thorns on their hands and nearly pitch-black eyes. Yellow-orange bioluminescent sub-organs populate their body. The most recent of these breeds are the small white type. They are the descendants of albino purple types and have a deformity which increases intelligence. They have been shown to build structures, domesticate other creatures, build sophisticated weapons. What is strange is how they treat other breeds. They use Turquoise types as slaves and they like to "civilize" purple types


Any one want to hear more trivia about the aliens

What an interesting story Stegotyranno! You have a privileged imagination.

Aeromacharius sonds pretty cool for that creature

Actually, I used to learn Latin at school back from 1989 until 1994. Most knowledge has vanished over the years, since you don´t use Latin that often, do you?
But it is still helpful today in terms of translating species Names into their sense of the word, which sometimes is something completly different than the colloquial name.

The names for your drawings derive from this knowledge and the combination of features the creatures reveal plus what sounds good and passes one´s lips more or less fluently. That means that sometimes the names are probably wrong grammatically, but they sound good.

Death Worm(alias; Bull Worm, Tusk Worm, Groundbreaker, Deathjaw, Hellworm, Gigamandiblis[genus name])

A death worm breaks out of the ground while attacking currently unnamed prey.

The death worm is a force to be reckoned with. They are so big and hard to study, that its impossible to see how big they are. They are the predators of predators, crushing, squeezing, constricting, and sucking basically anything that's not related to them. Known to attack even Airknives, grappling onto them with their gargantuan jaws in midair, until they stop breathing and crash land. Some say they are the ground equalivent Airknives, both are gigantic, powerful, creatures with amazing senses, who despite being top predators, constantly lose to other creatures, such as Aeropelts, who use spears to attack predators more powerful and larger than themselves.  They have a simple weakness, but the cure they figured out for it made them even more formidible. They cant stay in the light of the planets Sun. Nobody knows why. Some think they have weak, soft skin, but 5 healthy specimens had more though, scale-like skin. Maybe its the weak "eyes" they have. Anywho, inorder too protect themselve from the sun, they used to dig back in the ground and stay for 2 minutes at the max, while hunting. But they found a way to really destroy their prey's chances. They spin around, making dusty winds that block the view and confuse sonar systems of prey. Then the dust could be used as a sheild from the light, and then the prey is killed by being stabbed and thrown and crushed by the death worm.  They suck the fluids and sometimes even whole body parts and organs of their helpless prey using their elongated mouth parts. However, this stragety has made smaller, weaker generations, but they have time to do other things besides hunting, like dancing for mating rights.

Who wants to hear more trivia. Any questions

Thanks @Shonisaurus . Do you have any questions about the aliens

[Shonisaurus]

@Stegotyranno The only question I have is the following. Taking into account that we are surrounded by millions of planets, many similar or equal to Earth, I understand that there may be planets that are not only inhabited by aliens but also that they may be less geologically evolved than Earth and that plant and animal life similar to that of the pre-human era as prehistoric fish, invertebrates, prehistoric amphibians, dinosaurs, pterosaurs, prehistoric mammals.

In other words, wouldn't it be logical that there were the possibility of planets that are in the Ordovirus period or in the Cretaceous period or in the Eocene, Oligocene, Triassic period? I understand that there may be possibilities that such situations exist, and what is more, on some planets they are not only not less developed than on Earth but they are going through the Iron Age period (Iron Age civilizations), Empire Roman or Modern Age the time of the Renaissance or Contemporary Age of the Enlightenment and Revolutions as the French of 1789. Among so many habitable planets these circumstances can occur.

I dont get what you are trying to say.

What I mean is that if you do not believe that there are planets outside our universe with identical living conditions to Earth that are in a geological era such as the age of dinosaurs with animals equal to or similar to the prehistoric animals and dinosaurs that have inhabited the earth?

[Stegotyranno420]

@Shonisaurus im not sure exactly so i will give my best repsonse.

I believe in former universes, there were also dinosaurs, but slighlty different in things like size, power, ansectry, etc.

For example in a previous universe, stegosaurus may had been a 2400 meter long beast.

Each universe is like a test run for God, and so is evolution of species. In the  beggining of Earth(our Universe), God preffered simple organisms, but over time he changed them to multicelluar, eukaryotic, protozoan, Colonial protozoans, animals, bilateral animals, early fish, fish, placoderm, scapyoptergyian, amphibian, reptile, synapsid, mammal, placental mammal, primate(at this point, he probally gave his creations godlike abillities to alter objects, teach others or imagine things.) monkey, ape, and finally, Humans(who is even more godlike in terms of brains, but a mere morsel compared to God)

[Shonisaurus]

@Stegotyranno Thanks for your answer. It is quite correct although I think that perhaps on some planet in the Universe evolution has stopped and dinosaurs still exist, although as you say of other characteristics and sizes and shapes that we know.

[Stegotyranno420]

Yes. Anywho, you have any ideas for aliens.
