BEYOND THE EARTH: A NATURAL HISTORY OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE

Extraterrestrial life

A spacecraft from another solar system invades the night sky... but this is not our sky... and we are the invaders. The search for alien life has begun. The life these worlds beyond our solar system support test the limits of technology and the intellects of the greatest minds of our generations, because life is truly full of surprises.

----------

TEMPEST

-A planet like Earth, orbiting two suns at an elliptical orbit. Due to its extreme orbit, the seasons are more extreme; shorter summers and longer winters. But life has found ways to adapt to these conditions, from hibernation to creating a new generation.
    1)    Seasaron (adaptable herbivore)
    2)    Reincarnator (scavengers that live only one year)
    3)    Tempear (hibernating predator)
    4)    Scoopa (migrating grazer)
    5)    Winter Worm
    6)    Kakaka (flyer)
    7)    Blizzard Breaker (winter predator)
    8)    Frostwarmer (aquatic hunter)
    9)    Carnofungus
    10)    Snowjuice Berrytree
    11)    Eternity Stalks
    12)    Stilt Forest Trees

OCEANUS

-A planet twice the size of Earth, with a global ocean covering 90% of its surface. Due to the lack of a moon, its climate is unpredictable, and little lives on land, but the ocean is teeming with new, bizarre alien life.
    1)    Cetar (shark-like predator)
    2)    Skish (fish)
    3)    Squidwhale
    4)    Flingo (fliers)
    5)    Gel-City
    6)    Oarskimmer
    7)    Sentryspider
    8)    Island Hoppers
    9)    Heaven’s Seaweed
    10)    Floral
    11)    Megalily
    12)    Scraperbrush

SILENTIUM

-A planet that orbits a red-dwarf star in such close proximity that the star’s gravity has stopped the planet’s rotation, meaning one side of the planet is always facing its sun. However, life has adapted to these extreme conditions.
    1)    Stridesnort (scavenger on dayside that lays young in carcasses)
    2)    Glutorm (young Stridesnort)
    3)    Carvant (daytime termite equivalent predator)
    4)    Wandergarden (daytime algae feeder)
    5)    Night Walker (nighttime herbivore)
    6)    Kissnoodles (nighttime filter feeder)
    7)    Neonstalker (nighttime predator)
    8)    Twihermit (exclusive to twilight zone)
    9)    Firetrap (carnivorous plant in night)
    10)    Stillflower (daytime plant)
    11)    Cob Bulb (twilight tuber)
    12)    Neutron Fan

DESERTUM

-A planet that is a harsh, bleak, desert, with grasslands scattered, and huge dust storms leave the planet in perpetual twilight. The plants and animals there have been shaped into weird new forms.
    1)    Scissorine (wolf-like predator)
    2)    Sandstrider (buffalo-like herbivore)
    3)    Skittat (gopher-like creature)
    4)    Vacupede (giant herbivore)
    5)    Scornus (apex predator)
    6)    Gooduk (lake-dwelling omnivore)
    7)    Dusk Glider
    8)    Bufork (lake predator)
    9)    Black Bark
    10)    Dark Shrubs
    11)    Blade Bush
    12)    Dusk Reed

CAELUM

-An Earth-like moon orbiting a gas giant, with a lower gravity and ocean-like atmosphere. This means many lifeforms there can fly, and many of them are bigger than they would be on Earth.

    1)    Skytan (giant flying filter feeder)
    2)    Sunfire Wasp (aerial predator)
    3)    Organ Blimp (floating lifeforms)
    4)    Harpooner (ambush predator)
    5)    Tribug
    6)    Treestar Trap
    7)    Great Gorer (apex predator)
    8)    Sky Cleaner
    9)    Hallelujah Tree
    10)    Helium Pod
    11)    Cliff-Moss
    12)    Floating Trees

GENUS

-A planet 9 billion years old, double the age of Earth. Old enough to see a hyper-advanced civilization evolve. But this race is on the brink of extinction, and is preparing to leave for a more hospitable world.
    1)    Genusian (intelligent race)
    2)    Canog
    3)    Felat
    4)    Scrap-Grazer
    5)    Dune-Hunter
    6)    Avird
    7)    Primkey
    8)    Oracle Carrier
    9)    Lotus Floater
