Description I’ve been trying to give a tri-lateral design for the masaka for the past month or two, buuut I wasn’t really liking the results, and I really miss their old, cyclops eye and horizontal jaw. So I’m bringing the old design back, but instead of them having boring humanoid bipedal bodies, they are now shrimp.

Honestly I like this one and the tri-lateral "weasel" design.  Either way they are still very interesting aliens.

Yeah, I'm most likely sticking with the 'shrimp' design, it just feels more developed while the tri-lateral design just felt too abstract (which is a shame since I really wanted a sym radial design, oh well).

Still I suggest trilateral weasels should be a thing.  At least someone's pets or something.  for reasons.

Yeah, it's a concept I'm definitely packing for later.
I want to use it again when I can.

I like how you try to avoid what I call Star Trek Syndrome with your aliens. It’s something a lot of settings don’t try risking.

Oh geeze man, I am so unbelievably picky over alien designs, whether it's my own or not. I have this mentality of "if it physiologically looks like something that could evolve on Earth, it's a bad alien design", because I fell that, well, that's the whole point of making an alien right? :V

It's fine for people to design their ETs however they see fit of course, but if you want me to swoon over it, avoid humanoids and furries.

And yeah, I don't see it very often either, so it's always a treat when I do find it!
