i like the spring foot of the first alien, through i don't like it's wings, they look bat-like and not alien enough.

I respect your opinions, but I want to say why I personally likes my choice with the design.
Not only was it fun to draw the lines and angles of the wings, I also think that these more "familiar"-looking wings serves as a nice contrast to how alien the rest of the body is, like some kind of aesthetic balance where one "normal" detail is there to emphasize the surrealness of the whole picture.

Once again, You Score in alien design! I really like the magmamorphs, I thought they could be based on silicones under specilized or artificial conditions. They would make good slve labor to a species interested in havesting resourses from such a hostile planet. The springer-foot thig is cool because I like ideas of moveing across land without legs (I wonder how they would have sex). I would be interesting to see a line of vertebrates desended from N.3. I would say all of them are well designed for use somewhere in the universe, but my favorites must be 6 and 7.

I like your idea about the idea of the magmamorphs but I wonder how the enslavers can control something that’s made of magma and what kinds of resources they want.
Regarding your question about Alien N.1, I’m adding the answer into the text.
And I am working on possible descendants of the Alien N.3. Recently I have imagined “grasshopper” and “cobra” versions and even a big animal with animalocaris-esque mandibles and peacock-like tail.
You said I scored in alien design. Well, on a paper I sketch down FAR more weirder alien morphologies. So weird and bizarre I don’t know exactly how they evolved and function, they look equally weird as your igua´s and dk'dk´s.

Nanotechnology? For a galactic or universal civilization, anthing may become a resource with neutronium alchemy.
COOL!
Sounds interesting, especialy since I am a fan of animalocaris.
Now that sounds really cool! Interesting in your sketching down then figuring out the funtion's latter, I've done that before and it could lead to some good alien designs, if you stick tight to physics.

Speaking about "stick tight to physics", how were you thinking when you designed the 101011000 and the Sen-614 races which have hydrogen as genome?
I like your aliens but I question those imaginative ideas because hydrogen is so simple it could never support a living system on its own, so how did get that idea in your head anyway?

I got the idea of the 101011000 in a lab expirament at school. I know that silicon life would require a very hot and oxygenless enviornment. This may also come to play with magnetic life on thermojovian worlds. So I basically combined the two into the 101011000.
The sen 1-614 races are based on hydrogen spin configurations of o-hydrogen and p-hydrogen with a helium interior. With the helium in place to store energy, the inner o-hydrogen layer would absorb it and release energy when they transform into the p-hydrogen state. It would have to be very cold (a few degrees above absolute zero) for this life, so it may be common on pyloids. I thought I first read of this in one of your links...

Ah, now it make more sense to me now.
