All wonderfully alien aliens! My favorites must be... oh it's so hard to choose... I suppose I'll give a few words to some of the strangest I see.
The tripod seems to be a fantastically topical-feeling alien. I just like body plans like that, simple yeta full of weirdness.
The same could be said for "love-eye." The heart-shaped eye is definently an alien feature. I could think of some ways it could be possible. Remembr, photoreceptors, or the casings of the photoreceptors need not resemble eyes. It could be adapted to a different radiation. It could be a plate of hardened light-sensitive skin. Have you seen frog's eyes on earth? I have seen there are species with vey odd pupils, in the shape of squares, and hearts.
When I saw the hatching sonar-tetrapod, I thought it was a whole creature. What sort of biology would that have been?
The low-gravity-hoofed-biped certainly seems to have been given considerable thought into its reproduction cycle. Requirements of specific minerals or chemicals to reproduce, that is interesting!
I also like the new rendition of the chromasaucer! (smile)
