How do they speak to each other?

Crap, I guess I forgot that part. They must communicate primarily through their sense of smell. More precise communication includes touching, and puffing jets of water.

Then how do they produce a vocalization that sounds something like "Vizxe'pcizi Mo"?

They don't. The name is the best analogy in traslation from their olfactory/tactile language to our vocal one. So the vocalized name you see is for humans' sakes.

Whoa now, of course you as a human are capable of such things. But I'll see if I could figure a few tips to post on your page.
And thanks!

Interesting. The "eyes that arenΒ΄t eyes"-idea is bringing my thoughts to Hal ClementΒ΄s "<[link] >Uncommon Sense", there the aliens had pinhole camera eyes which functioned as noses.
And did you never noticed I asked you a question in the commentaries in "Alien Creatures"?

Ah, very interesting. I'll think about that world to see how possible it is in my opinion.
Yes I saw, sorry but I haven't been able to really get to my computer for a time (complicated). I'll post right after I finish posting here.

HAHAHA! Yes, quite. XD
Probably wouldn't be good to sample any of their drinks, they did evolve in ammonia after all.

Thanks, but what exactly do you mean by "how do I do that"?

How do you come up with all these amazing creatures?

Many ways... These were inspired by a description of the vampire squid. Others times I would apply many characteristics of various known orgnisms into novel body plans for the design. Every now and then, I would even be able to think of a very different structure by looking at everyday objects.
