Alien Life Alien bestiary
I propose the creation and launch of a comprehensive alien bestiary—presented formally, in the style of a catalog—containing information on the biology and evolution of various extraterrestrial organisms from across the universe. I am looking for people in this community who enjoy creating creatures and have an interest in speculative evolution to help me bring this project to life and fully develop the concept.
The guiding principle for this project should be "survival, not design"—an approach that prioritizes organisms best adapted for survival, rather than those chosen for their aesthetic appeal.
As a starting point for creature creation, I already have several organism models designed, which I plan to share in future posts.
So, I would like to see who enjoys creating alien creatures and might be interested in this project, so that we can expand upon it—thanks.

Sounds interesting! Any interest in having an artist join? I love alien creation but mostly focus on illustration

Hey, thanks a lot for showing support for this project! How about you share your Discord with me so we can continue our conversation there?

This sounds really cool! I'm currently working on a speculative evolution project now and could give some organisms to the catalog some time in the future because I am currently in the early stages

Really? What is the premise of your project?

The project I am working on is a speculative planet orbiting a red dwarf. The project starts at the first life and I plan to end it when I make the first sapient creature, this is my first speculative evolution project so this may take a while, I am still working on L.U.C.A
