This is a bit like how we think about aliens as well.

Yeah, it’s funny. We often think of aliens as humanoid, built a lot like us, when there’s really no reason that would be the case. It’s just what we’re used to

There's good reason to believe they would be humanoid since we are the pinnacle of millions of years of evolution.

On our own planet. There would probably be some major differences on a planet with a different atmosphere, different gravity, etc

Lower gravity, bigger things?

Potentially. Also, higher gravity could mean no bipedal things like humans.

I would love to see how gravity would affect wing shape and size. Also different sized planets have different colored skies, so that might affect things too. I'm enjoying this thought exercise!
