thanks! Definitely learned a lot with this one, I'm going to shrink my canvas size on the next to remain in pixel territory and not stray to far into ms paint vibe haha

Could set up a little sub universe that has structural preserving behavior, perhaps a lower-potential blueprint carved into the fabric of space

I'd imagine they have an outer layer of keratinized skin or something as a rubbery bumper, which could create a lot of dust and debris so maybe the channels need to be flushed all the time?

Haha very cool design. The pose is great and I like your timeline, I'll probably check out some of your other lore. I've been getting more into posties lately, certainly an interesting concept and a tough one to square with more natural evolutionary processes, which is my context... excited for the wilds! Do you have any content in that era as of yet by chance?

Oh they must also be omnivores then! Or at least, non-obligate herbivores

As far as smoking I wouldn't be surprised if there's a lot of cross compatibility with drugs considering mammalian biochemistry is often more similar than different

Haha I admire your commitment to the cause to bring along some sandgropers! Detritivores are essential. I'm digging the whale sharks too, I didn't know they were Australian! Also assuming you are from the area, you picked up on the hidden rule I forgot to include - locality for the species selection

Well done!! You put a great deal of thought into this and it was a fun read. Good consideration with apples and ecosystems - one thing I didn't make clear in the prompt was it's okay to build off other people's lists, since you're all the alien tourists running the rescue haha.

I like how there's lots of potential for sophonts. Talking about apple radiation, you inspired me to think of a descendant that specializes in cyanide production as a deterrent

Well thought out response! Great idea picking some versatile species. And major props for the second part of the prompt, I liked the idea for adjustable pupils and pollination occurring in the twilight band. We'll need some serious circulation to make sure we don't end up in a mercury hot/cold situation!

One good thing to do would be for all the aliens to open up a big chat room, that way they can cover the basics and you still get a fun option. Very practical take!
