Question	—	How to explain a planet around a K-Type star with Orange/Red/Purple plants? Basically, in a sci-fi roleplaying group I am apart of, I have began to work on a long-standing human colony world. The tech-level is pretty much bog-standard sci-fi, and such, colonisation is possible and is already widespread. This planet is known for its fall/autumn tones and colours within its ...

Question	—	Is there a reason for a humanoid species to be 'biologically' matriarchal with females being slightly more dominant than the males? Following my last question asked regarding oviparous humanoids, is there a way for evolution to 'regard' females as the more dominant gender without going down that road, forming a heavily matriarchal society in the near-modern day? Many thoughts I have had are inspired by female-dominated species in... (more)	—	about 5 years ago
Question	—	Is there a way for human-sized oviparous humanoid mammals to produce young in eggs without going the full marsupial route? As per my last two questions asked, I still have a niggling query left regarding a humanoid species in production. To further support their matriarchal theme through evolution, I have decided to make them an oviparous species (egg laying). Conducting my own research, I have found that a smallish ostr...

Question	—	What alterations without drastically altering their humanoid shape nor horns, can I make to my species that lower the risk of neck snapping? continuing from the question I had asked yesterday, I have had another query come to mind. For my humanoid alien species to possess horns, it would surely put forward the risk of being the shortcut to a fatal neck injury, as they'd act as handlebars. These horns serve the purpose for additional heari... (more)	—	over 5 years ago
Question	—	Is it plausible for a being to possess a singular halo-shaped 'horn', while other members of the species possess two 'regular horns'? I am currently working a humanoid roughly deer-like species in a sci-fi roleplay setting, and one of the developments I have had with such species has me stuck trying to explain it in a way that makes somewhat of sense. Furthermore, I apologize if this question breaks any rules, I am still rather new... (more)	—	over 5 years ago
Question	—	Is the Avian species from the game Starbound plausible? I apologize if this question is not written up to standards, I am rather new to this site. I have been an avid fan of chucklefish's acclaimed sandbox title, Starbound, for a number of years now and one question has always stuck in my mind. Is it plausible for the Avian species to exist? The Avians ... (more)	—	over 5 years ago
