Question	—	A creature with a built in flashlight I know things like flashlight fish exist; things with luminescence and all that. But how strong could the light be? I have this cave dwelling species with three eyes except the middle one isn't exactly an eye but a place that can create a beam of light like a flashlight so the creature can see. It c...

Question	—	Could a creature using electromagnetic forces or something to do with ions fly? This is a small arrow shaped creature that can fly without wings. Can it use electromagnetism to fly? Or maybe something to do with ions? Or however ufos are theorized to work? I'm not quite sure what technique I'm looking for here. What can I use to make it fly? (more)	—	over 4 years ago
Question	—	Could a round legless creature be able to move by bouncing? Working on my Nintendo Kirby alternate universe where things are more biologically realistic. Many life forms are roundish legless creatures that can move by bouncing. How can this work and is it as efficient as legs? (more)	—	over 4 years ago
Question	—	Would Chemosynthetic plants have any reason to grow tall? I have a planet too far away from its sun for photosynthesis to work well, so the plants use chemosynthesis. But since they don't use sunlight, would they have any reason to grow above ground? Some tall(tree sized) ones too? They need to be above ground so the herbivores have easy access to them. A...

Question	—	How can a rogue planet get energy for plants to use? This rogue planet is a cold rocky world where liquid methane replaces water, hydrogen is used in place of oxygen, and a large moon. I was thinking the large moon would have a large tidal pull that keeps the mantle active and generates tons of geothermal energy for the plants to use in place of sunli... (more)	—	over 4 years ago
Question	—	How could crystal lifeforms move and work? I have a creature that is made of crystal. The problem is, crystal as I know it is structured in ways that don't allow for flexible movement as we are able to do. How could a lifeform made of crystal move like us? What about a rock creature? It has a spherical body and 2 arms and 2 legs. Basically ... (more)	—	almost 5 years ago
Question	—	How would a creature like this work? This lifeform is a carbon based humanoid that uses ammonia instead of water, breathes chlorine gas, and its body uses the mineral olivine to toughen its skin. Its blood is blue; apparently an ammonia-copper mix would be that color. The temperature is colder than the earth average, and there is enough... (more)	—	almost 5 years ago
Question	—	Plausibility of a creature made of ice or other low melting point materials When I was younger I came up with a creature that seemed to contradict itself. It was made of some frozen material, but it had a large back fin in order to get warmth from the sun. I'm revisiting the idea, and wondering if such a creature would actually work, and what it might be made of. If it can'... (more)	—	almost 5 years ago
Question	—	How a snail like creature works and retracts into its shell I'm making alternate more realistic designs of Kirby characters. I'm working on a version of Escargoon the "snail" here. Due to his movement in the Kirby anime resembling more of a shuffle I've given my alternate version of him tiny legs sort of like a mole lizards. His movement is also fast. Not...

Question	—	How would an animal make concussive sound waves from its mouth? Think of a thunderdrum from the How To Train Your Dragon movies for its large mouth, but it has a wingless centaur shaped body. It has a large head that can open its mouth wide. How would it create a concussive force with its mouth? I had planned for this creature to be on land, but how it might work... (more)	—	almost 5 years ago
Question	—	Effect of brighter suns on eyes on a creature on a world orbiting a red dwarf I know that red dwarf stars are dimmer than ours. But I also know that red dwarf stars emit a lot of infrared light, so creatures on a world orbiting it would have eyes that see infrared light. If a space faring species from this world traveled near a brighter sun, would they have to protect their ... (more)	—	about 5 years ago
Question	—	How could a non round land creature puff up like a balloon? I've got this ferret shaped land creature from a dream that can make its body expand so it looks sorta like a fat sausage with limbs. It sucks in air with its big mouth to expand. It lives on a world with a thick atmosphere. I've got this idea for how it might could work, but I want some people more... (more)	—	about 5 years ago
Question	—	Could a carbon based lifeform use the mineral olivine in its structure? Why would it? Have a creature from a dream. It's a carbon based humanoid creature partly made of the mineral olivine. Could there be any reason it might contain this mineral? Perhaps a show of health - the more olivine coloration in its skin the healthier it is since it can find more olivine-containing food? I re... (more)	—	about 5 years ago
Question	—	Why would a creature only have feathers on its back? I have a new creature from my complex remembered dreams. It's skin color is a dark color similar to the skin of a Silkie chicken. The thing I saw in the dream also has white feathers. It's body is something like this: Simplified side view. Gray=skin. White=feathers. Has four arms, four legs, and... (more)	—	about 5 years ago
Question	—	Could echolocated images be used for a language? So I have this underwater echolocation using species. I'm wondering if they could have a language partly based on recreating sounds from returning echolocation waves to 'talk' images at each other. (I hope you can understand this. I'm having a bit of difficulty putting it into words). Just realized... (more)	—	about 5 years ago
Question	—	How would a creature with a higher body temperature interact with surroundings? Say I've got a creature with a 15 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit higher body temperature than a human. (Trying to figure out what a good temperature for this creature would be. Not good with number estimates so I'm unsure of what exact temperature I need for this particular creature.) Would it be less vul... (more)	—	about 5 years ago
Question	—	Would a being with electrical powers be able to stick to things using electricity in some way? I have a character that can produce electricity. Would he be able to stick to things and move around on walls and ceilings using his electricity power in some way? It would need to be able to support a person. Would static electricity be able to support a person? If so, what would the limits of it be... (more)	—	about 5 years ago
Question	—	Is there an element or compound that is highly reactive to any component of milk? I like to take inspiration for new fantasy creatures from my dreams, so I get some weird ideas sometimes. Last night I found this species. If milk gets on their skin, the creature looks as if it were burned or had acid put on it. Can an explanation be found in chemistry? Is there an element a creat...

Question	—	How could a creature derive energy from radioactive elements? Have a creature that doesn't really need vitamins or minerals, it only requires energy which goes through a energy-matter conversion to build what it needs. Radioactive materials would be great sources for this creature's high energy needs. This creature has extreme regenerative properties so damag... (more)	—	over 5 years ago
Question	—	If we were to assume the shape of planet Popstar from Kirby is kept that way artificially, how would the shape affect its day/night cycle? Making a semi-realistic Kirby Alternate Universe (AU) here. Popstar's shape is a result of a member of this powerful race using secret magics to alter reality in this AU. What would its day/night cycle look like? What would the shadows from the points look like? Would there be locations that never o... (more)	—	over 5 years ago
Question	—	Can a planets magnetic field be strong enough to make floating continents? I have a planet similar to Venus(similar size and atmosphere) that has floating continents in the atmosphere due to strong magnetic fields. If it is possible, what would the continents need to be made of, and how big could they be? (more)	—	over 5 years ago
