Considering Thax has already suggested three aliens, which I have made, on this thread... not at all! as long as you stick to one at a time (and keep it vague) I don't have a problem with you making multiple suggestions! Name: Duck Tape

Body: Duck with silverfish tape for hands and feet.

Ability: Fixing things with tape ...but I do have a problem with using human objects in alien biology. You would need a damn good excuse to get away with that (Bloxx, for example, evolved to hide inside the already block-like architecture of their home planet to escape invaders). Considering the scientific community has criticised NASA for trying to use arrows as a visual communication tool when talking to aliens (despite the fact that arrows are based off of the laws of aerodynamics, a law any space-faring race must understand) I don't think that is unfair of me to say.

Unless you can come up with that excuse, I'm going to change the 'tape' part of the design and replace it with 'adhesive webbing'. That way it seems biologically plausible and the name still fits.

That being said, I still want to design Magmalight and Barrier Reef first, so you may end up waiting a while.
