NEW ALIEN AGAIN! This one I wanted to stick to being more Earth inspired, connecting with my roots. I'm calling 'em Styraphants cause they're mostly a mix of styracosaurus, elephant, and mollusk of course. Trying to make a quad walking sophont always lends to kind of a centaur-ish body plan, so tried to think outside the box for appendages this go around. They've got a pair of trunk tentacles around their mouth that they use as their hands, which have a fleshy 'zipper' to slot together at rest. They also smell/taste with them so gloves are a very popular purchase.
Oh also! Their eyes are on little stalks that peak out around their frill, they can hide them away if scared. Also all the fellas pictured here are gals! They have a male/female system in keeping with the Earthling megafauna theme.
No option for quiters. I started actively smoking at 15 but had smoke before that, I quit at 20 so for 6 years now. I smoked about 60 times every 3-4 days by 18.
I do find it more disgusting now than I ever did before, the smell is incredibly nauseating, I would not be able to actively even be around people who smoke.
I even keep my distance from my dad when he's just had a smoke.
