ALIEN

BASIC INFO ??? MANDATORY CHANGES ● A larger head or brain. ● Tinted skin. This skews more cool colors (grey, green, blue). Can be all over or just partial. ● Larger eyes that look inhuman. ● Elongated Fingers. ● A shorter and/or thinner stature. ● Ability to produce a corrosive acid. ● Telekinesis. Aliens have exceptional telepathy and can use it to levitate themselves or others. ● Fascination with electronics. Aliens are captivated by technology and love to take things apart to see how they work. ● A thirst for knowledge. Aliens have an insatiable curiosity and desire to learn. ● A weakness to being perceived. Aliens enjoy asking questions, but hate it when questions are posed to them in return. Impersonal facts are a much safer conversation topic for them. The longer the focus is on them, the weaker they feel. ● A need to feed on human flesh or organs. Aliens like to use helpful tools, or their acid ability, to attack their prey. They have a tendency to rip into their food and mutilate it with brute force. [back to top] OPTIONAL CHANGES ● Any psychological changes are welcome! Feel free to pull from real world myths, canon creatures of this variety, or any other source! ● A fog form. This is an exaggerated version of their monster form that appears only during the fog and is a chance to make your monster more "horrifying" during the fog. ● Travel form: the ability to take the form of a tiny (roughly handheld) UFO at any time. In this form the character will be able to travel faster, however, they will also be more vulnerable. ● Up to four extra limbs. ● May have any number of (functional) eyes, including one. ● Glowing fingers. ● Smaller or bigger ears. ● A smaller head within their mouth. ● The ability to understand any other language, even when another character purposely tries to speak a different language to hide their words. ● Telepathy. Can read thoughts (with player permission) or project their thoughts to someone far away. (CW: BRAIN DAMAGE, GORE, MEDICAL EXPERIMENTATION, click to open) ● Apart from the hunger for flesh, some Aliens hunger for knowledge. Aliens literally crave knowledge, and will kidnap humans (or monsters) to devour their brains to absorb trivial facts. They can accomplish this by dissolving the skull with their acid or using another way to break it open. They may also be driven to probe and experiment on the human remains. [back to top] ALLOWED SPECIES Alien designs can draw inspiration from any being categorized as an extra terrestrial. This includes extra terrestrials exclusive to a character's home world.

(frozen comment) FAQ (cw: braindamage, experimentation in the feeding category!)

[ryslighelpers]

Have a very specific question in mind? Here's some questions that have been asked in the past!

FIRST OFF:

What sort of monster is this? What does 'limited edition' mean?
This is one of three special monster types introduced during an event in November 2023. The Fog cannot turn her children into any of these monsters on her own accord, so there is no need to opt out of them during the application process. Characters cannot have these monster types permanently. At the moment, the only way to get one of the limited edition monster types is to purchase a one month temp change through the Mana Rewards page.

Can I buy this monster form for two consecutive months? Or four?
No. One month is the limit, and you will need to wait at least one month before you can purchase this same monster type again. So for example, if you spend January as Alien, you can't purchase Alien again until March.

What about switching to a different limited edition monster?
That's allowed! If you'd like to spend one month as Alien, one month as Cryptid and one month as Elder God in a row, go for it!


FEEDING:

So Aliens can have two feeding methods?
Correct. The meat feeding is the default that every single Alien will have, and the brain feeding is a secondary method of sating hunger that's entirely optional. Please remember to use content warnings when threading out/about this feeding method.

Does this second method sate an Alien's hunger fully?
Yes. While a monster usually needs to eat the equivalent of one entire human to have their full hunger sated, the metabolism of Aliens with this secondary feeding method will be honed in specifically on brain matter and draw the most nutrients out of there.


MONSTER ABILITIES:

What are the limits of an Alien's corrosive acid?
It's mostly meant to burn through organic material! If used on something like metal, or a synthetic material like plastic, it will still cause damage, but may not actually burn through all the way.
