(What I hope to be) one of the main draws of Under Stars is that there are at least a dozen alien races, many of which are central to the plot, all of which are actually alien. There are no Star Trek-ish-humanoid-substitute-for-a-real-world-culture aliens here.
You heard me. Different customs, languages, mindsets, etc, for all of them. And none of them will look remotely human.
...this might take a while.
With that in mind, here's the first! As you can tell, Britgotians were obviously inspired by crabs-- the main difference being, as I noted, that they stand on only two of their legs. They've got crazy powerful muscles in those legs, lol.
They also share a planet with three other sentient species, which will be posted next. Oddly enough, Britgotians are the most similar to human beings of these four species. You'll see what I mean.
Incidentally, many of the aliens in US started out as silly-looking humanoid scribbles (when I was much younger), and all of them have now turned into Starfish Aliens. Britgotians were originally green-skinned horny midgets. Let that sink in for a minute. :P
