HOLY CRAP THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR USING MY THISTLE WORMS AND SHOWING ALL THE OTHER CREATURES ME AND THE WEEVIL OVERLORD MADE AT THE END it was an actual honour, THANK YOU❤
yo, its me, weevil, thanks again for using the art, hopefully, if it is possible, you make a second part to this featuring more of the world, especially life above the ice
here's an idea: a post human adapted to life on the extremely radioactive and dry surface of earth after the gamma ray burst. I really hope you explore more into what happened in the solar system.
I've heard of stories about under ice sapient life before. I want to hear a story about how a human mining expedition tapped into the ice for survey data and inadvertently made first contact.
I wonder if their evolution would ever change in the future so, as the fight for males grew less and less inhumane, like, they’d eventually come to the conclusion that males are just as conscious as females, so I’d assume that they’d evolve to be less sexually dimorphic and probably be around the same size. Possibly females are bigger on average, but it’s still normal for males to on occasion be bigger than a female. It’s like how humans are technically sexually dimorphic, but most of the dimorphism disappeared as we evolved, but there are still some remnants of it despite us not living in a hunter/gatherer like time anymore. So now females on average are smaller than males when both are adults, but it’s still common for females to be physically stronger and taller than males because it’s also their genetics that play a role in what determines your physicality. So I’d assume the way they’d evolve in the future would be similar, where the females and males eventually become the same size on average. Probably. I assume evolution for this species works like ours, and how the ones born with mutations that are beneficial get to survive and have their genetic characteristics exist, and the ones that don’t have those mutations eventually dry up and disappear.
There's an interesting conundrum in the concept of dryness. As subaquatic beings whose ocean knows no gaseous matter whatsoever, the idea of a gas, be it oxygen or anything else, would be as alien to them as a vacuum is to us - something they hadn't even anticipated the possibility of when they decided to go upwards. They might not even be able to conceptualize the difference between a vacuum and a gas - simply seeing both as the same nothingness, with one more pressurized than the other, but the difference not measurable by their physical senses. Dryness, then, would be the absence of liquid - but what does it mean for a liquid to be absent if all your species has ever known was liquid? It'd be like as though carbon ceased existing for us. Artificial evaporation chambers where all liquid is removed, resulting in trace gases and water vapor would be scientific marvels. They might not discover elements which naturally exist in gaseous form for a long, long time, resulting in vastly divergent theories for why things like stars are possible. For space travel, this would add an additional layer to overcome - we just have to exit the atmosphere and then the gravity well of a planet, but these aliens would have to first exit the ocean, then exit the atmosphere and then the gravity well. Lower rocket stages that use fins or propellers to shoot upwards from the industrialized ocean floor might be common, with installations on the frozen surface akin to space stations.
A species like this on an indepdent planet out in space is such an amazing idea - they'd need such different developments than us to move up in the cosmos, I wonder how they'll get further than this! This is such a cool story here ^&^
Here an idea for the males since they cant have computers they can train the males to become biological computers kinda like the mentats who replace the supercomputers and ai in dune
i had this idea exept in my one the aliens where on a rouge planet wich was slowly freezing over as they had to come up with new ways of not freezing to death with there limited resourses.
So, are these aliens completely trapped underwater like an exoplanet, or can perhaps poke their eyes to see the stars and expand beyond? Edit: goddammit! Edit2: YAAAAAY
I might do a part two on these guys, specifically, but for now, you can look at the other two videos I've released in this series, there's a playlist on the channel. And even if I don't do more with the Ybettes, themselves, there will be plenty of episodes with other, new aliens
Great video. I have e a few questions though. How do these guys eat? How do they communicate with eachother? They are the size of a human hand? Would it make more sense for the titles of the priests to be switched? Blue for the Frozen surface barrier and Red for the volcanic ocean floor.
They have mouths on their front two tentacles and expel an ink-like waste product from their back two tentacles, which they use to communicate, along with light-based speech from the bioluminescent lights on the fronts of their head. And the blue priests are for the frozen surface, while the red are for the volcanic floor. Also, yeah, they're the size of a human hand. You can see an exact size comparison on my community page, if you want.
@@Cree8Ball What? The picture suggests the opposite which didn't make sense to me given the context of the surface being a frozen ceiling and the ocean floor is where all the life giving heat is found.
@@dalekrenegade2596 the blurb above the blue priest says "priest of Kuiahu, church of the frozen abyss" and above the red priest is "priest of Euok, church of the surface flame," which is correct for each color. Either way, it's fine, I'm just curious where our misunderstanding is lol
Some potential lore expansions I thought of: (TW: Suicide) 1 Mental health: I imagine that treatment for things such as depression and anxiety would vary a lot between the sexes. For females they’d probably get whatever treatment they could get. But for males, I’d imagine that suicide would be the more favored option. Because 1: societal inertia from a matriarchy to something more equal. And 2: need for the species to reproduce. Of course some groups are quicker to suggest suicide than others. Chapter 2: cults While this draws inspiration from a dystopia I made I think it would be interesting to explore the underbelly of this species’ culture. What if there was a cult that actively wanted males dead? As in these guys are remnants from the older teachings? these cultists would actively seek out mentally il males and drive them to “mate” for lack of a better term? How would this species handle a cult like that? Would they consider it as a part of their treatment for mental health or would they try to fight back against the cult?
I like the ra'tokal. They're most definitely not extinct. I like my monsters, and monsters are hard to completely remove. That's the truth of it because l like monsters Yeah, I know it's a lil stupid...
The first episode has the Harlos, which are a bunch of sapient aliens with basically no dexterity -- like they don't have hands or anything like that. So they domesticate these other aliens, called the Joones, which aren't sapient but have fully dexterous hands. Together they're able to make a highly advanced, space faring civilization and all is going well until a nuclear war kills everyone on the home planet. Luckily, though, the moon colonists survive and are able to push the species forward. Then episode two has the Yöks, which are radiotrophic plant-like things that evolved on a highly radioactive planet. Again, there's a nuclear war and again, they start exploring space. But unlike most other species, they decide to develop massive mega structures, like Dyson Spheres and planet sized space stations, which required them to indiscriminately harvest thousands of star systems, killing a lot of aliens in the process. But luckily, they've been stopped since then and construction on the mega structures has ceased
They can expell water through the holes in their shells, kinda like an octopus, and they use the sounds of that to make words. A lot of their language also uses ink and bioluminescent signals (the little dangle above their eye can glow)
Yeah, an earlier draft of the script had a little section talking about how extermination campaigns are actually a really bad idea, but I ended up cutting it for the sake of simplicity
Probably because the gene that made the women intelligent happened to also make the men intelligent. Intelligent men turned out to be just as likely to survive and reproduce as unintelligent men, so they continued to pass their genes
I love me some cold planets nearly entirely covered in ice except for a few hydrothermal vents. One of my favorite genders
For real, bro
I love how far the lore goes
Yeah, I wasn't happy with how limited the lore was with the other couple of episodes, so I really kicked things up a notch for this one
@@Cree8Ballbut will they ever be able of leaving theire planet or will they remain there until the termal dead of the nucleous?
@@arturonotari8235 no, they're not gonna leave the planet ever
@@Cree8Ball Ho... ok.

Idea: intelligent aliens from a gas giant.
Yeah, I was thinking of something like that! Like maybe they evolved on the surface of the planet's core or something
@@Cree8Ballor they evolved from spores or liquid water droplets that floated in the upper atmosphere
@@Cree8Ballyou did it 🥳

Finally someone managed to figure out aquatic civilization, and do it with ice planet on top of that.
Thank you.
you should make all these creatures eventually meet up and have an alliance for a couple of centuries, then have the Qu from all tomorrows show up
wow you are very creative with aliens. my most unique aliens look like wolves with 4 arms

Glad you enjoyed my guy!
How about a part 2 with the other sapient?
I wonder how these guys would interact with Humanity, would the Humans be seen as gods?
i had this idea exept in my one the aliens where on a rouge planet wich was slowly freezing over as they had to come up with new ways of not freezing to death with there limited resourses.
About the picture showing the priests, what are their clothes made of?
I think we decided they were made of woven algae and seaweed and things like that
All hail cre8ball
welp , its time to join another discord server
So, are these aliens completely trapped underwater like an exoplanet, or can perhaps poke their eyes to see the stars and expand beyond?

now make one for gas giant planet
I’m too tired to Florsche find today, sorry 😅 also darn I feel horrible for the males. The language looks
AMAZING!
Don't worry my guy, there aren't any Florshes in this one, anyway
So is the "head" place an eye or a beak like mouth? Then where is its mouth or does it have any eyes?
The "head" and "neck" is an eye and eye stalk. It's mouths are on the ends of its front two tentacles
Is this Cut Leak Content for HALF LIFE 3!?!
