Description (Specifications)

While most unconventional life is traditionally considered to be dry life, some kinds of wet life are also often considered to be unconventional.

Traditional Unconventional Life

• Dry life
• Not flesh and blood
• May exist in forms of matter other than solids or liquids such as gaseous or plasmeic high-energy forms
• May be terrestrial in origin
• More often is jovian or aterrestrial in origin
• Baryonic matter
• Conventional timespace

Untraditional Unconventional Life

• Wet life with a twist

Unconventional Lifeforms

While lesser-known and far more exotic lifeform types also exist:

• Exotic Biologies
  • Plantimals, hybrids of animal and plant life, exhibiting features of both.
  • Silicoids, life based upon the use of Silicone rather than carbon for structure. Some Silicoids use both Carbon and Silicone.
• Exotic Morphologies
  • Centauroids
  • Floaters
  • Motile Plantoids
  • Triphibians
• Extremophiles
  • Anaerobic life
  • Cryomorphs, life adapted to very low temperatures.
  • Halophiles
  • Methanophiles
  • Thermomorphs, life adapted to very high temperatures. Many Thermomorphs are also Silicoids as Silicone is a heat-resistant material.
• Unconventional Environments
  • Jovionoids: Creatures native to gas giants.
  • Vacumorphs, creatures native to the vacuum.
