D6 | These space dwarf aliens look |
---|
1 | like acephaloid orangutans with lacey lichen instead of fur, and fleshy, pharyngeal crabbish pincers instead of hands and feet. |
2 | like chitinous moles, with shells in jewel-esque colours, and a cluster of trunk-like, claw-tipped probosci. |
3 | like an armature of interlocking coralline gears encased in a thick gelatinous sac. |
4 | like they've got the head of an anomalocaris, or maybe the pointy ends of a claw hammer, atop an octopus that's been given knobby knuckles for its tentacles and learned to stand mostly-upright. |
5 | somewhere between lanky frogs and fat kangaroos, with broad, hydraulic limbs like an organic construction vehicle and skin like coconut husk - which is particularly floccose around their necks and bellies. |
6 | like slate, warty anvils - the pointy end a beak which opens for flexible, frond-like tongues and foregut-extrusions, the base a quartet of meaty legs - filaments extend from their backs and sides, flash an incandescent orange at the tips, then retract in waves. |
D6 | These space dwarf aliens mine |
---|
1 | the ruins left behind by the eldritch clade which uplifted their species - the automated defenses of these places will not annihilate them on sight, though even many things not intended as defenses in such places can be devastating. |
2 | hyper-dense iron from the cores of degenerate stars using gargantuan magnetic trawlers. |
3 | out the whole molten mantles of planets, slurping them up with great tick-like installations, filtering out the good stuff and expelling the voluminous slag onto the collapsed and splintered continental shells. |
4 | the wreaths of expelled matter which coalesce around white holes. |
5 | asteroids, pulling them together into orbiting "herds" and laser-branding them with their clan's mark. |
6 | the culturo-synthetic waste of civilizations that didn't manage to pass their Great Filters. |
D6 | These space dwarf aliens drink |
---|
1 | a harsh distillation of their rocket-fuel - unpalatable to just about anyone else, but nigh-hangover-free if you can keep it down. |
2 | a yeasty foam which bubbles up from the grave-pits of their ancestors - drinking it brings possessing echoes of the past. |
3 | the semi-liquid smoke of gigantic, immortal plants which dance upon solar winds like leaves on a breeze - untouchable unless they make a misstep in their dance and self-immolate under mis-reflected rays. |
4 | the euphoric, soporific mucus of a creature like a tank-treaded terrestrial hagfish native to the homeworld. |
5 | a variety of liquors distilled from the grains of a dozen worlds - which liquor they drink is assumed to indicate deep features of their personalities. |
6 | the condensed exudate of psychic entities they trap in maze-like chains of circular logic. |
D6 | These space dwarf aliens forge |
---|
1 | the baryonic conveyors which can move mass-energy at rapid speeds across the galaxy. Some quirk of their psychology or Weltanschauung makes the things unreplicable by any others. |
2 | impossible alloys, hybrids of the metals of this universe, and those of distant shores - alternate phantom-potentialities, subspatial vampire-cosms, ascended and mind-independent noospheres, and so on and suchlike. |
3 | flesh and bone rather than inanimate matter, in the crucible of accelerated, guided evolution. |
4 | the planet-scouring weapons that strip whole worlds of life - by ancient interstellar pact they are the only ones who can - they never sell these weapons fully, only lease them when presented witn the right casus belli - the clamour in their war-courts is deafening, and can go on for a very long time. |
5 | arkane space-ships and -stations, self-contained and -sustaining micro-worlds. |
6 | tremendous, ingenious thinking-machines, as well as the shackles and seals put in place to prevent these machines from rebelling or transcending the perceptible cosmos entirely. |
D6 | These space dwarf aliens have a reputation |
---|
1 | for dourness and irritability - their homeworld was destroyed by their own hands, and nowhere else has ever felt quite right. |
2 | for greed & distractibility by shiny things - an instinctual artifact of nesting and mating displays. |
3 | for holding grudges & repaying debts - they've all got eidetic memories. |
4 | for bad music - which is true by most standards, a lot of it is just repetitive chanting. |
5 | for being tricky dealers - it's a translation issue. |
6 | for sickliness & monomania - this stems from inbreeding among their elites to conserve property ownership, as well as a post-automation classicide against the dispossessed in their civilization. |
D6 | These space dwarf aliens once |
---|
1 | unleashed a demon of anti-light which had been imprisoned since an early era of the universe with their digging, which few have forgiven them for. |
2 | kidnapped a stellar emperor who reneged on an agreement with them and subjected the emperor to such tortures that even referring to them is a crime in many polities. |
3 | held a grand dominion, but its back was broken and their holdings are now terribly diminished. |
4 | were brought to the brink of extinction, but their adoption of cloning & hypnotic incubation-tanks enabled them to repopulate. |
5 | tried to build a physical god - this went poorly. |
6 | were a slave-caste under a celestial theocracy, but used their creations like a poison to destroy it from within and win their freedom. |
These "space alien fantasy creature" generators are tricky in that you're already by definition stretching the concept of "dwarf", and yet as usual these completely work and are really cool.
