Quick Answers

What are some examples of sentient non-humanoid species? toggle section
Non-humanoid aliens, or sentient non-humanoid species, are lifeforms lacking humanoid traits. Examples include the Abronian, Allasomorph, Ariolo, Armus (Vagran creation), Ba'Neth, Calamarain, and Chandran. These species might possess the ability to assume humanoid form. Communication between humanoids and non-humanoids is typically more complex due to the absence of a common reference point.

What is the difference between corporeal and non-corporeal non-humanoid species? toggle section
Corporeal non-humanoid species, often composed of coherent gas or energy, absorb environmental energy directly. They typically bypass technology use, relying on inherent physiological capabilities. Some even transcend the need for sustenance, controlling space and time. Non-corporeal non-humanoid species, alternatively, lack a corporeal form but might assume a physical form. They manifest in various forms, including space-dwelling, multispectrum particle, and electromagnetic lifeforms.
