Isn't one of the policies not making aliens that look so much like humans though? [quote] 3. Biodiversity is key. It's not terribly likely that you'll will get near-humans unless they're in an environment extremely similar to Earth. Even then, the chance is still quite low. I'm fine with humanoids and bipeds, but I would prefer to stay away from pointy-eared humans unless there is a good reason. On that note, I'm perfectly alright with strange biology, as long as it makes sense. Aliens don't necessarily have to be carbon-based, although that will likely be more prevalent. [/quote] In fairness, maybe it's just a discrepancy in the image and the description as they sound more alien in their description than the pictures linked.
