Post your ideas and suggestions so we can pull from them for future challenges!

Reading a book about Character Design, i found a chapter about aliens, and some question about his planets/enviroment and solar system.
That questions can be asked to give ideas of what type of creature can live or survive there.
"Ask about habitat for inhumanity:
1. type of sun the world revolves around(if there is indeed a sun for the home)
2. Number of suns the world has and their types
3. Size of planet
4. Existence or nonexistence of solid surface
5. Crust(earth component) and its composition and quantily and stability
6. Moons, rings, and other planetary accouterments
7. Atmosphere (or lack of) and type of gases available
8. Liquid components of environment (lakes, oceans, rivers) and what the liquid consists of
9. Temperature range (surface, atmosphere, night/day)
10. Volcanism
11. Weather
12. Seasons
13. Orbital period and eccentricities in same
14. Plate tectonics
15. Atmospheric winds and their frequency, velocity, and so on.
16. Age of the world and its status within a solar system.
17. Rogue worlds that have no attached sun or other physical "systems"
18. Distance from center of galaxy, or position with star clusters or other types of multistar systems, or completely separate from any star system
19. Stellar neighborhood issues (gas or dust clouds, comets, asteroids/meteors, radiation, gamma ray bursts)
20. gravitational field (pull) of the planet
21. Atmospheric density
22. Rotational period of planet

About creature:
1. Core Structure: organic/inorganic
2. locomotion
3. habitat
4. Food (animal, vegetebla, or mineral)
5. Attack/defense modes
6. Sentience
7. Reproduction
8. Culture"

Heres a few Ideas i'm thinking about for future projects.

1. Bio-transports. Huge creatures that are grown and modified to be used as "vehicles"
- ex. Flying cloud whales with walkable areas inside their bodies and transparent membranes for outside viewing; Gigantic crystaline butterfly with structures grown within them like living compartments; Mountain sized lion turtles with forests growing on their backs... etc.

2. A Fan interpretation of the classical monsters
- EX. Dracula; Wolfman; creature from the black lagoon, swamp thing; frankenstein.

3. Zombified animals. Take any animal and rot and mangle it up.
- EX. Bear zombie; kitten zombie; Unicorn Zombie

4. Creatures that could belong on a planet from the Starwars Universe.
- Ex. Naboo cow things; or the Creatures from episode 2 in the arena.

I really dig the first two ideas
And I've been thinking too. We already did pokemon redesign, I think that maybe we could use another challenge of redesign, like digimon have very cool concepts, and monster rancher :P, or even redesing some creatures from games, like lineage II / WOW / Aion

ps: I think even with the extra time I wont make it this round again xD damn

I was thinking that maybe there could be a collaboration between CharacterForge and Creature Planets. First, a challenge on CharacterForge to make a hero of our own and after it finishes, a challenge on Creature Planets to make a villain for someone else's hero.

make our own powerful demon or monster or beast or creature.. any thing which have never seen before in any movies. Try to create something unseen powerful demon or monster or beast or creature
