Species: Silapace
Homeplanet: Speluniferous
Life-Span: 2000-2050
Habitat: Forests, Plains, Jungles, Wetlands
Diet: Herbivores
Breeding: Sexual Reproduction
Sexual Dimorphism: Males tend to be silvery metallic, while females are golden metallic. Kids are born with their colours, though genetic mutations with their colours have been known, but these are very rare.
Behaviour/Bio: The silapace is known for being one of the most successful trading plants in the galaxy, and their specie is known for being drowned in riches. However, unlike other races that show off their wealth in obvious ways, the silapaces are known to be down to earth. They are rather chill farmers who pull off a lot of hard work, mostly due to their background.
Their planet is filled with rich soil and minerals, causing a lot of vegetation to grow decently fast and large, whether that be trees, vegetables or fruits. The silapaces evolved to harvest these sources of food and material, their bendable sharp wires perfect for cutting and cleaning the flora around them, and their tusk-like appendages used to dig up the ground, especially when dealing with roots.
They even evolved to hibernate on command, allowing members to sleep through the waiting period for their plants to grow. This also means they reserve a lot of energy easily and thus don’t need to overeat their harvests. So, when they began making connections to the outside world, they were open to trading due to how many resources they had. Their easy-going nature made them easy to make deals with and willing to be reasonable.
They also make a lot of money due to their shedding, as this species will keep growing until the end of their days, becoming too big for their bones to handle. The metal they shed from their body is highly durable, and many species are eager to buy it. However, as their income grew, along with more people wanting their shells and metal skins, they started investing their money in security measures, including bodyguards and mercenaries. It’s not uncommon to see other aliens working on this planet.
To this day, they are still one of the most successful trading groups in the galaxy, and somehow haven’t had the money get to their heads, many hardly using it to buy big mansions and trophies, preferring to live that farming life style. A lot of family businesses can be found around the planet, and even with a decent tech level, they have been able to keep their environment clean and healthy.
Abilities:
Wires - Seeping out of openings in their shells, the silapaces have wire appendages they use for both protecting themselves and doing work. These wires can act as limbs, but due to how sharp and quick they are, they can easily cut through things, a clean cut at that.
Metallic Shell/Skin - While the insides of them are relativliy normal organs, their outside shell and skin are made of a naturally growing metal. This material is high durable and sturdy, being hard to break through and allows them to tank alot, like an oncoming truck. They can also tuck into the shell for added protection, including their wires.
Tusks - They have tusk like pieces on their faces, often used for digging or cutting up stuff, along with being useful when ramming into something. They are mostly used for working, but can be handy in a fight.
Deep Sleep - In just a few seconds, any member they fall asleep within a blink of the eye with ease. A part of their brain is aware of how much time is passing to allow them to wake up by choice, even if some members have been known to sleep for a couple of months.
Heavy Set - The older a member is, the bigger and heavier they are, though even children are known to be a decent weight. It makes it hard to move them by force, and they can use their weight to benefit them in certain situations.
Weaknesses: Due to how heavy they are, they are unable to swim, and it is not recommend for them to step on unstable grounds, making it easy enough for them to be stuck. While the wires can grow back, it will take time if someone is to break them off, or they shed. Big enough wounds or cracks on their shell and skin can not regenerate. They are very slow, and require time to get to places.

New comic I was working on. Basically for the Kevin Joins AU (which I really need a proper name for, might use the title of the prequel fic I’m writing currently but we’ll see) Kevin and Ben will sometimes do “Tag In’s” where after figuring out that Kevin can absorb alien powers, Kevin would sometimes either high five Ben’s alien form or just randomly shout “Tag In!” And just smack the alien’s back and absorb the energy.
Then there’s the times Ben wouldn’t get the right alien and Kevin just can’t help but find Ben’s disappointment hilarious. Especially when it’s Grey Matter. Kevin never “Tags In” with Grey Matter.

Finally got around to making Jay Tennyson's first playlist groupshot! These aliens have come a long way from being creations during my teen years, so young me would have been very happy to see this.
Also, for the record, these aren't size accurate lol. Some a close, but in order to make them all fit I just kind of squished them together until they fit. So don't take these as being how big they are compared to Jay. But enjoy! 💚
