After looking at it again, we could do just as much with the Mycolith thing as we could with the Goomba, as in the huge size change from humans, I think change from the normal stereotypical Trek aliens would be interesting, since we always complain about them.
Re: DITL Species 12 - Looks
If Mycoloth wins is everyone fine with the name Mycoloth or would you all perfer something else?
How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

Re: DITL Species 12 - Looks
Besides - I really don't want to end up using an Earth term for "fungus" making up a part of the name for a completely alien species. That's almost as bad as naming an alien empire after a hero from Roman mythology.
Oh, wait...
Oh, wait...

Okay, okay, no Roman names.
So how about the Boadecian Star Alliance?

Re: DITL Species 12 - Looks
Why does it even need to have 'star' in it? Star Empire sounds lame anyway.

OK, one person got it. Thanks, Lazar.
It doesn't. My reference was that using a name for our race with "myco-" in it is as absurd as having the Romulan Star Empire, "Romulus" being a reference to Earth mythology.Monroe wrote:Why does it even need to have 'star' in it? Star Empire sounds lame anyway.
