I will accept suggestions for consideration in the comments, but bear in mind I generally restrict my blog topics to sci-fi works I am familiar with.
Without further adieu...

Oct 3
Tholian (Star Trek)
Sixties effects, but...
Quintessential example
Of silicon life

Plant-animal blend
But sends seeds to new planets?

Cartoon peril, yes
But lots of eyes, just two legs.
A bit top-heavy.
Oct 6
Chryssalid (XCOM: Enemy Unknown)
Giant bugs are cool
But the zombie element?
Done to death so much.

Varren (Mass Effect)
Alien dog-fish
Neat, but a tad generic
Domesticable!

Just what's he made of?
And just what does this guy eat?
So many questions...
Oct 30
