It’s so weird that people imagine that space fairing aliens looking like that. Such traits seem like they would be detrimental. Especially those massive eyes, which would probably be extremely light sensitive to the point of being effectively blinded by most light sources, and probably wouldn’t be able to focus light well at all.
i don’t think the gray/green alien design is plausible either (how are you not cold you’re like 1 meter, have 0 fat) but large eyes aren’t necessary impossible, they could have evolved in areas where light is present but very dim or they could be compound eyes.
but yes the alienito design is very silly. i especially like how they seem to never have clothes of any kind, like not even a space suit. my duendes just rawdog 200 million light years of space radiation with no problem
Probably wouldn’t be impossible but I’d imagine a race like that probably wouldn’t have become space fairing, they would’ve continued to live on whatever dark world they lived on, as bright light would be their Achilles heel. It’s also unlikely that with those eyes they would be able to see the fine details in things. So while I don’t doubt those eyes being possible, they wouldn’t be at all beneficial to them as a space fairing or technologically advanced race, it would hinder them greatly.
Also something else I’ve heard which makes it even more absurd is that (sometimes, not always) they’re said to have permeable skin like amphibians, which makes the whole idea of them taking space exposure without any kind of space suit or PPE that much more absurd.
