Are aliens slimy?

All aliens are coated in a viscous gel-like fluid. The compounds vary from life form to life form. There is only one type of alien that doesn't have a slimy layer AMD that's the Negaslimoids of Sector 6,899,765B-Area 232ç

Well I have a small number of theories on what and how aliens will work on a biological level.
This may take several posts.

Firstly you need you focus on the planet its self. If the planet has smaller desnity than earth and has less than 1G then they will be significantly weaker. Their muscles and bones will be weaker than ours.
If the planet is denser and has more than 1G then they will most likely be stronger than humans.
Our planets gravitatonal pull is quite strong considering it harbors life. Any stronger and rocket propelled space traveled would be nearly impossible.
For xenos to be able to travel in space they would either be weaker and use rockets or stronger and have more advanced tech.

This paragraph is hard to word and difficult to explain in text.

there was a bustling martian civilisation a billion years ago but because of seismic volcano activity it was swallowed up by the crust and what we get is what we see today

>1G is the gravitatonal pull that earth has. Mars is around 0.8G for comparison.

Xenos will follow one of several survival tactics.

One of these is expance.
Humans follow this survival plan, we expand and claim land at a fast rate. We then hunker down and fortify our land. From farmland to territory, we move in and claim an area. Our wars have revolved around this, useing forts, trenches and durable weaponry like tanks. Tactics like hold the line define us.
In addition to this, our bodies also follow this rule. We are very durable and can travel huge distances and adapt to most environments. We scar and can survive huge wounds, take a beating and weather most disasters and ill's.

If aliens are similar then they will most likely have large muscle mass while still being lithe. They will have endoskellontons and be built yo take damage.
Their weaponry will be much like ours, heavy hitting and focusing on either hard hitting range or CQC.
They will be large in number and work well together but not be like a hive mind.

The next path of evolution/survival path is a hive mind.

This is obviously insect like and will work like ants, following a queen or leader of some kind. Chances are they will be very primative and heavily focus on surving in their set environment.
A similar tactic of claiming an area and building it up will be how they live.

The final one is the apex path. Aliens that follow this will most likely be primal and nomadic. Traveling in groups or packs, war and fights being common with aggresive behaviour. They may be swift and smart or brutish and powerfull. But one thing will always be the same.
That is for a species to rise to the top, they need to be smart, co-ordinated and unrivaled in power. Humans rose to the top through intelligence and persistance, claiming the earth and turning it into a olace to suit our needs.
If xenos follow the same path then they will be very similar to us.

We must assume they will put their own before us, excell in one or more area above the rest of their planet.

>> No.8649442

>>8649423
Finally is what traits they have.

If they have evolved from carnivores then hightened senses, aggresive behaviour and bodies build for killing should be expected.
If herbivores then expect highly defensive bodies with thick skin or very fast creatures.
Omnivores are a wild card. Can include a mixture of both.

Anyway enough sperging out to the zero anons reading this. Hope it was at least mildly interesting.

Fun fact:
Worker ants are always sterile females.
All male ants only exist to mate with the queen.
