Over the past few weeks I’ve been working on a new random generator that puts our previous alien name generator to shame. It’s called the Alien Species Generator, and it randomly creates both names and descriptions of alien species.

As with most things at SciFi Ideas, the purpose of the Alien Species Generator is to help science fiction writers come up with new and interesting ideas. It does this by creating random alien species for you to use in your stories. Each alien species has a randomly generated name, home-world name, and description. Descriptions vary greatly and include both randomly selected physical characteristics and societal traits. To increase the number of outcomes that can be produced, I’ve programmed the generator to use components from our existing Alien Name Generator and Star System Name Generator.

Warning: Imagination required. Obviously I haven’t been able to work images into the generator, so a little imagination is required. Also, due to the random way in which the species descriptions are created, some will be much better than others. You may have to cycle through a few before you find something worth using. Like our other generators, simply refresh the page to generate a new alien species.

We hope you find this useful, or at the very least fun.
