Neon alien… good name for a punk band.

Groovy rainbow alien… good name for what was going on in my head during most of the 70’s.

Dark alien… good name for a sci-fi television series.

Instead of making up funny captions, I could tell you about this alien species.

Ha… space alien! They are called the XXo, which is pronounced: zho- with a soft ‘zh’ sound, and a hard ‘o’. You sort of have to make a buzzing sound for the ‘zh’ part.

Humans often call them the ‘Giant Broccoli’, because they do look a little like really big broccoli, except they have tentacles instead of littlerplant nubs. They are big, standing more than eight feet tall, not including the tentacles. They can stand upright on either set of tentacles. In fact, they are a rarity of nature, being symmetrical not only side to side, but top to bottom as well.

Their eyes form a belt around their waists, or midpoints, or the middle of their torsos, or whatever, interspersed with small, vertical mouth slits.  They can see in any and all directions, and use any of their mouths to speak with.

You don’t want to make one angry.

There is the original picture I did of a Xxo in Photoshop.
