Line 124:
** The freaking ''Ocampa''. Lifespan of nine years. Body temperature around 16 degrees Celsius. Can only have one child. When ready to mate, they exude a yellow substance from their hands and must have an hour long foot massage with 50 hours of the substance appearing to enable mating. Give birth standing up, from a sack between their shoulders. While their psychic powers probably helped, one still wonders how a species with such bizarre, not to mention mathematically troublesome, method of reproduction could have come about in the first place.
*** Just to be fair, it was never said that Ocampa can only have one child, just that if they DON'T breed when the first opportunity comes up, they never will.
** The Caretaker, the alien who caused [[Voyager]] to be stuck in the Delta Quadrant, was a large translucent blob.
* In the episode of ''[[Angel]]'' where Fred {{spoiler|has her body usurped by an [[Eldritch Abomination]]}}, she and Wesley spend the first couple of minutes fighting some small gremlin-like monsters, then discussing the creatures' biology. She describes a portion of their reproductive process, which evidently involves crystals, bacteria, and parasitism.
* ''[[Farscape]]'' is, unusually for a TV series, full of truly bizarre aliens (as well as having the usual complement of humanoid and [[Rubber Forehead Aliens]]).
Line 134 ⟶ 135:
*** Humans. Good night.
* The TV version of ''[[Alien Nation (TV series)|Alien Nation]]'' uses this a LOT. EVERY FRACKING EPISODE introduces some new and strange bit of Newcomer biology (including a whole arc about their strange reproductive process).
