Shadowing

If you've been following the recent discussions on quogwinkles, portals and dimensions, and especially if you're a fan of the 40K game world, you might well like Just_Me's most recent post on minor aliens at Bell of Lost Souls, this time the Umbra.

By another coincidence there's currently a follow-up post on alien physiology at the top of Science In My Fiction, written by Juliette Wade of TalktoYoUniverse.

Barking Alien also posted recently on the difference between an alien and a monster. This was a discussion I enjoyed very much, even if we do disagree a little; perhaps more so for it. I'll be pondering the ideas at any rate, and you can make up your own minds.
