That was really intresting, but i have some questions. Where the metal comes from? what are their tools made of? Do they build houses? Do they need to sleep?
The metal comes from the core and basically works its way up the food chain. Kind of like that volcano slugs on Earth that incorporate iron into their skin, the animals on this planet do something similar, so the Aijes are able to "mine" metal from animals in their environment Their tools are mostly made from metal and bone The Pastoralists are able to make pretty traditional houses on the floating rainforests and the Walking Spirits can build simple dwellings on the side of the giant animals they travel with, but the Storm Mages don't really have anywhere to build, so they're much more nomadic And yes, they do need sleep -- they sleep the same way that dolphins do, where just enough of their brain stays fully awake as to not swim their way into imminent danger Hope that all makes sense, thanks for commenting!
@@joaobaka8404 I might recommend Alien Biospheres by Biblaridion - It serves as a sort of biology crash course for people interested in spec evo, since it talks about a lot of Earth based biology as points of comparison. Regardless, I'd suggest just researching some biology, especially the base principles, and just seeing what you can build from what you know. Have fun with it! Even if your work isn't "100% accurate," I mean... No one's is. This is all fictional, at the end of the day, even with how much work some people put into making their stuff biologically plausible.

Although it’s probably a very annoying trope within sci-fi world building, I’d honestly love to see their reaction to meeting humans. They are so used to colossal beings, that meeting a race of what would appear to be sapient parasites sounds like it would be very interesting.
The only conflict that could erupt during first contact would be space resources such as asteroids. Theoretically the Aije could make sterile gas giants habitable for themselves, and because they couldn’t survive on an Earth like body, a trade deal would be the most beneficial for both parties.
@@HYDROCARBON_XDit's not an actual liquid the deeper atmospheric layers are so dense that the gas behaves like a liquid so the oceans would still be unliveable to them.🙄
@@HYDROCARBON_XD Also, most Gas Giants tend to be made of Hydrogen or Helium. The liquid is most likely hydrogen (Although Ice giants do exist, Uranus might infact have a water ocean, but this is due to pressure). Unless tfus (CHUS) is somehow an exotic gas giant that is made primarily of nitrogen or oxygen, water is most likely incompatible with Aije biology.
That's exactly why I made them so big lol, I realized that all my aliens (while still being different sizes) are mostly in the same size range. So I wanted to go with a really crazy extreme on this one

@@damirdanko9859 well I still gotta make part two of this species, but after that I've got some ideas for a sapient hive mind and I've also been wanting to remake some of the earlier episodes in this series
I love aliens that come from Gas Giants, the untapped potential of a world with no land and sea is so unused in sci-fi media. I will be watching this short series with great interest! 👽❤
I really loved this video, I never expected a gas giant video, and was astounded. Though i really wonder how the Aije managed to start the industrial revolution due to the lack of information on it. I hope it gets brought up in pt2!
This is so cool. I've always been super interested about life evolving on a gas giant. It seems as natual to me as life evolving on an ocean world except with more upper potential due to the size, comparative lack of pressure, increased light and ease of travel. So glad to see some leviathans too can't wait to see how they travel through space.
I like the idea of plant life also as; as the atmosphere gets denser the plants could look like strange mushrooms or pyramids as the grow through different layers
Imagine if those guys, the Aije, actually make videos about what would life look like on a solid planet, and theorise about creatures named “humans” who live on “land” with “two flat eyes”
"These are bigger than you expect" Oh, of course! They live on a gas giant. They aren't gonna be man sized, more like elephant sized or something. "Twice the size of a blue whale" OH
This is super cool! I'm actually developing my own story about a human colony on a gas giant, so I may use this as a reference for creating my own unique biosphere. I already came up with similar ideas like floating vegetation islands (except mine are closer to siphonophores, giant floating gas bags with overgrowth thick enough to allow construction of human habitats), and large whale-like creatures hunted for resources like natural oils and rubber, among other things.
words cannot express how amazing this video was, at least to me, MOAR representation for life in gas giants, within sci-fi. Perhaps even fantasy to a degree too! You have done very well with no less than a sapient species with a badass martial arts that literally let them wield lightning.
@@Cree8Ball absolutely no problem man, I just love how the pastoralists were the first to discover near-modern medical practices on top of being able to see their organs in perfect detail without X-rays (or an equivalent). I have to ask how you came about this race? Do you go into greater detail regarding how life might evolve or even live in such turbulent, crushing worlds? I wonder how an organism might perpetually fly without getting tired. Heh- curse being a land-based organism, even if such life isn't possible- I love the concept regardless. Definitely will use this as a reference point for how I might go about making my own "gas giant" life. Also, how does the "land" of the pastoralists' turf even stay aloft? Oh- and wouldn't the crushing depths of deeper areas of a gas giant not really allow titanic life forms? How might they even make structures to live in, unless they just live in not-too-well-defined wall borders? Sorry I asked a hefty bit, I just genuinely like to think about truly alien concepts that challenge our perception instead of sticking to the same tiresome tropes of humanoids. lol
@@fref7938 I'm not a scientist, so my answers won't be backed by any scientific understanding, but I'll tell you what my half-informed thought process was while writing Basically everything we learn about in this video takes place in a part of the atmosphere that is basically liquid, since the gravity has condensed the air. So they aren't "flying," they're swimming and floating, which is how they don't get tired -- it's the same way most fish are able to float forever and sleep while they float. And the floating forests are like the globs of floating seaweed you may find in the ocean, rather than giant trees or chunks of rock, like the image I used kind of implies And the giant animals are able to live at deeper depths, because the density of the atmosphere cushions them, kinda. It supports their weight, the way water supports a blue whale's weight (at least that what I think might maybe could possibly happen)
This is such an awesome idea. I wish there were more shows and comics centred around realistic space travel, so much potential for cool stories and settings. Many story writers assume that life can't evolve on gas giants, which is sad because its such a good concept, even if it's a little unrealistic.
Yeah, there's a lot of people, even just in these comments, that are willing to toss the idea away entirely (and I probably just made it easier for them to do so with how over the top I made the animals of tfus) but I think it's a cool setting that should be explored a little more than it usually is
Holy shit, not gonna lie, your channel is one fresh breath of air in alien design and spec evo, compared to the oversaturated ones in most pop media if I may be honest, awesome! If I may ask, how did life came to be in the gas giant? As in, I'm curious on how did life emerged in the first place. How do they deal with the ionizing of the star? How do you even evolve anti-lightning armor?
I've always been fascinated by the concept of gas giant megafauna, and are seriously underutilized in fiction. In my sci fi setting, the main faction names their ships after them just like how we have jet aircraft named after falcons, eagles and raptors.
Man I love this, I’m about to start writing a sci-fi book focusing on military and space exploration, and I’ve thought about using creatures born from gas giants, it’s just such a untapped area/topic.
I can't way for the epic final chapter when all of the species of these videos have to team up and form an interplanetary coalition against the greatest enemy they'll ever face... The Neo-Humans
This is so cool! I have a similar creature in my world-building project. I use the Japanese flying squid, which uses water jets to fly like a jet fighter. Your idea really resonates with me🔥🔥
To my understanding, tentacles don't really have the right nerves for tasks like surgery. You would need jointed opposable thumbs for that. It's not impossible, though, and I do like the creature's design.
The political allegory to the modern human history is fascinating. I'm not entirely sure what some of it is, or what's intentional, but I am very invested. The part about those who domesticated other animals being aggressor seemed particularly apt. I look forward to more! 🙌
Probably one of the more solid concepts for a gas planet sophont that I've seen. The idea that they wouldnt know what space is makes sense and is a really nice cultural touch Large creatures in speculative biology normally indicate a high oxygen content due to the energy demand for that size. Are there ever natural fires or explosions on this world? Also how exactly do they speak?
@@Cree8Ball i always like alien ecosystems and origin stories that actually feels completed and not just a story some guy made in 5 mins so he can focus on the stellaris gameplay like you actually made a good explaination on how their life is like and how their civilization work and not just the generic spear throwing your way to the top of the food chain and then "oh wow they can travel through space now" type of story
This makes me think of so many other alien life forms that could exist.. could you imagine an alien species that lives on its own star? What about an alien species that’s planet orbits a black hole? Could an alien species that is constantly in a gaseous state exist? It’s so interesting.
@@Cree8Ball I bet if they had eyes similar to humans, they’d look into space, and make religions that worship the giant black circle with an accretion disk that their planet/moon orbits. I would say that their planet may actually be affected by time dilation, which is a possibility.. but I doubt that it’d be substantial enough for them to notice that their planet could be affected by time dilation until they discover that black holes affect time. But.. maybe they’d figure that out far before humans do because black holes have a much more visible effect on space around it than the sun/moon does. Maybe they’d be like, “yeah.. I wanna know what’s up with that thing.” Much more than ancient humans did for the moon. Also, the black hole, if it was playing a similar role as our sun, would have to spin to have an accretion disk.
I always liked the Cheelas from 'Dragons Egg'. Neutron star based life forms... just cool. They had to develop a black hole technologie before they could leave their habitat and explore the universe 😃
this is a really cool world. I wanna ask about plants though. how do they work? I know you mentioned a lot about algae. but does that mean there are no vascular plants to grow tall? and how do they survive in the air without soil? I can see them fixing nitrogen from the atmosphere using bacteria since many earth plants can do that, but how would they get the necessary minerals and metals like phosphorus and potassium?
What I would love to see is a speculative evolution world that has creatures with a sort of biological jet engine. Of course there are the methods of traveling through the aether that we all know about like using your wings and floating in the air with large sacks of hydrogen or methane gas or a combination of the two. but I want more exotic forms of propulsion. In the book Expedition by Wayne Barlow we get a flying creature called a Skewer. It is the apex predator of the sky; swooping down at high speeds to impale its prey on a large skewer-like proboscis. It’s propelled through the air not by wings or sacks of gas like a blimp but instead by a sort of biological jet engine. One that takes in methane from the creature’s metabolism and oxygen from the atmosphere and combusts them to produce thrust that propels the creature at fast speeds. Such a creature would make a great apex predator in the skies over a gas giant or low gravity planet. There could perhaps be several methods of propulsion and flight in such a world; as flight on our world has evolved several times by many independent clades. What method of propulsion and flight would depend on the animal’s niche. Phototrophic creatures wouldn’t really need to move and would just hover with sacks of hydrogen or some other buoyant gas. Whereas the gas giant equivalent to herbivores would use a combination of buoyant gases and flapping some sort of wing surface to fly through the air. Lastly the most complex animals would use this sort of biological jet propulsion to speedily fly through the air.
Just like other, I luv it n i have questions :D Why does anything grow bones in a floating terrain where you've gotta be full of gas to be able to float? Also, how are floating forests not blown apart by the wind? Are the high-atmosphere winds more moderate like... those of Jupiter's?
I can only imagine them coming across a now much stronger and wide spreading humanity on some sort of gas giant colony before being invaded and slaughtered for there large amount of metals
That's all very fascinating, but I don't really get how an aerial body of liquid is even possible. I mean, we got the "flying river" phenomenon in the Amazon forest, but you don't see the local fauna swimming on water vapor.
Considering how absolutely humongous a jovian planet is, all three of these societies could exist inside a single storm lasting a millennia. Then all being ripped to shreds when the storm collapses.
This pretty amazing. It'll be cool if you could do a version of this with the liquid metalic hydrogen core most gast giants are supected to have. This two part series could be more focused on Ice giants(Neptune and Uranus) which are thought to have a sold core/surface.
That was really intresting, but i have some questions. Where the metal comes from? what are their tools made of? Do they build houses? Do they need to sleep?
The metal comes from the core and basically works its way up the food chain. Kind of like that volcano slugs on Earth that incorporate iron into their skin, the animals on this planet do something similar, so the Aijes are able to "mine" metal from animals in their environment

And yes, they do need sleep -- they sleep the same way that dolphins do, where just enough of their brain stays fully awake as to not swim their way into imminent danger
Hope that all makes sense, thanks for commenting!

The black hole species is own that I will probably make a video on at some point and I am very excited about it
@@Cree8Ball I bet if they had eyes similar to humans, they’d look into space, and make religions that worship the giant black circle with an accretion disk that their planet/moon orbits. I would say that their planet may actually be affected by time dilation, which is a possibility.. but I doubt that it’d be substantial enough for them to notice that their planet could be affected by time dilation until they discover that black holes affect time. But.. maybe they’d figure that out far before humans do because black holes have a much more visible effect on space around it than the sun/moon does. Maybe they’d be like, “yeah.. I wanna know what’s up with that thing.” Much more than ancient humans did for the moon. Also, the black hole, if it was playing a similar role as our sun, would have to spin to have an accretion disk.
I always liked the Cheelas from 'Dragons Egg'. Neutron star based life forms... just cool. They had to develop a black hole technologie before they could leave their habitat and explore the universe 😃
"could you imagine an alien species that lives on its own star?"
Pyronites be like
this is a really cool world. I wanna ask about plants though. how do they work? I know you mentioned a lot about algae. but does that mean there are no vascular plants to grow tall? and how do they survive in the air without soil? I can see them fixing nitrogen from the atmosphere using bacteria since many earth plants can do that, but how would they get the necessary minerals and metals like phosphorus and potassium?
IM SO HOOKED
Cant wait for the second part
What I would love to see is a speculative evolution world that has creatures with a sort of biological jet engine. Of course there are the methods of traveling through the aether that we all know about like using your wings and floating in the air with large sacks of hydrogen or methane gas or a combination of the two. but I want more exotic forms of propulsion. In the book Expedition by Wayne Barlow we get a flying creature called a Skewer. It is the apex predator of the sky; swooping down at high speeds to impale its prey on a large skewer-like proboscis. It’s propelled through the air not by wings or sacks of gas like a blimp but instead by a sort of biological jet engine. One that takes in methane from the creature’s metabolism and oxygen from the atmosphere and combusts them to produce thrust that propels the creature at fast speeds. Such a creature would make a great apex predator in the skies over a gas giant or low gravity planet. There could perhaps be several methods of propulsion and flight in such a world; as flight on our world has evolved several times by many independent clades. What method of propulsion and flight would depend on the animal’s niche. Phototrophic creatures wouldn’t really need to move and would just hover with sacks of hydrogen or some other buoyant gas. Whereas the gas giant equivalent to herbivores would use a combination of buoyant gases and flapping some sort of wing surface to fly through the air. Lastly the most complex animals would use this sort of biological jet propulsion to speedily fly through the air.
Sees "Giant Aliens" in the title:
**Angel Attack intensifies**
Just like other, I luv it n i have questions :D
Why does anything grow bones in a floating terrain where you've gotta be full of gas to be able to float?
Also, how are floating forests not blown apart by the wind? Are the high-atmosphere winds more moderate like... those of Jupiter's?
Storm mages are a reference to Avatar (Lightning Bending) and A song of ice and fire (House Baratheon / Durrandon Antlers)
@@ebugogo291 they are a reference to Avatar, but I was completely unaware of the Durrandon Antlers, so that much was accidental lol
I really wish you would make a size chart comparing the size of humans, animals and even buildings to the inhabitants of this planet
@@Funnyso869 i have a size chart at the end of both videos that compares them to the size of humans and all the other aliens in the series
I can only imagine them coming across a now much stronger and wide spreading humanity on some sort of gas giant colony before being invaded and slaughtered for there large amount of metals
That's all very fascinating, but I don't really get how an aerial body of liquid is even possible. I mean, we got the "flying river" phenomenon in the Amazon forest, but you don't see the local fauna swimming on water vapor.
Considering how absolutely humongous a jovian planet is, all three of these societies could exist inside a single storm lasting a millennia. Then all being ripped to shreds when the storm collapses.
12:02 this is giving me a Homeworld vibe.
This pretty amazing. It'll be cool if you could do a version of this with the liquid metalic hydrogen core most gast giants are supected to have. This two part series could be more focused on Ice giants(Neptune and Uranus) which are thought to have a sold core/surface.
Oh yeah, I didn't really think about that distinction, but your right t|us would have to be an ice giant
Now thats incredible(ly gassy!)! Good job!
This is the type of video I pay my internet for.
We got lightning bender squids before GTA 6
We truly live in a society
Super cool!
Thank you! I'm glad you like it!
very big creatures and stuff
I AM HOOKED!
Im Going To Catch Some Fish🐟
I highly recommend the ian m banks novel "the algebraist" which has sapient gas giant dwellers not dissimilar to yours!
MOUNTAIN GOATS SOLIDARITY FOREVER REFERENCE
Space age let's gooooooooooo!
I think maybe you should try and create a species that lives in the MHD core of a gas giant (search menexenes orions arm)
Really should try
It would be interesting
I hope part 2 will have them interact with the other aliens you've worldbuilded. Maybe even humans too maybe?
Ah yes, the true sign of sapient lufe: racism
Especially racism between races that are nearly visibly indistinguishable
Imagine exploring this gas giant as a human from the future
That'd be pretty cool, but I'm pretty sure a person would die instantly 😂
