Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

Irken Anatomy

Irkens belong to the species Chlorinsectosapiens irkensis. They may be small but technology has made them a force to be reckoned with.

Irkens are pretty similar to humans below the belt, but have a few differences. With the females, they have a vulva with only a pair of outer labia. However, they do have a double clitoris. The vagina and urethra are also in the reverse order from humans from top to bottom. Speaking of bottoms, their anus is a very, very erogeneous zone, having direct nerve connections with the breasts, clitorises, G-spot, urethra, and vagina.

The breasts, just as in humans, produce milk for newborn smeets, which, at approximately five Irken years old, stop suckling.

In males, the penis is retractable and wormlike. It is also highly prehensile. The scrotum can be hidden in an external pouch, like the Terran water oppossum.

The male prostate gland is hidden in the perineum, closer to the testes. This makes it easier to access from the testicles.

Both male and female zygotes are made and replaced over a lifetime, giving them more chances to breed.

Orgasms in this species are violent. Individuals have been known to become paralyzed during their first time having sex.

The Irken menstrual cycle is a very complex affair. Instead of one week in humans, it lasts three weeks average. It also brings frequent urination and diarrhea. Also, the menstrual blood often explodes from the vagina.

The bone structure of Irkens is quite unique. For starters, their bones are not calcium-, but zirconium oxide-based. This makes their bones virtually unbreakable. Their wrists and ankles are also double jointed. Their skeleton can grow very fast, allowing some Irkens to grow quite tall.

No one quite knows what Irken antennae are used for, but they may be used for communication. Non-verbal communicatio is very useful when evading predators. They may also be used in the place of ears.

Though Irkens have antennae, it is quite unlikely that they use them to smell. Rather, they may have smell receptors right where the nose would be on a human.

The way Irkens breathe is unknown. They most definately do not through their eyes; it is likely that Zim, assuming humans to be as alien as possible, made a random assumption. It may be possible that Irkens breathe through microscopic nostrils connected to a large, central lung.

Irken digestion is handled by a unified organ known as a squeedlyspooch, which is a stomach, intestine, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder all rolled into one.

The Irken heart is highly efficient and has 10 chambers: 5 atria, 5 ventricles. It carries blood, which is a translucent pink when oxygenated, purple when not, throughout the body.

The metal object on the Irkens' back is called a PAK. It contains memories, an atmospheric processor, spider legs which can create a jet, and a life clock set for 10 minutes in case the machine falls off. It connects directly to the brainstem, meaning if it is detached, the Irken has 10 minutes to find it and retrieve it or die. It is also in charge of cell replication.

The fact that this is from a TV show aside, they are too humanlike. From the genitals (breasts only evolved in mammals, yet mammals aren't the only groups to take care of their young, and the other privates are also too mammal-like, for example the penis, vagina, g-spot, prostate gland, testicles, etc...) to the head, to the humanoid body plan, etc...

One tip: Hollywood is terrible at making aliens. Practically all of them are humanoid.

Are we REALLY going into this? This is a spec-evo forum, not an extraterrestrial pornography site. And besides, a lot of the specific anatomy here makes assumptions about human anatomy that are just wrong.

Yes we REALLY are Russwallac. Reproduction is part of biology, and posting about it is totally valid in this situation.

Well, last time I checked, Jhonen is either gay or asexual. It's one or the other.

Edited. Don't double post, edit if you forgot something or made a mistake.

I'll leave this up, we've discussed alien penis and girl bits before, though this does seem oddly optimised for sexual pleasure. What purpose does a erotic poop chute serve?

I'm moving it from General to the Habitable Zone as it's about some kind of alien. Are these from a book or game or something, or are they something you came up with yourself? I've never heard of them before.

Just look up Invader Zim and you'll learn all about the MIGHTY IRKEN EMPIRE.

They're off 'Invader Zim'. Personally, I think that us two must be the only people in the universe who don't watch it.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

A possibility to be sure, but it seems more like 15 year old hormones doing their thing to me.
