Mush'ka

Description:

This alien species I envision living on a planet that lies on the outer edge of its star's habitable zone and therefore mostly covered in ice. All six digits all hands and feet end in claws to grip on slippery surfaces. This is also added by hair on their palms and soles. Instead of jaws, the Mush'ka have a barbed proboscis for pumping digestive fluids into frozen flesh and sucking up the liquified meat. These kinds of drawings are practice on scientific illustrations, showing the specimen and notable characteristics of them.
