b. So completely different that you might not even realize exactly what they were in the beginning.

I’m going with ‘a’.

It would depend on what the makeup of their planet was and how they evolved. I’m sure there’s a way to try to figure something like that out, but I sure don’t know.

Which ones are you talking about. Space is a very big place.

Well it depends, if life can only be supported through Earth-like conditions they would have to bear at least some similarity if not to humans than to animals. If their planet has vastly different environmental conditions but has the ability to evolve life somehow, then no. If they come from a different UNIVERSE however…

I think it depends on their home. If they’re from a planet like ours, I imagine that they wouldn’t look too different from our animals (humans or non-humans). If they’re from a different kind of planet all together that can still sustain life, I guess they would look however they need to in order to live on that planet, whether it be a planet made up of completely different gases, different terrain, etc.
