Titanaids
Titanaids are the only known form of extraterrestrial life, and are found on Saturn’s largest moon Titan. These creatures are the intelligent, multicellular beings, and were discovered in the year 2100.

Background
Titanaids are an alien species that inhabit the moon Titan. Named after its home and its appearance, this species is evolved to live in the liquid methane lakes of Titan. This alien species is anthropomorphic, and is similar in appearance to the mythical creatures known as mermaids. The Titanaids have existed for well over 2 million years, and developed from small single cellular organisms that were present on Titan at its creation.

Discovery
This species was discovered in the year 2100 by the NASA drone Cessari IV. All previous drones sent to Titan had lost contact with NASA upon entering its atmosphere. This drone however, was equipped with protective casing, stealth power cells, and cameras, to provide scientists and researchers with an answer to the mysterious disappearances. After entering the innermost atmospheric level of Titan, the drone broadcasted footage of the moon, and reached the methane lakes that had never been discovered. When underwater, the drone showed odd formations of rock, and after reaching the deepest caverns, it recorded footage of a life form that had never been seen. The drone was abruptly interrupted, and lost all contact with earth. In the years to come, NASA organized manned missions to Titan to try to make contact with this new species of extraterrestrial life.

Anatomy and Biology
Titanaids have an anatomy that is similar to humans, but with some major changes in its organs. Titanaids have a central heart, which pumps blood throughout its body, in the same way a human heart does. Titanaids also have organs related to the breakdown of food, because they do not need to consume anything to create energy. They get their energy from the sun’s radiation, and it can be stored in their brains. The Titanaid brain is larger than that of a human, but has the same functions and abilities. The Titanaid’s lungs are very unique, and are made up of two separate types of lungs. They have one set of lungs, which are connected to their mouth, and allow them to breathe any form of air safely. The second pair of lungs are connected to their gills, and allow them to breathe any form of liquids safely. These lungs make this species very adaptable, and it makes it possible for the Titanaids to live on earth. The Titanaid’s external features include a long aerodynamic tail, which allows them to efficiently move through the water, and head shaped like a hammerhead shark’s, which allows them to see clearly while in the water. Other features include gills, long arms, webbed hands, dorsal fins, and scales.

Communication and Interaction
The Titanaids have evolved so that they have the ability to understand what someone is saying, and although they have their own language, they are able to convert to speaking languages spoken on earth. The Titanaids are a very dependent species, meaning they are easily manipulated. When they were brought to earth, they were used as slaves, because they thought themselves inferior to human beings.

Technology
On the moon Titan, there is no need for technology, and because they live underwater, the Titanaids only need to have very basic tools used to create places to live. Because the Titanaids don’t need food, they only need to create homes. Titanaids rest at all possible times, and this gets rid of the need for entertainment. The Titanaids use only that which they need, and have no forms of technology.

Titanopolis
The Titanaids are very drawn to each other, and find strength in numbers. The Titanaids build their cities deep in the lakes of their home moon. The cities are built into the rocks that make up the lake’s floors. The largest city that the Titanaids have created is their capital, Titanopolis, where their leaders convene to make decisions that affect the whole species.
