The "random alien" rule, intended to prevent creation of unnecessary species, has been in effect for some time now but hasn't been well documented on the wiki.

This article gives the basics of using the "random alien" rule and why it's useful.
 
This suggestion has been implemented. Votes are no longer accepted.
"...cases were you can..." Use where, instead.

"...by simply list your character's..." Use listing, instead.

I like the use of the art!
 
Randos!

Would Nepleslian mutants fall under this category? Always figured they were Nepleslians somewhere in their DNA. ...
 
Mutants can probably just link to the regular species page and add mutant in front of the species name, in most cases.

If they're so weird they're basically an alien, they can totally use this, though.
