Creatures would be low lying with perhaps a tendency for cushioning, sea life is less affected and simply adapts to conditions of higher pressure. If the atmosphere is significantly higher pressure far larger flying creatures could evolve.wolram said:
Heavy animals may evolve to avoid predators, flying creatures would need huge wings and high metabolism to fly in the low pressure atmosphere.wolram said:
Life adapts to low moisture conditions, tendency for basking. Plants are few and far between.wolram said:
Combination of slow growing slow metabolises and fast growing predators.wolram said:

I know your joking but this is the exactly type of bizarre illogical plot that is pervasive in Tv and film SF; a super advanced alien race travels lightyears to Earth in interstellar vehicles only to suffer engine failure over Nevada or die because they're allergic to water (and didn't realize the planet they were visiting is covered in it) or some equally banal catastrophe that's intellectually equivalent to an Antarctic exhibition of today forgetting clothes.Office_Shredder said:

The physical appearance of an alien would depend on several factors such as the environment they evolved in, the resources available to them, and their evolutionary history. Other factors like genetics and natural selection would also play a role in their appearance.
It is possible for an alien species to have physical features that are similar to humans, but it is highly unlikely that they would look exactly like us. Evolution on another planet would have followed a different path, resulting in unique physical characteristics.
It is likely that an alien would have some form of sensory organs like eyes, ears, and nose, as these are important for survival and adaptation in any environment. However, the specific features and abilities of these organs would vary greatly depending on the alien's evolutionary history.
It is possible for an alien species to have multiple heads or body parts, as seen in some Earth species like hydra and octopuses. However, this would depend on their evolutionary history and the environment they evolved in.
An alien's body structure could vary greatly and may not necessarily be humanoid like humans. It is possible for them to have a completely different body structure, such as having multiple limbs or a different body symmetry. This would be determined by their evolutionary path and the conditions of their environment.
