Hello people of Planet Minecraft. The alien race I created for this skin contest is known as the Filiens (pronounced "Fill-E-N"). The Filiens are a race of aquatic based life forms, totaling about a hundred thousand. Over time though, they have adapted to be able to breath in both water and in the open air. Filiens have many similarities with humans, such as being bipedal and having hair on their head. They can swim at a rate of 500 miles per hour, and swim for about 8 hours without stopping. By then they are hungry and they will feed on some tiny seafood that they wrap in seaweed. In fact, they use seaweed for many things, such as clothes, food, and furniture. They are also a very defensive race. They use cobalt based armor whenever they go to battle. Since it is blue, and their skin color is blue, it can be hard to see them in the water. Nobody has survived more then 1 week on their planet without being killed or taken in as a slave to work their mines or fight in their battles.
