I didn’t want to show a lump of coal for Fan’s prompt today so I had a quick look what carbon could mean otherwise or what collactions exist. I’d never heard of the term “carbon chauvinism” – the believe that every alien life by necessity needs to be carbon based.
I’m not sure what my little alien friend is based on. Energy, possibly.
