Personally, I like the idea of some sort of fuzzy subterranean gremlins from Mars.
Elon arrives and they prank him to death.

I really recommend watching Scavengers Reign for anyone who finds this type of thing interesting! I guess it's probably not scientifically accurate from a speculative evolution point of view, but wow the level of thought and detail put into the alien ecosystem is mind blowing. Really beautiful show.
The tiny guy in the anemone was my favorite.
that show has a weird "biology is magic" thing that vandameer has.
Also it has life cycles that make no sense, like parasites that can live in any species, gestating acid bomb clones instead of pollen, etc. neat show tho
the clone thing is so wild. Like how much energy and mass would be needed to do that when you could just evolve seeds with prickles.
Another gripe I have is how quickly they utilized the local flora/fauna for things. It took generations of humans to figure out what mushrooms wouldn't kill you, or what bark would slightly alleviate inflammation. These motherfuckers are using a land skate as a gas mask after being there a quarter.
I thought of a neat way to hand wave all that tho. A throwaway line about how the planet was a dumping ground for bio weapons. It would provide an explanation for everything.
