How do we make them feel and act more alien, /vp/?
These disgusting abominations just need to be deleted and retconned out of the world entirely.
When all we had to go off of Xurkitree's design was this image, I thought it had 3 legs, not two legs and a tail. I sort of thought that it would run like a four-legged animal, with it using two legs in the back and one in the front, which would've looked really weird. I also thought that its copper hands would spin.
Give them more plot relevance, don't just say "oh no people are in danger, you have to help," SHOW that. They showed Team Galactic blow up that lake, they showed Team Plasma freeze over Opelucid, I'm sure they can show an alien invasion.
At least it's basically confirmed they'll have over-world models this time. Watch Celesteela and Guzzlord be way too tiny though.

To expand upon Xurkitree a little more, because he has a lot of potential to be even weirder/creepier;
>make xurkitree use electroreception: the ability to sense things around it by electricty
>communicates by electrocommunication or flashing the star on its head in a sequence
>give it the sound of constant electricity as it moves, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIkNY5xjy5k
>give it lightning rod as a hidden ability

I honestly just imagine it crawling around on walls like an octopus, stretching and contracting its limbs to pull itself around

Electric is my favorite type, and that nigga somehow still managed to crawl into my top 3. I love all the UBs though.

And yet still better than ultras

Are Celesteela and Xurkitree not doing a good enough job of that?
>>33465793
Give none of them eyes, just slight dents where they would be. Maybe sonar organs or inerred pits.
>>33467936
i mean, you can always make it feel weirder

This. The fact a good amount of UBs have no actual face is the most alien feature about them. Kartana's "face" and Xurkitree/Nihilego's distinct lack of faces make them two of the weirder UBs. I'd count Buzzwole, but it kind of looks like it has a nose and two little eyes.
I was also kind of hoping Guzzlord wouldn't have any kind of face so it could be like a Langolier except in a child's nightmare and drawn with crayons after the memory has faded and become fuzzy.
I almost hope we get another UB in USUM, or at least a better look at Ultra Space. Its a concept I hope gets explored.
