Astro-Quest

Join the online astrobiology contest. Astrobiology is the art of making up a creature that can live in a theorised planet. Make an alien for one of the listed environments. Think of what it eats, how it survives, and why is it different than life on Earth. Remember, it doesn't have to be biological, as long as it is practical. I will post my own creatures as well. Simply explain your alien, make a picture, and E-mail it to me so I may post it.
                                                          The Planets:
Planet A: A gas giant with 45 times Earths gravity. Mainly consists of methane and water, and has an icy core. The average temperature is -210 degrees Fahrenheit.
