This is how I handle extrapolative biology. I look for something similar to start with, if anything relevant can be found. I try to imagine the details as precisely as possible. I look for potential conflicts and consider how to resolve them. I aim for something both plausible and appealing. And I try to follow natural rules such as "use what you have" and "whatever will do the job is okay." Usually I end up with functional monsters, aliens, etc. The original tutorial was aiming for angel but I never think of them as exclusively corporeal, so mine can do things like adjust the size of their wings.
