Bizarre Alien Senses	comment	One way to make an alien creature seem bizarre to human audiences is to have it detect the world around it with a different array of biological senses than us. Often they're depicted as using sensory mechanisms found in other Earth species, such as echolocation, thermographic vision, or sensitivity to electrical impulses or vibrations. More rarely, writers will equip aliens with biological versions of radar or other technological sensors, or they'll invent senses that discern esoteric forces such as psychic energy. Senses that are found in we humans are often absent or much-reduced in beings equipped with bizarre alien senses. On film, this trope may be depicted with Point of View shots using image-distorting or false-color effects. Most commonly seen in Science Fiction, but occasionally in Xenofiction or other Speculative Fiction genres. A subtrope of Bizarre Alien Biology, and supertrope to Mysterious Animal Senses. Frequently correlated with Eyeless Face. Contrast Blindfolded Vision, in which someone denied their normal eyesight relies on other sensory modes, or Super-Senses, when normal human senses are enhanced. Commonly found in The Morlocks as well as aliens. May permit the perception of a Fictional Color. For a different sort of alien feeling, see Inhuman Emotion. This often turns up with the Sense-Impaired Monster when it has unusual senses such as echolocation or thermoreception to make for missing mundane ones. When the bizarreness applies to the way the alien communicates, it's Starfish Language. Contrast Unexpectedly Human Perception.

The fic's entirely from their perspective, so various aspects of this are explored, such as how they see wayward bits of their soul as light (the horns of demigods created by their power glow to their vision because of this), and they see the Queen's shadows as a garbled mix of colours that hurts to look at for too long. They also don't have any real sense of day vs. night, so instead of 24-hour periods, they think in 20-hour periods.

Which would make them an effective predator, except this is apparently their only sense; anyone able to overcome their fear becomes effectively invisiblenote Not to mention the trouble they should have in simply navigating the terrain.

They communicate through "altering," too. While humans generate patterns of sounds, progenitors alter existing background noise and it's how they alter those sounds that determines meaning. This phenomenon is called "Resonance" in the game. This is a gameplay element, as well; you cannot communicate with either Progenitor faction until you've successfully researched how to manipulate these fields.

Golems, or at least Mr. Pump, are sensitive to something called "Karmic Signature", which Pump did not see fit to explain. They can also detect one another "singing" underground, through thousands of feet of soil. Angua's sense of smell when in her wolf shape verges on this trope, and she's usually forced to draw analogies to colors and sounds in her efforts to convey what it's like to non-werewolves. Inverted in Moving Pictures, when Gaspode complains about what a shock it was when his Holy Wood-induced newfound intelligence caused him to have dreams in color.

The brain cells involved are present in humans but do not function. The story centers around a man who is temporarily given the ability to use this sense to experience the electromagnetic equivalent of a musical performance, but the process eventually kills the cells, depriving him of the secret sense permanently.

When she contacts the human protagonists, she messes with them by claiming that all Alternians share her abilities. Doc Scratch, an immortal being with a large cue ball for a head, lacks any kind of typical sensory organs, and some of his comments imply that he lacks traditional senses at all — at least, he doesn't have what humans would think of as sight. Instead, he relies on his omniscience, which allows him to possess faultless knowledge of his environment's contents, appearance and behavior without using physical senses to derive it.

And even then it's blurred out enough they can only clearly see celestial objects and annie plants (which create and "burn" neutronium, the densest possible form of matter), the latter of which they usually crush on sight to take out whoever's using it.

In the second book, this almost gets Kaladin killed in his first fight with Szeth. He lets his windsense guide his strikes, only to be taken completely off guard when Szeth easily counters his move. This implies that the Windrunner Honorblade that Szeth is using grants this same ability—or maybe Szeth is just that good. A few in the third book, Oathbringer: Lift can apparently smell when someone has visited the Nightwatcher. Syl is surprised to discover that she can sense when a highstorm is coming, even when it's still days off. When Kaladin was in the warcamps, she didn't need to exercise this ability since there were always lists of when the next few storms would be. Shallan and Renarin can both feel Re-Shephir somewhere deep in the tower, long before they actually find her. Due to her connection to Lightweaving and the fact that Dalinar couldn't sense her, it's possible that their power over the Surge of Illumination granted them this ability.

Bizarre Alien Senses / int_6ac55ec7	comment	A common one in Dungeons & Dragons is darkvision, the ability to see without any light. Earlier editions used vision that extended into the infrared or ultraviolet spectra instead. More exotic senses include blindsense (many forms, including echolocation), the much more precise blindsight, tremorsense (feeling vibrations in the ground), mindsight (detecting self-aware beings), lifesense...

His species developed this ability to avoid some predators that are basically otherwise invisible and intangible. It's later revealed that this sensitivity to curvatures in space also allows them to sense the curvature of time; while most species experience time through a single, eternal now, the Rhinn perceive a broader "window" of several milliseconds simultaneously — their incredible reflexes are due to their perceiving events that, from the point of view of others, are still slightly in the future.

Bizarre Alien Senses / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: The Doctor has some kind of "Time Sense" relating to whether or not an event is irrevocably supposed to happen. He has also been shown to be able to slow down his own perception of time. In addition to that, he can taste and smell a host of things that humans can't, such as the blood group in a sample of blood and how old an object is. "The Sontaran Stratagem"/"The Poison Sky": The Doctor can tell that Martha has been swapped out with an evil clone because of minor details no-one else can notice — a "reduced iris contraction" and a "slight thinning of the hair follicles on the left temple". He can also smell the presumably very slight odour from the goo the clone was initially covered in. Time Lords have also shown a heightened sensitivity to gravity; in "Kill the Moon" the Doctor immediately realizes that the Moon has far more gravity than it should, and in "The Magician's Apprentice" both the Doctor and Missy know that they are on a planet instead of a space station because they can tell that the gravity is natural instead of artificial. A human variant is shown in "Before the Flood", when Cass, who is deaf, touches the floor and feels the vibrations of the axe which Mason's ghost is dragging towards her. The shapes of floor, walls, and the axe head are traced out in spreading bright lines across a black background.

Bizarre Alien Senses / int_de8ae019	comment	The Slan in Star Carrier: Deep Space see almost exclusively by echolocation. (They do have light-detecting organs, but they can only detect it: they can't really interpret it the way smarter Earth animals do.) This proves a disadvantage during space combat: hull breaches mean air leaks out of the ship, meaning the Slan can't see or communicate. It also means that they don't really understand the concept of "space". It took them a really long time to find out about the existence of stars, and only when they built photosensitive devices that translate visual images into understandable sounds. Despite being a space-faring race, they still perceive space as a really-really big cave with a few habitable "islands" (i.e. planets) scattered in it. They don't quite understand the technology they use, implying that someone gave it to them. When they first meet a human female face-to-face (sort of), their captain tries to use echolocation to figure out human organs. He's confused why the human sound-emitting organ (mouth) doesn't have the same flexibility as the Slan equivalents. He tries to find the sound-receiving organs and, ignoring the ears, settles on boobs (also noting they're not very flexible). When contacting Grey, the Slan captain assumes that Grey is blind because he lacks the "sound-receiving organs".

Syl is surprised to discover that she can sense when a highstorm is coming, even when it's still days off. When Kaladin was in the warcamps, she didn't need to exercise this ability since there were always lists of when the next few storms would be. Shallan and Renarin can both feel Re-Shephir somewhere deep in the tower, long before they actually find her. Due to her connection to Lightweaving and the fact that Dalinar couldn't sense her, it's possible that their power over the Surge of Illumination granted them this ability.

Bizarre Alien Senses / int_e5fd2cef	comment	The Rigellians in the Lensman books use a bizarre sense that gives a worldview much like the best solid-modeling programs. They can even see things like the innermost components of shielded power reactors. The flip side of this is that they rely exclusively on that sense and lack both sight and hearing. In consequence, it's sheer torture for other species to spend time in their cities, because their cars have no windows, their buildings have no sources of light and they make no attempt whatsoever to avoid loud noises... a visit to Rigel therefore involves a great deal of sitting around in the dark being startled by loud bangs, screams and howls of various kinds.

Bizarre Alien Senses / int_e60d3d7a	comment	Predator: The title aliens have near-infrared vision. This is depicted onscreen by coloring what they see based on the temperature of objects: black = cold, white = hot, and other colors in between. The first movie shows that their helmet visor filters some of the ambient heat to better focus on warm preys. In the sequels, video games, and spin-off films, even this is thrown for a loop. When the Predators have reason to believe humans are using their vision's weaknesses against them, they reveal that their helmets have technology in them that gives them ''further'' forms of vision, such as sonar, backscatter x-ray, and some kind of metal detection. Given the characterization that Predators tend to receive, it rarely feels as arbitrary as it sounds.
