Nope, I did not create that name. I believe ChordSector did.

As for the alien idea, that would be interesting.... as long as they landed on Earth a LONG, LONG time ago, not recently. That would explain why they're so suited to Antarctic customs.

How about having them be mainly silicon-based instead of carbon-based? (I would imagine their bodies adjusted to carbon-based organic material over the years.) If their brains operated like silicon computer chips, that would explain their high intelligence.
