Shimrod-

I'm with you! How about some creatures with foot-long eyestalks, antennas, and razor sharp incisors?

I suppose on a planet such as Mercury they would be restricted to the narrow band between where it's unbearably hot and where it's unbearable cold. Anyone have a clue how Mercury rotates? Is it tilted on its axis? Is its orbit symetrical with regard to the sun?
