The Hooloovoo resemble a super-intelligent shade of the colour blue. One was seen in a prism for Zaphod Beeblebrox's address upon stealing the Heart of Gold. On certain special occasions, such as the aforementioned Presidential event, they refract into a free-standing prism.

    Ok, fair enough, I’ll give us one example of being good at it, as the exception that proves the rule.

    I can't find the name of them but in one of the Star Wars novels the Millenium Falcon ends up trapped in some ice caverns and they encounter sentient clouds of gas, methane iirc.

    So we do have some people making up cool aliens.

    Oh, the Pequeninos in Speaker for the Dead. They were sentient humanoid beings that became the trees of their world when they died. There's more to it than that, but that's the gist.
