Plausible species are always better, for me. But others have this need to make things radically different... "Alright! Its blood is liquid iron! Its body is made of silicon! It lives in a neutron star!" That's hyperbole, but anyway things like biochemistry have reallly very little flexibility. I do this all the time on forums, moaning away.
