I looked at it - some interesting similarities and I'd almost
   think it could've been but these are ideas and dreams I started
   having when I was a kid. Probably have to go WAY back in time to
   perhaps a creature from an old Godzilla movie or a low-budget
   sci-fi show that sparked the idea. It's weird because, in my
   mind, I came up with this as a rational answer to how a being
   born in space would behave. [I have a longer biographical sketch
   of these creatures written out in a few places through the years
   with many more details.... ] But I'm wondering if it really
   -was- from within me or if I got it from elsewhere? More and
   more I'm finding things I thought "were my idea" were, in fact
   inspired first by someone else. I'm enjoying the process of
   tracking these little "things I think are me" down to see where
   they come from.
