For some months, I planned that my next alien species would be a transparent amphibian. Seriously. I thought the idea of being able to see their organs would be a nice visual in a novel. A bit creepy, but also kind of cool.

I say go ahead and use it anyway. Writers often get their inspiration from odd creatures that really exist (well, I do). If nothing else, think of how many altered horses exist in fantasy/sci-fi worlds.

You mean like the aliens in Abyss? Not the water constructs but the actual species. Didn't OSC do the novelization of that?
