The large amount of heat energy on their planet makes most traditional organic molecules quickly break down. Thus, different processes are used. The Orcubor are very cool compared to their environment. All life on the planet is like this. The hostile planet has a thick atmosphere, which is the only reason any liquid silicon dioxide can exist on it at all. All life forms, save for extremophiles, take advantage of the fast winds of Gohbrin by possessing large heat-sinks on their bodies. The heat is radiated away, allowing them to maintain an internal temperature which allows for aluminum-based chemistry to be possible.
