So the book I’m thinking of used the deathworld concept with humans being the first sentient species found on a category 12 deathworld. Earth joined a galactic aliance of some sort with about 25 other species. The only other species I remember was a jellyfish like thing that changed colour as body language. After discovering life on a category 10+ world the alliance started looking for life on other death worlds, after about 1 1/2 years they found another planet. During first contact 1 member of all species went to the planet, they decided to leave the human on the ship to not scare the new species, but when all the other delegates ran back into the ship immediately the human went out and met the new species which from my memory was a water based dragon. That’s as much as I can remember but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I might be mixing this next part with a different story so take it with a grain of salt but I remember that maybe another human like species was found but they were like uncanny, pale dry skin that looked like a mask etc.

Man, needing this thread is dumb. Anyways, I'm looking for a story that haf the pverarching theme of oredator and prey dynamic. It described how most races either wiped out their predators or made deals with them, but now one of the predatory races (the only one maybe) attacks earth and slowly learns that humans are a little different. We fight back more and they struggle with earth life forms like sharks, because apparently they're used to predatory monopoly. It's not Nature of Predators. Read it a while ago multi part series. Real interesting with it's dynamics and it's less overt and extreme than some others. Would greatly appreciate it, thanks!

A story in which a alien otter goes to an university and become friends with other aliens and a human, there's a scene in which her dad calls and she and the human are on the shoulders of the other aliens and it's the weekend, she tells her father that they are heading to school and they are going to be late

Hello, french reader here, sry for my spelling, i would like to find a story about the human mind, in this story, the human mind is protected by guardians 3 or 4, they were relentless to keep out the invaders of the mind, and the last one welcome the intruder and explain why human don't have psychics power, because their (?) soul has everythings and anythings that exist, like a prison, that why God and satan exist because they escape, moral of the story, don't search the human mind.
thanks you kind stranger
