Just imagine a lizardmen race somewhere out there in the Sirius system.
Do you think these lizardmen do also craft pots???
Or furry creatures on a forest-planet. Something like Wookies or Ewoks.
Do you think they're into pottery???
And what about the slime blobs of Sigma Epsilon XIV???
They have no arms, but are just giant, intelligent amoebas. Will they be able to craft useful stuff???
