Clearly, he must have flown to this savegame planet in another save. It's possible, after all. You can do anything but world-wrecking things to other saves. You can't reduce the planet's T-score or grav-wave it, but you can go laser happy or kidnap a bunch of things.
Or the game just decided to spawn the creature randomly, unlikely though it might be. A similar thing happened to me once when I went into tribal stage. Around... a quarter of the nests were occupied by the previous versions of my species. A bit odd to say the least.
It's helped in Tribal by the fact that only about half a dozen species are spawned per Tribal. It happened to me on my first playthrough, though not to that extent IIRC.
And if you look at the screenshot in question, it identifies the planet as "Afiengan" or something like that, not Slendermints.
Anyways, let's get to figuring out what we're doing please!
Current votes:
Closer to the ground, better feet.
Codename: "Snickerdoodle"
Higher above the ground, must be able to reach all the fruit. Less pastry, more lovecraft. Better feet would be good too, need more speed to avoid things. We should wait for the 2nd tier wings before adding flight. We should upgrade both our socializing and murder capabilities. If we have leftover DNA, let's get some more health.

I fixed hat for you. I agree with the rest of your non-typoed post.
Snickerdoodle is a fine name.
I say more tentacles, bigger fists, and an emphasis upon more fighting power as opposed to socialization. That said, I don't mind a bit more socialization, but we must be able compete with our enemies...
...Third arm on our back...Better attacky bits are definitively a priority though. Oh, and change our colour so that we have a crispy, golden underside...
The legs were an evolutionary blunder, they must evolve into wings, wings must be odd in number, obviously. And we need an arm on our underside!

Really helpful. I'll try to distill the suggestions:
General Priorities:
1. Reduce Pastry levels. (Y:1 N:2)
2. Increase "Lovecraft" levels. (Y:2 N:0)
-2a. More tentacles. (Y:1 N:0)
3. Upgrade both Social and Combat skills ~= (Y:1 N:2)
4. Focus more on increasing Combat skills. (Y:2 N:0)
Specific Bits:
5. Improve the feet. (Y:1 N:0)
6. If possible, increase health. (Y:1 N:0)
7. Add a third arm. (Y:3 N:0)
-7a. Add a third arm on our backs. (Y:1 N:2)
-7b. Add a third arm on our bellies. (Y:2 N:1)
8. Turn legs into wings. (Y:2 N:1)
Cosmetics:
9. Move the creature closer to the ground. (Y:0* N:1]
10. Name the creature "Snickerdoodle." (Y:2 N:1)
11. Move the creature farther from the ground. (Y:1 N:0*)
12. Bigger Fists (Y:1 N:0)
*Not really sure what Nerjin wants with these.
As you can see, there's not much consensus. Half a dozen people are voting, the only idea with even half of them agreeing is "Add a Third Arm"--and they're divided on where. So, here's how this will go:
1. No more major suggestions, please. We're spending enough DNA already. (Little things, like recommending what parts to add or bickering about patterns or something, is still allowed.)
2. Any suggestions with more "No"s (or implied "No"s) than "Yes"s will be eliminated, which means that 1, 3, 7a, and 9 are out.
3. Vote on the remainder. To summarize, they are:
1. Increase "Lovecraft" Level
2. Add Tentacles
3. Prioritize Combat Skills over Social Skills, but not entirely
4. Improve the Feet
5. If possible, improve Health
6. Add a 3rd arm on belly
7. Turn Legs into Wings
8. Name the Creature "Snickerdoodle"
9. Move the Creature Farther from the Ground
10. Increase Fist Size
4. To encourage more discussion of other's ideas in the future, the current votes (those listed two spoilers up) will be
added to the ones gathered now. This means you can vote twice on the same issue!
5. Once we have votes in, ideas with more "Ayes" than "Nays" will be implemented if possible.
Sound good?
(I'd also like to note that we already have 3 legs.)
