Thousands of species of Real Life organism move by walking, swimming, or flying with wings. Most Speculative Fiction species do the same. But whether to showcase the physical demands of a creature's unusual habitat, to prove it can be done, or merely to make them stand out in a crowd, writers sometimes dream up truly weird ways for their creations to get from point A to point B. Wheels are a common example, possibly for the sheer absurdity of the image. Subtrope of Bizarre Alien Biology. Supertrope of Heli Critter. Examples of Bizarre Alien Locomotion include:

(Bending those laws is acceptable, however.) Bizarre technological methods of locomotion belong under the various vehicular tropes. Subtrope of Bizarre Alien Biology. Supertrope of Heli Critter.
