Isn't this that decade old copypasta?
One of the greatest stories I've ever read. If you love a psychoanalytical story or supernatural fiction, give it a go!
I actually think I've figured this out but would love to hear yalls thoughts here too. At first I was against the idea of writing a character smarter than myself since it was a rather intimidating idea. I had seen and read terrible smart characters which felt omnipotent and made nearly no sense to me. On the other hand I read characters who were just genuinely well written and smart and I couldn't realise why. Recently I came to the conclusion that the answer is simpler than I thought. Not just that it's a rather universal feeling. The feeling of being unable to express an idea you know well but can't seem to explain out loud. All you need for a smart character is perfect recall. To remember everything all the time. Not knowing, not deducing, remembering and communicating.

I cannot recommend this enough. Magical realism is one of my favourite genres and ggm is perhaps the best writer of the genre ever

This is one of those stories I always forget I've read, funnily enough somehow just doesn't stick (although I do like it every time)

Just houseplants whenever they speak. If that bothers you, you can torture them until they obey all you say

I would suggest fleshing out what your planet is before focusing on your creatures. That would give you a base to build upon. It would be a much much more natural way to go about this.
You will find the previously mentioned documentary very helpful to do this.

For more specific answers take a look at individual animals.
You could have dragons that glide with their skin flaps like flying squirrels instead of actually flying.
Burrowing dragons as I mentioned taking inspiration from the biology of badgers.
Dragons like tree frogs and chameleons with the ability to camouflage and have sticky pads on their feet.
Ice dragons with thick layers of fat. White scales for camouflage and countercurrent heat exchange system for the cold climate. Hey maybe you could have cuddling dragons.
I'd say have variations in sizes and environments. Some could reproduce like elephants and once in a long time and are going extinct. Others could be pests essentially. There is a lot of room for the differences you want.
With the whole alien element you could also add genetic influence. Maybe add genetic or tech enhancements that changed them.
From a world building perspective I'd suggest adding like evolutionary history. Maybe finding cave paintings or fossils.
Also there's a documentary I'd like to recommend called 'Alien Worlds' which explores how life would evolve on different planets and it would be VERY VERY useful to you I believe.

Well for starters I'd suggest utilising geography. Using your topology to create differences will make a richer and more natural world. Your creatures should make sense in their environment and not be there in spite of it.
Is it a specie that's in the dessert? Well take inspiration from desert animals and give it those traits, sand resistance, burrowing behaviour. A dragon that uses claws to dig itself dens. Being nocturnal. Specialised eyes.
Maybe one that's on a marsh like topology. There you could have webbed claws for swimming. Water resistance and maybe have a powerful tail to help swim.
