Sci-Fi Illustrated Book of Alien Planets and Creatures?

August 9, 2013 9:33 PM

When I was a kid, I had an illustrated sci-fi book that was basically a catalog of alien planets and their exotic animal life-forms. I was able to find it on the internet again a few years ago, but have since forgotten the title. Illustrations I remember from the book: a red alien cat-like creature; a slab of rock with eyes and bloody fangs. Things I remember about the book when I looked it up recently: it was listed as a non-canonical book in another series, and was intended as a handbook for a fictional trade/commerce federation. What is this book?

I was about to suggest Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestrials, which is also great.
