Incomprehensible Life-Form

This indigenous creature is one of the strangest things I've ever laid eyes on. I don't know where to start. There's a round thing in front, but it's attached to its face, so it's not an egg.

Are those shoes on its feet and a red plate on its back, or are they natural parts of its body? How does something like this creature evolve naturally? This vast old universe of ours never fails to surprise me.
