What honorific do you give a creature? A genderless monster, an it/its critter? Neither sir nor ma'am.
Thing?

they/them/moo where "moo" stands in for "you" or where it's funny, like "how are moo today, Lupi?" or "dancing with mooself"

"the honourable..." or perhaps even "the dishonourable...", to taste
I think it would be culture-specific. A different species wouldn't necessarily use anything a human would recognize as relevant for an honorific.
Are you asking this for a story? It could probably be whatever you want that makes sense within the context of your story if so.
It's just something I've been thinking about. Yinglets are a sexually dimorphic species and they do use gendered language. But when I'm scavbrained, my wording for when I'm a yinglet, I don't feel like I'm any gender and they/them doesn't quite hit the mark as far as how I feel.
I guess it's something I have to determine on a case by case basis
I don't know what a Yinglet is (an original species of yours I assume? I browsed your prior posts briefly for some context but I didn't see anything), though I will say that this is the type of thing you could have a lot of fun with, because I did notice you like pokemon, and I've thought about this sort of thing in the context of how they would interact with each other from a hierarchical perspective.
I have trouble explaining this, except in terms of example, but imagine there's a species, for example the genasi from Dungeons and Dragons, that identify primarily as their element, even if they're also sexually dimorphic. "Your breeziness", "Hottest flame", etc (except perhaps less stupid sounding). The honorifics are based on attributes they have totally outside of what a reader would consider conventional, and it could even extend to something as basic as pronouns if you wanted (whe, ehe, fhe, and ahe, for wind, earth, fire, and water, though again, I just pulled this out of my ass as I was writing this and I put no effort into thinking about the diction or the linguistics).
...I'm losing the bead on my point, I feel. Yeah, it is case-by-case, like you said, but there's a ton of room for expressing the feel of your world via playing with linguistics your characters use. The thing that sucks is that if it's TOO different, it can become genuinely difficult for readers to follow, if you're not explicitly able to explain what's going on to them, and even if you do. (I feel like the Artemis Fowl series of books does this well.) This is why Isekais are popular, I suppose; it gives you the reasonable opportunity to explicitly tell what's going on to both a character and the reader simultaneously. I know everyone says "show, don't tell" but it CAN be the correct narrative tool sometimes to just tell, if it aids understanding and it helps you get closer to the actual point you want to express.
Thank you for the advice and your thoughts. It's very helpful!
As for yinglets, they are actually a fictional race from the webcomic Out of Placers. It's a fun comic with very strong world building. It's worth a read!
Good to know! I'll add it to the list of stuff I'll read, eventually, hopefully. I love works with an emphasis on worldbuilding.
