I suspect nearly all the heptapods on earth will be be echinoderms (sea stars, sea urchins, sea lilies), as these are the only animals with pentamerism (5-limbs), so likely would be the only ones with seven.
Why are there no 3 legged animals?
Why is it rare? Because only species with radial symmetry can be 3-legged, and when you are radially symmetrical, having only 3 legs seems a bit minimal - more is more useful, generally. Vertebrate animals are bilaterally symmetrical - that means their limbs grow in pairs.
What animal has only one leg?
A uniped (from Latin uni- "one" and ped- "foot") is a person or creature with only one foot and one leg, as contrasted with a biped (two legs) and a quadruped (four legs).
