The Milky Way is full of rocky planets that are located in the habitable zone.

The problem with the search for intelligent lifeforms near the red dwarfs is that the conditions of those planets are so stable that the evolution would not start to favor intelligence in place of creating a large number of descendants. That means that the flare eruptions of red dwarfs that are making the dayside hostile to lifeforms would not enough for making the evolution favor the advantage of intelligence.

The extinctions on Earth have caused that evolution has been favored intelligent species. The fast-chancing climate has caused that the species must start to search for their food from new places, and in that kind of operation, big brains are necessary. The dinosaurs were idiots if we compare them to us, Homo Sapiens. But we are not always thinking that the dinosaurs were the result of the long evolution.

And if the meteorite would not on the Yucatan at the end of the Permian period there is the possibility that some of those reptilians would advance to the level of mankind. The extinction of the dinosaurs turned the road of evolution and open the arena for mammals. But some theorists are saying that if the dinosaurs would have time, the dominant species would look different than Homo Sapiens. So if we are thinking that mass extinction on Earth, we must remember that it was not a unique case in the history of Earth. The series of extinctions and catastrophes formed the evolution and species on Earth.

And if we are thinking about the evolution on other planets, it should follow a similar road as on Earth for forming intelligent species. So we should search the marks of cosmic catastrophes if we want to find intelligent species. And that means we are not alone. If the favorable road for the advance of the species has been found, and the star what that planet orbit lives enough long life, there is the possibility that the species on some exoplanet can form the civilization. But before that, it must solve its internal conflicts or it will make suicide. And if the civilization would pass the test, it would reach the Kardashev's scale in its technological advantage.

The lifeforms that are living on those planets might live at the night side of it. The monsoon winds would blow across its surface and stabilize temperature. But life on that kind of planet could be so extreme, that we cannot even imagine it. If we are thinking about the life and distance of the planets from their sun, there is the possibility that a large water mass of the planet would cool its surface and make the cloud-layer in its atmosphere.

If we are thinking about habitable planets the nearest planet, what might be habitable is locating near Proxima Centauri. The red dwarf orbiters are probably one of the best targets for colonies because there is not probably a very advanced life form. But otherwise, red dwarfs are long-living stars, and the evolution on those planets has more time to advance than on Earth, and maybe those hypothetical aliens have sense, what helps them predict the eruption of the Red Dwarf.

Or maybe they are living at the nightside of the locked planet. The red dwarf orbiters must have a quite large mass because otherwise, the star would pull their atmosphere away. So if those hypothetical aliens would live at the nightside of those planets, they would have large eyes and white skin, because they don't need the pigment.

The red dwarf could give a stable and suitable energy source for those aliens because it can give the solar power and during the flare eruptions those stars would heat the dayside. The powerful winds would blow across the planet's surface, and that allows those aliens to use also wind power. But as we know that thing is purely a hypothesis.

The red dwarfs are so extreme a piece of the universe, that we cannot even imagine the things, that we could find from the planets that are orbiting yellow stars like our Sun. On those planets would live more human-like creatures than on the planets of red dwarfs.
