Coolest Fictional Alien Race

[Spineyguy]

Either the tenticles:

Weren't the Tentacles something the Doctor 'whipped up' in his spare time?

The tenticles featured in a very obscure game in 1993 by lucasarts. It was an early Tim Shafer game, before he found fame with psychonauts. And the tenticle was one of the most ascerbic, cynical, villainous entities I had ever come across at this point.

Look up 'Day of the Tenticle' and you'll see what I mean.

Come on H.R.Gigers Xenomorphs are the among the greatist artist creations in movies. They realy show Gigers style of machine mixing with lifeforms. Superbly disturbed artist and wonderful creation which since the first Alien made me say "i wound not like to be Ripley".

True but they aren't really that up-to-date in the tech side of things. Plus, with a little bit of brain power, they could be defeated rather easily.

How has no one said Time Lords yet? D:

[Verbage]

I'll see your Supreme hunter Xenomorphs and Predetors, your swarming Flood and Zerg, Your sophisticated Protoss and Drej.... and i will raise you... the TIME LORDS!!!


(hon mention to the Irkens and the Furlings (SG1 FTW))

(oh snap got beaten by a post... )

 

[white_salad]

time to go on a limb of awesome originality!

aka, I've seen most of my favorite races ninja'd, so i'll just have to go with something different ><

Phyrexians! But, seeing as they're basicly mechanical zombies that convert other races into their race, that might rule them out. As such, bring forth the almighty Eldrazi ><

Besides... Would you mess with something like that?

This a millions times. Hooray for Emrakul, The Aeons Torn!

Sayians, they can shoot laser out their hands, are stupidly fast and strong and have tails.

I'm sorry.

That doesn't look like an alien to me.

 

[similar.squirrel]

Thank you. I had been trying to figure out what that film was called for several years. Now to find a stream.

OT: Salarians, followed by the Tau.

 

[Nouw]

I vote for the Predators, fucking badasses they are.

You're kidding right?

 

[Scars Unseen]

I can't think of anything off the top of my head, but I fairly certain that to find the coolest fictional alien race I would have to reference porn.

 

[deckai]

All my favorites are already mentioned, but the Moorwen are one of the lesser known Alien races, that I like. (Origins: Movie, Outlander(2008))

 

[Casual Shinji]

Hurray for the Oni.

 

[c_westerman13]

how can it possibly be anything other than:

Spoiler: Starts again tonight!!

the time lords!!

 

[Maphysto]

Not nearly enough Lovecraft in this thread.

The Mi-go will put your brain in a jar and take you to Pluto.
The Great Race of Yith will body-swap with you to learn about your culture.
The people of K'n-yan will torture you in horrible ways and reanimate your corpse as a deathless slave.
And the Shoggoths will nom you.

 

[The Funslinger]

either the Predators, the Xenomorphs or Sanghelli (Halo's Elites.)

Scratch that, Time Lords ftw.

 

[DeathStreamer]

Zerg, indefinitely. FOR THE SWAAAAARM!

Tryanids, the far cooler version of zerg. FOR THE OVERMIND!!!

That or the Combine. I'd join.

Pfft, Tyranids, are just a rip off of the zerg. It was my first thought when I saw them (mainly HUNDREDS of them). Zerg came first, zerg are cooler, zerg are evolved, some can fly , but most of all, ZERG ARE INFINITE. The only other candidates are Predators, Xenomorphs or Protoss.

Well, you gotta love dat Asari ass.

"But, you look human!"
"No, you look Timelord, we were here first!"

 

[Dwachak]

I would say Quarians, but do they even qualify? They are basically as close to humans as you can get mentally, and their social structure is what humans would use where we screwed over by our own creations... so.. well I don't really know. Not enough into sifi to know that many.
