Coolest Fictional Alien Race

[irani_che]

Time lords

No comparison

 

[Scorpianhead]

The Tau from warhammer 40k.For the greater good and all that good stuff they talk about.

 

[irani_che]

I choose these bad boys...

Elites rule <3

I saw ur pic amd immediately thought 'toss

cause you "elites" are their "standards"

 

[jacx]

rigley the alien dragon from metroid

 

[FexusMaximus]

Looking at my avatar, you might think 'Nidz, but I actually like Zerg more.

As of finishing Crysis II, I'm suprised I haven't seen anyone say Ceph...I thought they were pretty cool myself.

These guys. It's hard to beat something that's a perfect hunting and killing machine.

Naw, it's rather easy . . . just ask one of these bad-asses:

 

[Azrael the Cat]

The Many, from System Shock 2 (hive-mind parastic alien race that spreads via fungal infection and takes over the host, but with a Gaia-like state of consciousness whereby they are trying to free humanity from war and turmoil, while still retaining a sense of identity within the 'collective'. Like a cross between the Borg and the necromorphs from Dead Space, except with a much more sympathetic point of view. It's the spiritual predecessor of Bioshock, but much harder, MUCH scarier and with much more developed rpg aspects - separate skill and tech trees, play as a science/repair-based techie character or a psi-ops as well as shooter builds. Like Bioshock it has kind of a pseudo-intellectual slant to it, in SS2 it's about individualism (in the form of the villain AI SHODAN from the previous game returning) vs collectivism (in term of the game's other villain, The Many).

How has no one said Time Lords yet? D:

Spoiler

I'm sorry.

That doesn't look like an alien to me.

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

Yea seriously... two hearts... from galifray... Able to regenerate whole body... Able to share all experience with another person by bumping heads... ABLE to literally "see" time... you sir need to watch some more WHO...

This, this, and more this. In the words of the Doctor, "ALLONS Y!"

T'au, or the Eldar (WH40K)

 

[SNIPERFOX ft. Harry P.Ness]

Krogan. nuff' said.

 

[LandoCristo]

The vortigaunts. I feel like there's not enough info on the Combine to really choose them as the coolest, but the Vorts, they're just cool.



Or the Zerg. Freaking Mutalisks have got to be my favorite unit in any RPG (besides maybe Flame-tanks from CnC3)

 

[andy25100]

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.

technically zerg are a rip off of tyranids as they were properly first introduced with space hulk in 1989 and even referenced throughout 40k's history before then, the zerg showed up in starcraft 6 years later in 1995, i'll leave the rest to you, also there are flying tyranids that are called gargoyles.

Spoiler

and i'll go for cthulhu as he is an alien, unless my copy of the necronomicom is wrong.

 

[The_Yeti]

/slap, For the Overmind.

 

[Crazy_Dude]

The Zerg

 

[Verlander]

I love angry robot/cyborg unstoppable aliens

Spoiler: Rather like these

 

[micky]

the Irken empire! they are so awesome and hilarious.

 

[Guffe]

The Orks from Warcraft III no doubt, coolest thing ever.

 

[Ixnay1111]

Zerg are over rated, go Protoss. Also the Tau from Warhammer 40k...

 

[captaincabbage]

I'm gonna go with Timelords. It's pretty self-explanatory really.

 

[guntotingtomcat]

Not technically alien, but
the
spice
must
flow.

Also, I know people on this site don't really like Halo, but I like the elites.
