I like the ones in Mass Effect that say their emotions before they speak. "With Confusion: I though you knew." Big, clunky things.

Thats the elcor.


OT:Quarians. I actually made a long and complex universe where spec ops soldiers similarly clad like the quarians were the best of the best fighting force, and i included every, book, game, and movie in that universe and called my people the watchers or something like that.

ORKS take a close second, i love their technology.

The Gnaar from any Serious Sam game (but most noteworthy in SS3 for their epic redesigning)

http://gamenode.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/gnaar-620x.jpg

What's their history? Hell if i know.
Their goal? Hell if i know.
Their beliefs, philosophies, or outlooks? Hell if i know.

What do i know?

I know that they are the most goddamn satisfying enemies to shoot in any shooter i have ever played. Ever.

There isn't a single thing I dislike about the Gnaar. They don't need to be deep characters with a history and political views. They're deep as a puddle and more fun to fight than any other enemy I can think of in any game, hands down.

I think I can honestly say that sci-fi is my favorite genre, something about the concept of exploring planets other than this one is just exciting. But easily one of the most appealing aspects of space are the aliens, intelligent beings that aren't Human and can really spice things up. So what's your favorite alien race? I know what mine is.

The Sangheili/Elites from Halo. No one kicks ass and takes names quite like they do. I don't know, maybe it's the fact that they really earn the name Elite in combat, maybe it's that they have kickass energy swords, whatever it is, they are badass.

So what about you? What's your favorite alien race?
That's mine too, heil the might of the HOLY SANGHEILI!!

It's nice to see a human who appreciates true evolutionary greatness.

EDIT:

Huh, I'm actually a bit dissapointed with this post.

[HEADING=1]SANGHEILI!!!! BOW BEFORE YOUR MASTERS, WORTHLESS APES!![/HEADING]

The asari. A race of all female beauties. And they're blue. Blue is good. They also have biotic powers. I hear those can enhance sexual pleasure. Not to mention the 1000 years lifespan. You find one that is 100 years old and for the rest of your life she looks just as young as she was when you first met her. I wish the asari were real.

The Salarians are pretty damn cool.
Grunts from Halo too. I love those little guys. I just wish they'd stop BOMBARDING ME WITH EXPLOSIVES ALL OF THE TIME.
But then again, that's probably what I'd do if I was a soldier in a war against giant super soldiers. I'd find the biggest gun I could find and hope for the best.

I'm loving all of the StarCon2 references, my personal favorites were the Thraddash!

Belligerent cigar smoking rhinoceros men so ultra-violent they basically nuked themselves in to the stoneage every time they developed a cultural distinction

Whats not to love?

Every race from Mass Effect. The xenomorphs and predators. Vortigaunts. And the Gallifreyans.

Zerg, no doubt.
Terrifying alien monsters with a personality.
They're not just the evil monsters you have to overcome trope.

I am utterly shocked no one has specifically mentioned the Krogans yet. How many other alien races have been mentioned to have a quad?

Although, I am going to also have to echo the Vortigaunts. Their shift from subjugated foot soldier to valued ally between both games was pretty cool.
