Favorite Alien Race in Sci-Fi

[Venziir]

Well, its sad when I think of all the possible Alien Races. Only one stands out as my Favorite.

They are big green of questionable intelligence. They are a combination of both animal, algae, and Fungus. They reproduce by getting killed in the height of Battle, their blood contains spores which will one day grow to be the next generation. They will grow larger and meaner their whole life until they are killed in Battle. They can build stars-ships, aircraft and other weapons of war. Only none of their technology should work, it is because they have a psychic like ability which empowers their technology. It also causes them to gather together for war under the banner of the Meanest and Largest member of their species.

They also have some funny traits, they love to get drunk, They have two Gods. one is who is brutally kunnin' and the other who is kunninly brutal they usually can not agree as two which is which.

They use teeth as currency, and since they regenerate teeth they can always take their own teeth.

They have several sub-species which grow from the same spore DNA, these are either smaller dummer little guys, two legged biting monsters, or giant pack animals.

Also the Color Red makes things go faster for them.

So can you guess who they are?






Race: Orks
Sci-fi universe: Warhammer 40,000 (WH40k)
Gods: Gork & Mork, or is it Mork & Gork?
Sub-Spieces: Gretchin (goblins), Squigs (nasty mouths on legs), Squiggoths (pack monsters)

You forgot the most pivotal and vital point! WAAAAAGH!

Im quite fond of the lore behind a telepathic race from an old gem of a game called "EV Nova"

The Vell-os are a telepathic race. They were led out to space, united by their telepathic powers by the Indian prince Vell-os in around A.D. 980. The
Vell-os 'ships' are not ships in the common sense. The psionic power of the Vell-os pilot forms the shell of the vessel. The ship is also powered by the pilot's mind, and all defenses come from the pilot. The ship is literally an extension of the pilot within. While the ship does not have very powerful armor, the shields and weapons are some of the most powerful in the game. A single Vell-os Javelin can destroy two Federation destroyers and a carrier with ease.

Theres more but meh ill link Vell-os lore

Dart (above) the 1st you unlock with your powers in the game. Arrow (Under) the 2nd more gunboat based ship you unlock

First 3 aren't Alien races from a Sci-Fi franchise which this thread was supposedly about :P

[Sharde]

pretty much every alien race in warhammer 40k is badass.

but my preference is on swarming hivemindcontrolled hordes. so tyrannides.

and my special love goes to the orks. it's just impossible to not like those guys.

[Deleted]

Orks are badass as well, "orkz iz made for fiting an' wining!". The fact they their psychic abilities are what makes their arsenal work is pretty interesting.

Other than Necrons and Protoss, the predator yautja are another but almost nothing is known about them but they hunt powerful organisms for sport and have some pretty powerful tech.

[Immitis]

Timelords. nuff said

[Deleted]

Elves from LoTR or Night Elves in WoW

[Zethras]

The Zerg and The Protoss.

[BLSTMASTER]

Asgard in SG-1!

I second this. Thor is too awesome

Too bad they are nearly extinct (in that sci-fi universe, of course)

[Dismack]

I would personally go with the Ancients from SG-1, followed closely by the Asgard.

[Immitis]

Elves from LoTR or Night Elves in WoW

night elves arent aliens, there descended from trolls which unless trolls are retconned into aliens are native species along with the tauren.

humans gnomes dwarves all robot/rock/steel aliens cursed to be fleshy

[redruMPanda]

^this is my favorite alien race from Men In Black II
I mean honestly makes me laugh every time. Either him or maybe

[Biggsmack]

They are so ridiculous, and they never die out, yet you can't help but love them.
They are the Daleks from Doctor Who for those who don't know.

As soon as i saw this post Daleks was the first thing to pop into my head.

[Joathen]

Turians and Tau.

Raptor militant empire? Hell freaking yes. Love those awesome mandible things. Cool as shit.

Asian-inspired future Draenei? Sweet. Love their caste system and general anime-ish style.

[Immitis]

As soon as i saw this post Daleks was the first thing to pop into my head.

how can daleks be your favorite? their mutant squid brains filled with hatred and racism and then popped into a pepper pot with a lazer gun O-O

My favourites are the Aliens, both from the movies and pretty much every other franchise, being Number Six, my favourite Alien, from the game Alien vs. Predator;



These are my top 1 aliens ever. I just love how they do things, kill, everything.

I also love the Predator, a lot, from movie and games too of course;



I love them a lot, because they do everything for honor and for the thrill of the hunt, I love their technology, their ships, weapons, man, even their face is cool!

These two are my top favourites ever, I doubt they will ever change!

[The Ogdru Jahad]

Used to be predators because they just looked so freakin bad ass. But then I saw prometheus, got really interested in the Alien universe and their backstory...now I find them slightly cooler, only cuz of the legitimacy of the franchise. Predator is slightly less serious.
