You two really need to read Starship Troopers. The aliens in the book inspired the xenomorphs, which inspired both the Zerg and the Tyranids.DeadlyYellow said:I second that, though some later models seem inspired by the Xenomorphs. Or maybe the designer was a Giger fan.Fondant said:Tyranids. The inspiration for the Zerg, and utterly badass in their own right.
I know. The artist (I believe it's Giger) was very creative with it. The first Alien I saw was in AvP, and I was wonderfully surprised.Percutio said:The cool thing is that the Xenomorphs were quite original despite being inspired by the Starship Troopers aliens.Kogarian said:You two really need to read Starship Troopers.

The Zerg and Tyranids take pretty much everything from their precursors, even art design.
They arn't Aliens (atleast what the OP means by Aliens; Spacefairing creatures from other planets). The Locust from Gears are from inside the planet. They didn't come here from another celestial body.Slayer_2 said:The Locust from Gears.
I find words to be rather ambiguous. And aren't the Xenomorphs a little lowbrow compared to the Bugs?Kogarian said:You two really need to read Starship Troopers. The aliens in the book inspired the xenomorphs, which inspired both the Zerg and the Tyranids.

Also I like the Protoss, Krogan, and the Turians. and if you haven't seen the teaser trailer for Mass Effect 2 check it out, maybe we'll be able to play as an alien race.
