Coolest Fictional Alien Race

[Zer_]

Klingons.

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

The C'Tan are pretty damn cool.

Don't mind me, just being the inspiration of death for a shit-ton of races.

 

[McPulse]

Kane.

Damn, that guy is kewl...

 

[Vancleef]

Honestly, I can't decide.

 

[raaaar]

warhammer 40k has a bunch of fun races
tyranids i think are the most frightening, c'tan/necrons probably the coolest/most interesting

 

[Vykrel]

i think the Protoss just ooze coolness.

but the Sangheili (elites) from Halo are cool in that they have that warrior spirit and honor-driven lifestyle that is pretty cool.

its a tossup for me

 

[Comma-Kazie]

Quarians, definitely.

Jaffa and Setidans are pretty cool too, but they're disqualified since they're technically human.

The C'Tan are pretty damn cool.

Don't mind me, just being the inspiration of death for a shit-ton of races.

Very cool! What are they from?

 

[Corekrash]

Orcs/Orks from Warhammer and Warhammer 40k. Having been nerdy enough to read into their biology, social structuring and hidden mental powers, (Plus I find their antics hilarious) They become my top choice.

I like the backstory of the Necron(tyr) from 40k, but they're army is so bland to actually play (And play against) that they lose points for me.

the DALEKS defenitly...
EXTERMINATE
and second place goes to the preadators (definitly better then the xenomorfs btw...)

Aw, damn, what was I thinking!? Daleks DEFINITELY come in second place.

Warhammer 40 000 is their home

 

[Zanderinfal]

Predators.

/Thread.
Bloody ninja'ed.
OT: with predator out of the running, (due to ninja-tation) I will have to say the combine.

You KNOW why I say that.

Don't you...

>8)

 

[jonyboy13]

I'll go with Protoss. I find Archon and Colossus really awesome.

Capthca:
Maxmultx furito

A furito is a furry burrito?

 

[MagusVulpes]

It's a close call, with Xenomorphs coming in for a CLOSE second, but my favorite is the Pequeninos from the Ender's Game series.

Spoiler

Even though they've been genetically altered, and are a 'freakish' cross between mammal-like animals with a tree, I love 'em! One of the coolest alien life form concepts I've encountered. I like them so much that I have to actively try to not use them in my scifi stories.

 

[the-kitchen-slayer]

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?

 

[Nickompoop]

Mine would definitely have to be the Drej from the movie Titan A.E. They're energy beings that can completely obliterate whole planets with a huge weapon mounted on their mothership.

Dammit, you took mine!
Hmmm...ignoring the drej, I'd say it's a tie between the Turians (for badassery) and the Krogans (for even more badassery).

 

[ecoho]

So what's your favorite alien race in all of literature, games, movies, and TV shows?

Mine would definitely have to be the Drej from the movie Titan A.E. They're energy beings that can completely obliterate whole planets with a huge weapon mounted on their mothership. Top that!

.....all you need is a power converter and a planet maker

i know im gonna get the name wrong but the kitaro kitaro from outlaw star. They are fucking beast men and women and lets face it everyone loves cat girls
