Coolest Fictional Alien Race

[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.

/slap, For the Overmind.

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.

Tyranids appeared first in the "Rogue Trader" edition of Warhammer 40k, what was the first corebook and was released 1987. Starcraft and the Zerg were released 1999.

- Tyranids are the epitome of "evolved", they devour entire races and adapt their DNA to their genpool to create new mutations, literally on the fly to their next meal. The Carnifex, that inspired the Ultralisk, was created when the Tyranids got their claws on the dna of a Spacemarine Terminator.

- Gargoyles, a Tyranid unit, is very well able to fly, as are several other units that can adapt wings when needed. Lyctors for xample can "fly", or more hover decent heights using Psy-Powers.

- Tyranids are infinite by default. While the fleet is busy devourering a world, literally at the same time a whole new generation of a bigger number is hatching on the swarm-fleet.

You're welcome.

The sangheili, a race that can take on genetically enhanced humans in power suits with no modifications of their own that were inspired by the predators, what's not to like?

EDIT: They're also classed as a saurian species,
Saurion - Any of various reptiles of the suborder Sauria, which includes the lizards and in former classifications also the crocodiles and dinosaurs.

The Sangheili are dinosaurs!

 

[Timberwolf0924]

how could you forget these guys!

The Homestuck Trolls:

Spoiler

They have the levels. All of them.

Spoiler: +1

 

[AM City Watch]

The Tralfamadorians.
They can see through time, they know they're going to destroy the universe, and they don't really care.

But seriously, the Time Lords. When they're not going mad with power and attempting to destroy reality. And, really, sometimes even then.

 

[marscentral]

Martians are the greatest in any fictional universe.
