Okies, we've got boy and girl Quarians and Humans, Asari only have one sex, Krogan women are off at camp, and I read somewhere that Salarians are mostly male with the women back home running things.  But what about Turians?  We know from Garrus that female Turians go to war and can be formidable in hand to hand combat.  And there's a lot of Turians in Mass Effect, so where are all the females? 

Or are Turians like dogs and just not that sexually dimorphic (at least to human eyes)?

The only logical answer here is: Bioware is teasing us and/or couldn't make a secondary model for females.

[Garuda One]

Garrus is actually a girl.

[Bluko]

Yesss... I would like to see this female Turian "flexibility".


No, but in all seriousness I've always wondered what the deal is since I don't think Turians are discriminatory gender wise. Are there no Female Turian C-Sec Officers? I can understand female Turians looking mostly like Males, but you think they'd at least have feminine voices. I mean I understand not seeing female Salarians or female Krogan cause they are rare, but what's the deal with Turians? I can only hope in Mass Effect 3 will get to finally meet a female Turian.

Damn, have I been misled or what!



No female Krogans, or female Salarians either. The excuse is that they're rare in their species, pssssh.

The Asari are supposed to balance the galactic gender equation, roll with it.

This will be the big twist in Mass Effect 3, I can see it now!

Garrus: "Commander I have a bit of revelation..."

Shepard: "Oh? What's that Garrus?"

Garrus: "Well you know all those calibrations I was always doing... Well you see I'm actually a female."

Shepard: "WTF!!!"

Garrus: "I suppose that means you don't want to go back to the Captain's quarters then?"

Shepard: "I should go."

Garrus: "Right, I'll be here if you need me."

I suspect the turians have a martial society, where women, assuming they are like human women, are the weaker sex, hence generally won't be given much power and definitely will rarely ever be i the military.

As Turians are not mammals, how would a non-Turian tell them apart? Shape of mandibles? Different scale patterns? Knobs and spikes in odd places we don't see?

the turian women are getting their fringes done in some far-off planet

@ Wildecker: +1

They're off chillin' with the female dwarves.

Longer tongues.

I like to think that on a galactic scale, the way "sex" works would vary widely from organism to organism.

Humans would try to label alien "genders" (If they even have genders) as "male" and "female," and aliens might play along in order to aid their understanding, but ultimately, that wouldn't do them justice/reflect them accurately.

That's how I like to rationalize the lack of female Turians; however, I'd like to see BioWare and other creators of sci-fi to explore the variation of the cosmos more (Say, there's a species with three distinct gender functions; one that pollinates, one that recieves the pollination and develops the basic embryo, and one that recieves the embryo and develops it fully).

I think Turians have two sexes, Garrus seemed pretty clear on that. No idea what they look like although that image Ghostfire posted seems plausible-- thanks for that! The only hint is Garrus' comment that were Shep a Turian, he'd compliment her on her fringe and her waist, which he hastens to add, "Looks very...supportive". Whatever THAT means

[DoomedMello]

Yet, again, this also leads us to the question of what or where female volus, hanar, elcor, vorcha and drell are. Also, I'd like to see a living female krogan, considering you only get to see a dead one in Mordin's Loyalty Mission.

Devs were too lazy to make female models of most aliens

[chestersmurf]

If I remember right the Mass Effect wiki mentions something about how Bioware didn't have time to do the female turian models so they cut them.

[Pat.CyberFreak]

 turian girls?
Damn, they would be horrible ugly!

Bioware could get out of their laziness and show us some female turians in ME3.

[JulianP]

Regarding the claim that lack of time / resources led to the absence of female turians (source: meforums.bioware.com/forums/viewtopic.html )   -  I'm a bit bummed that they didn't just use the opportunity to make turians sexes look pretty much the same.  It would probably have messed up what they originally had in mind, I guess, but personally I would find it kind of refreshing to see a non - sexually dimorphic human-like species in which the females don't have the obligatory non-mammal boobs for once.  That, and the male turians are very beautiful as is, and I'd hate to have one sex look nicer than the other   It's nice that there hasn't been a canon explanation about gender ratios or sex roles being very divergent, so it would seem less strange to make them look about the same than to have us constantly pretending that we just didn't happen to see any.  Oh well.

[hamtyl07]

where are the female turrians and female krogan thats the real question

[angj57]

Ah yes, "females," a gender seperate from males but capable of reproducing with them. We have dismissed that claim.

[Argent Csero]

They're in the kitchen where they should be.







Just kidding.
