No. Not only the fanboys.

They always come to claim one of their own. They're like Scientologists or something.

[Tirranek]

They are unlike anything you didn't expect.

there are ways to she the shadow model under tali's mask, but a think that's just a rough shape for shading..



I'm more interested in speculating on the basic phenotype... Asari seem to be based on aquatic cephlapods (although I can't imagine the evolution there), Taurians are vaguely reptilian, as a re Krogran and Threll, Hanar are clearly derived from jelly fish, Elcor seem dinosaur or elephantine. vorcha and batarians seem hard to define, and who knows about the Volus....



my guess for Quarians is either reptilian, or avian derived (it'd be interesting to have an avian species, and many of the story elements would support it)



but I've got to wonder... where in the heck are our fellow mammals the closest we seem to see are the elcor, and maybe the volus

Definitely humanoid. You see Quarian skeletons in one of the N7 missions, and well, they look a lot like human skeletons. Turians are move avian, Krogan and salarians seem more reptilian.

We already have an avian species: the Raloi. I'm still hoping to see both the true Quarian look and the Raloi final art in ME3. On topic no but plenty of fan art

You don't realize what you've done!

[rabidhanar]

Here they come....Brace yourself!



Also to all those Talimancers out there, I believe that Tali looks like Jacob under that mask.



Come fight me, you pansy!!!!

[Nox Ferocia]

well they're all pretty much "humanoid" (bilateral, two arms/legs, upright stance, except the hanar) I was thinking more genetic background... I suppose I could see turians as proto avians, but I was thinking fully feathered...



salarians are hard for me to peg... I put it to aquatic, perhaps advancement on a mullosk base or aquatic mammal, the collectors and the keepers seem to be an insect base (although the protheans didn't seem to be insectile based on art so that may be a reaper attribute grafted in).



my thoughts for Quarians were based in the overly thin stance, the foot/hand structure, and the weakness against disease (avain species tend toward more immune deficiency)



of course if they reveal them eventually, they'll have to make them fairly attractive or risk fan retribution from the Talimancers ::snicker::

Why no love for the Volus? Don't people want to know what they look like?

lol, by Martin Sheen, i meant Danny DeVitto

They are humanoid. Their face almost looks like ours, but with glowy eyes. Also, note the appearance of the geth. Their arms and legs are very fiberous and muscular, almost like a muscle without any skin, and since the geth were created by the quarians, you can assume they took their form too (aside from the flashlight heads).

Umm, pretty much every species whose females we ever see seem quite mammalian actually... as they definitely don't lack for mammary glands...

God help us all is right haha..

Honestly though,  I picture them being the "elves" of the ME universe, dont look much different from us but have a sort of elegent and calming quality to them.

Humanity may be a young species but evolution sure does love it some nice gams.

But now I fear to see Elcor women.

Wouldn't it be funny if Tali looked JUST like Liara. Imagine the forums 5 minutes later. Bodies would litter the streets and Casey Hudson (and his perfect teeth) would have to hide underground.

[Siansonea]

Tali's breastages pretty much peg quarians as mammals. Space mammals, sure, but mammals all the same. Mammals are the only group of organisms that have the baloobies. Tali probably looks more like an asari or a human than a turian, amino acid chirality notwithstanding. And because she's a Space Babe with a massive horde of fans, you can be sure that if we do see her face, it will be "pretty" in a conventional sense, they're not going to awaken that sleeping giant by making Buckethead a Butterface.

I have to say, if we ever see female turians and krogan, and they end up having knobs, I am going to have the most epic facepalm of all time.

No.

I doubt Bioware Knows.

Let's just use our imaginations and believe they look like angels.

yeah see that's actually  something I had issue with... you look at the asari, and you dee female because of breasts, but their other features say something different.

although the assari do get chimera points for being similar to almost every visible race (tenticle like heads similar to salarians, the shape of which is reminiscent of taurian crests, and body shape similar to humans. theyr heads seem to be a bit scaly which give thems point on drell (probably not design forsight) and they have comparable life spans to krogan... if they were aquatic in origin that might be points towards hanar but that's kinda weak...

[Simpfan]

Typical man speak, only thinking about superficial external appearances.

What about the Quarian on the inside? Their feelings? Huh? Dont be so superficial.



but seriously they look like Dr. Zoidberg.

The wargle in their voice isnt from a microphone of some sort, its their lip tentacles.

What other features? I mean, yea, technically they're hermaphrodites, but I haven't noticed any visibly non-female features on them

They do look a bit like they've originated from something amphibian, though they don't seem to be aquatic species themselves, and I seriously doubt they have anything to do with cephalopods. The "tentacles" on their heads don't seem to actually be tentacles (i.e. something that can move around and manipulate stuff). I think they might be some sort of natural biotics amplifiers, but there's nothing to suggest that.

Of course we have to keep in mind that our terminology only goes so far in helping with classification of alien species. We don't know how their evolution went. Something that "looks reptilian" may have very little to do with what we call a reptile, apart from scaly skin. There could be species that share traits that on Earth are only found in completely unrelated phyla...

Back to the quarian topic, since they have what appears to be breasts, their skin is likely to be more or less like human (they'd have difficulty evolving them otherwise). For the same reason, they're probably not "avian" (that and, well, they really don't seem to be built for flight. Though I suppose they could be remote descendants of some sort of archaeopteryx and only have purely decorative feathers here and there...

(And of course all these mad ramblings only hold if race design wasn't a case of "draw something cool first and try to justify it later"...)
