I doubt there will be a Yahg squadmate... Shepard can definitely assert dominance easily though, so it wouldnt be a problem.

I want the volus who kicked Jilani as my squadmate. And that's his power, he kicks people.


I want the Volus as well as the Urdnot clan member who had a tendency to kill... everything.

I don't see them as an ally.. I see them more as prime candidates for Reaper ground forces. An indoctrinated Yahg could be very nasty.


And Shep thought before that a Krogan army would be bad.

So I guess Saren didn't know about the Yahg? Since he would have been strong enough to kill one of their leaders and could have indoctrinated a whole army, I doubt the Battle of the Citadel would go the way it did if those beasts had been on his side.

I doubt that we'll get a squadmate as a Yahg, I doubt that we'll even get any more squadmates in ME3. ME2 was ABOUT getting squadmates.

AGREED. Write ME3 like they all exist, and cut out story from the game/alternate options if you were silly enough to have them die in ME2 (and oh shush people, we should all realize that the suicide mission was a gimmick).

2-4 absolute maximum new squadmates.

I'd like Batarian. They're not all bad - Omega has the scum, and so many of the rest are brainwashed. Some good eggs gotta be around.

Volus/Elcor for lulz, but perhaps plausable. I just want to see Elcor in battle rather that just bloody standing there.

Hanar even more for lulz, of course Blasto.

Garrus had a Batarian tech expert...so it's possible.

Edit: Comment in regards to having a Batarian squadmate in ME3

Actually, I'd like to see Yahg as villains in ME3 - we're without a new villain race for the next game, and I could see the reapers using them as pawns, perhaps even offering them the chance to 'uplift' since they seem so omnicompetent.

A yahg would be very interesting, expecially if the majority of the species served as part of the Reapers army- so basically they'd be like the new krogan (compared to ME1 anyway). Of course if we're getting a yahg we'd need a batarian aswell, aswell as maybe another new species (Kinda like the drell).

A hanar/ volus/ elcor would be awesome on the ship, but as party members... maybe they could exist in boss form. For example, you battle a hanar that floats around the battlefield and throws biotic missiles are you, wilst shooting you with it's floating weapons (Blasto???)- while spouting enkindler propaganda, possibly preventing you from destroying a Prothean/ Reaper artifact.

As for Elcor, you could either battle one that has a ridiclious ammount of health with a turret on it's back (that could be destroyed with tech powers) or have a couple of them behind you in the final battle- that would be awesome.

Maybe a volus could appear at some point, with biotic powers and kicking abilities of course but that may be stretching it...

Eehhhhhh. I'll be honest; I only kind of care about the drell and vorcha, and basically don't care at all about the raloi. I'm simply at my limit for sapient species populating the Mass Effect universe. The yahg can simply go screw, as far as I'm concerned.

They are a bit too big to be practical as squadmates I think.

Well we can't fight Krogan in ME3, they're on our side, so the yahg will be the new krogan, possibly.

I wouldn't surprise me if Yahg are preps for coop gameplay, due to the shield... :-/



Yahg as squad would be cool, but still want to see Batarians, Vorcha, and Varren (Urz) first Maybe even KEEPER 20! lol

You know, as smart as the Shadowbroker was, as far as I could tell their intelligence was only measurable on one of the yagh- the one that became the SB. It would be hard to tell how smart they are as a species as only one has demonstrated the abilities listed.

It will be interesting to see how these play out... Even though they are not warlike to the point of krograns, would they ever be able to get past their brutality to become a space-faring race?


Yeah. For all we know that one yahg was their equivalent to Leonardo Da Vinci. Given that they're all pre-spaceflight and have a culture that will basically get them blown up the second they achieve an off-planet presence, I wouldn't count on them all being like him.

This was my impression. Krogan in ME2 were largely portrayed as teddybearsturtles. Yahg are there to fill the "bloodthirsty savage" role they left vacant.

I honestly believe the Yahg will be "shock troops" the Reapers use against other races. When you do Mordin's loyalty, it states in the after action report that the Krogan would be great as "shock troops" as well. Who knows, maybe the galaxy will have the Krogan as it's main infantry unit so to speak while the Reapers employe the Yahg.

The thought is sexy. But I can't imagine how vicious they are. And how smart.



I think the Shadow Broker Dossier said that the Yahg was learning as fast as a Salarian, and I'm sure it said that it's ferocity put even the Krogan to shame.



Smart + Ferocious = Krogan Killer



I want one.

maybe they seem submissive once a dominant male is established. Damn I don't even know if they could fit in the new normandy. Maybe in the old one's cargo bay. They sure are awesome though. Hopefully they play a part in the upcoming dlc's or ME3. Going to their home world would be insane.


maybe Im wrong and Ill check the codex again to be sure but....Isnt the SR2 BIGGER than the SR1?

You're know they're going to have to for ME3 right?  Beacause there are some people (myself included in that list) that actually do "bloodbath" runs where they kill off as many sqaudmates as they can, only leaving the minimal amount alive in order to survive the SM.  Each one of my 3 characters has 8 separate data files.  4 Renegade runs taking on each LI (if you count Kelly) then killing off all squaddies on the 4th run and keeping the station.....And then 4 Paragon runs, same as before, each LI + a bloodbath run + destroying the station.  And at an attempt to have the "least" likely characters to return in ME3, I make sure that Kasumi and Zaeed are the only ones that survive on the BB runs.

Squad could only consist of Liara, Ash / Kaiden, + 2 survivors, in ME3. There's no way around adding new squad members.

I think a yahg would be a perfect big, tank-like character to send on to distract enemies.

I guess some people have made some great points, they seem way too big to be a team mate. Hopefully though we'll see more of them in ME3.

I want his shield for Shepard. Not as a squad mate though. I don't want the mental images that would come from allowing Kelly on the same ship..... On the other hand, that might be a way to get a new counselor.....
