Salarians are supposed to look like 'classic' sci-fi alien types.

Thresher maws or elcor. Anything more human-like in appearance or too closely resembling an Earth animal just seems unlikely to me.

Rachni maybe? Not many of the aliens in ME are more than funky looking humans with slightly different physiology. Even those that look radically different (the Hanar for example) seem to still have such a similar way of thinking to humans that they don't really even seem like aliens.

hanar. Aquatic creatures tend to be the most intellegent(whales, octopi, dolphins, etc) Anything bipedal seems unlikely

Well from the alien movies in the 80's, I would say Salariens lol.

Humans. The USA has built a big fence on its southern border to keep out illegal aliens who look just like us.

I would be interested in knowing where you figure out what is or isnt likely. All that we know for fact, is that bi-peds are the only sort to ever evolve the necessary features to reach sentience.

Given that, a factual statement would be that a human-like appearance (ala bi-ped with free arms/hands to manipulate tools) would be the only option that we know to be likely.

@OP so...I donno. I'm gonna say Salarians just because they are reminiscent of nearly every space-alien abduction sketch humans have ever come up with. Maybe that redneck who got probed was on to something.

I hope asari.

I would kill the entire human race for that.

given that there are countless planets and systems in our one galaxy, I'd say it's possible for it/them to have evolved into either a very hominid species, and/or a more common quadrupedal species.

now intelligence is a whole other issue entirely, but again; with the vastness of this one galaxy, it's possible. . .

Do you also believe that it is unlikely that calcium exist anywhere else in the universe?

I don't see how organic evolution is any different than any other natural phenomenon. Clearly, organic life is just as much  a certainty given certain circumstances just like iron will form under certain circumstances.


As far as the thread topic goes I'd say... the drell.

For all any of us know all of them could actually be renditions of real aliens, but if I had to choose one, I would pic the asari because they're a race of hot blue alien babes that are on average more promiscuous than any other female of any other species in the mass effect universe.

Hanar, more of a hope than an educated guess. They're pretty awesome...

FOR BIG STUPID JELLYFISH!

Hanar are the least likely to develop technology. Their tentacles are too thick to provide any dexterity.

why wold bipedal be unlikely if you use earh as an example of evolution all those aqotic life forms are millions of years old and unevoled due to the lack of drastic enviromental change. where as bipedal creatures ie humans had to adapt to a constant changing enviroment that evolved our lrger and supior brains. whales, octopi,dolphinsand other aquotic life each a apex of evolution due to the little eviromental change of the ocean. thuse they peak and platuo on their eviolution. now also look at the extreamly short time it took the human speacies to evolve to the dominant life on earth. in roughly less than a million years. earth its self has had three mass extinctions that restarted surface life wail aquotic life has been relatively unchanged sence the begining of the oceans. so if anything bipedal speacies would be the most common if not domiant form of intelagent life. I could go into the finer details of the positives of four limbed upright bipedal life but tha wld be a long topic.

turrians and krogen seem most likely to be real. asari are to sci fi a mono gender speacies that breeds mentaly. it would make more sence for it to be a sexual and use spawning or hermaphrodic repopulation as in fish and worms. krogen are dule gendered and bipedal thier size would make them luke warm blooded like dinosours. this would allow for limeted adaptaion to other worlds but very likely. turians are avians and after millions of years of evolution they would be likely as flight would be in efishent to a larger brain and they would have to become bipedal to fit their already established four limbed fraim. that would allow them to be warm blooded mkeing them adapable to many enivroments.
