Really can't say that's true. Psychologically, people empathize with what they can assign familiar meaning to, even if the similarities are superficial. It's why people can look at a picture of an animal and say it has "expressive eyes."

Assuming this empathy is universal (which, given the rubber-headed-alien nature of the MEU, it evidently is), an Asari might very well see a piece of themselves in terrestrial mollusks and hold a natural aversion to eating them. Go into "uncanny valley" territory and they might see them as something disturbing, as we might see an animal that resembled a disembodied human hand. In any case, it seems that various alien species in the MEU have enough in common to find members of other species sexually attractive (and through evolutionary flukes which, ah, strain credulity, can even make the parts fit). That their significant other had an evolutionary history over billions of years where the paths never once crossed doesn't enter the equation.

 

Is it canon that the parts fit? I've seen fan-art (ahhhh!!!!) that definitely agrees so, but, what do they know?

Speculationz!!!

It's... pretty heavily implied, but not directly stated. I saw the dev's diagram of what an unarmored Turian is supposed to look like. Don't... really want to think about it too hard.

James: "Under the suit... do Quarians have..."
Shepard: "Have?"
James: "...Never mind."

He even has a line on it being cannibalistic.

Yup, and the reason he thinks that way is that he is racist.

[themikefest]

Nope. Mess Sergeant Rupert Gardner is a classy guy. I like his calamari gumbo. Too bad I couldn't have him in ME3 to serve me more of his gumbo.

I asked if it is wrong because their head has tentacles and a octopus has tentacles. Back when I first got Mass Effect -- when I first seen an asari. I thought to myself, does that thing spit out black ink or something? What happens when it becomes to excited? Then one of them joined my crew and I was disappointed to not have the option to ask it that. Regardless, now that I think about it, they are different from an octopus because... well they are not from Earth. Whatever they evolved from must have been a human-ish-thing with tentacles coming from its head. Which is weird because Thessia is so far from Earth. So, did a Prothean kidnap a human and have it mate with something on Thessia? They was apparently studying humans and raising the asari, right?

[DeathScepter]

Have you SEEN the fan art?

*shudders*

 

 

when has fan art been normal?

[DeinonSlayer]

In keeping with my original post...

Spoiler

Yeah, dude, it's OK to ****** yourself a little just this once.

[SporkFu]

I just wanna say one thing. They aren't tentacles.

Okay I'm done.

[Inquisitor Recon]

I'd bet a Fornax issue was dedicated to this subject at some point in time.

In fact Javik has a line on this, the Asari-ancestors themselves started mating with Thessian-Lizards.

Lizards not Cephalopods!

I hear Liara's original paramour scene had a lot of gratuitous tentacle play and ink splashing all over the walls, but it was cut due to time constraints.

 

It might have been quite cool if Liara's special power was to squirt ink out of the back of her head to confuse enemies though, lol.

Or as a sign of intense gratification/satisfaction

I heard Joker asking Liara about them. Apparently it is a sensitive subject, because she shouted, "I'm not telling you if my hair tentacles move!"

[Kurt M.]

I have the octopus right here, just add the asari:

Have you tried that Asari mumbo gumbo?

[themikefest]

Have you tried that Asari mumbo gumbo?

The calamari gumbo from Rupert Gardner in ME2? Very good. I miss having him on the Normandy in ME3 to serve me more of his gumbo

No one cooks on the Normandy anymore. I will not gave James contaminate the food!

It's not as good as my abuela's pulpo rancheros... but maybe it's better if I dunno what kinda squids these are, no?

I don't even want to know what he had in mind... :S

[StarcloudSWG]

The asari crest has much more in common with the human nose and a shark's fin than anything as flexible as a tentacle.

 

They can apparently be shaped to a small degree; witness the advertisements on Illium. 

[von uber]

The adverts are quite amusing on Illium.

She is angry because it is a childish question, they obviously do not move in public.

So he only asks hoping he whould get told some kind of secret.

Thanks,themikefest.

I miss Rupert, too. That guy was hilarious.

 

Also, I had wanted to try that Fish Dog Food Shack place on the Citadel. Not to go off topic though.
