Since Mass Effect is the greatest science fiction story ever told and X files is my favorite TV series ever, I stole and Idea from Chris Carter. How about a Alien Human Hybrid race in MEA set to destroy all humans created by antagonist. If you could mix any Alien species with Human in ME universe who would it be?
Could you imagine a Human/Krogan (In theory) mix lol...
I second this reaction.
And, I also think Mass Effect is much better off never toying with the alien/human hybrid concept.
Depends whether you care about the science in your science fiction.
Main issue is that at least 3 aliens don't even have the same type of DNA as us. Turians' and Quarians' have a different protein used in their DNA and Protheans have a quadruple helix. Then comes the fact that I assume that the other alien species are nowhere near us on a genetic level. Our closest genetic relatives are 94-99% similar to us and there is still doubt as to whether hybridization could take place. there could be a race of genetically modified ultra-humans but hybrids? thats a little to... far-fetched for me.
No.
Star trek did hybrids are the time.

From what I understand, in Star Trek most of the aliens were related to one another. Isn't the backstory that the series' equivalent of the Protheans seeded the galaxy with life that then evolved in different directions on different planets? Rather being completely separate species for example, humans and Vulcans were just two different branches of the same family tree.
In the ME universe the aliens are truly alien, and in not in any way biologically related to humans.

No I was just saying Star trek did a good job with coming up with Hybrid looks.

Not yet at least. "The Chase" didn't show up until near the end of TNG's run, more than 20 years after the invention of the ST universe and its Vulcans, Romulans and Klingons, albiet hybrids had obviously been showing up earlier than the episode, such as Spock and Saavik.
Wouldn't be surprised if ME went in a similar direction at some point. Romanced Garrus was already talking about this by ME3

That whole hybrid idea is so 1980's ....
As long as you don't go all Splice and romance them.
Its impossible, too different species. Heck even here on Earth its impossible.
After dealing with the Reapers, are we really eager for another "Kill All X!" motivation for the series villain? I'd prefer we stick to being refugees trying to eek out a new existence, and the main conflict coming from other races making that difficult for us due to the "newcomer" status.
Just to change things up.
I'm going to echo others here: No.
Also, as much as I love ME, it's really not the greatest sci-fi story ever told either, because I can cite a ton of novels in the sci-fi genre that are all superior to ME such as the entire Foundation series by Isaac Asimov, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream by Harlan Ellison, The Peripheral by William Gibson (and I should probably throw in Neuromancer) , Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson (I'm also fond of Cryptonomicon and Seveneves), 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke (and definitely Childhood's End), The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin, the Darwin's Children novels by Greg Bear, The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell (and the sequel called Children of God), Perdido Street Station by China Mieville, and so on.
I think the Xenogenesis trilogy by Octavia Butler was great and touches on human-alien hybrids. Try reading that instead, because trying to toss the surprise addition of human-alien hybrids into ME:A on top of exploring a new galaxy and the Remnant just doesn't work for me from a logical and scientific standpoint. The only way I think human-alien hybrids would be possible in the ME-verse is if Synthesis were canonized (in which case fundamental changes to all life might make it possible) and that events in Andromeda took place after ME3. Otherwise, nope, nuh-uh, not happening.
Even if it did everything right, I don't think it's very inspiring as far as sci-fi goes. We look like chumps, who can only survive off other/older tech. Glorified junk yard mechanics. Most sci-fi is about dreaming and creative potential. Or at least evolutionary potential.
