No one would be bothered by the Quarians hands and feet?

No...  but it's a good question, and kinda find it weird myself I have no problem with it at all when I look at Tali.

Anything that look close to are kind of ear would just be called a ear when you go into "equivalent" is when you start going into the more off the wall style for all we know it a tube.

You never know with writers, maybe he just wanted to put a lil of flourish in his writing and "equivalent" is a good word for that purpose. It could be a differently shaped ear, a fin, a tube, an antenna, an hole... that description can pretty much be interpreted as anything you want.

Oddly I could see a fin like ear on them I have NO idea why thou.

Not at all. Maybe because Nightcrawler was my favorite X-men character.

The ear thing I think is interesting because we just don't know. It's very vague and open to interpretation (just like the rest of the Quarians). For some reason, the passage made me think of Twi leks from Star Wars that have these sort of pointed ear-horns or Freiza from Dragonball Z with a sort of odd-looking ear, but it could be ear fins or, heck, something like a cat's ear.

Oh god I'd even take the hole in the hed long before I took cat ears, I freakin hate that neko crap.

OR does it actually bother you, but since Tali is such a lovable character, you just ignore it?

you mean their Leku? or their Ears? cause their Leku aren't ears. (Twi-leks)

I'd like to point out that the amount of melanin in human skin is a function of several variables, a few of the biggest being:
1) The peak wavelengths of light output of our star, Sol
2) Earth's atmosphere
3) Our need for Vitamin D

Melanin is a pigment that helps absorb/block UV rays, and lack of sunlight only causes melanin reduction because blocking UV in places with little sunlight causes Vitamin D deficiencies. A race orbiting a redder star that does not shed enough UV to penetrate the atmosphere, or a planet whose atmosphere efficiently blocks UV, may very well have not had any melanin in the first place -- they may very well have a different skin pigmentation to take advantage of their home star's light output. Additionally, if there is no evolutionary pressure (such as Vit. D deficiency) to remove that pigmentation when sunlight is lacking, a majority of them may very well be exactly the same color that they were on their home planet.

Also, being mammalian doesn't imply having hair. For us it is leftover from when we needed it for warmth. A mammalian race from a much hotter planet, however, may have none at all.

Just sayin'.

Not really there no odder then Turians or Krogan or if you wanna go out there hannar =p.

Did not read all the posts, so sorry if this has been said. But Quarians do not spend their whole lives in their suits. They do not get their first suit till adolescents You find that out in her quest. It would make sense that they spend some of their time without their suits in clean rooms.

And if you have mammary glands and feed your young milk you are a mammal (see Websters) .

we've established the fact their mammalian i think thanks to the wiki, but this is very sound input as well ^^

[VettoRyouzou]

I think the key thing we wanna know is if they have fur/hair or not that one of my key questions. It's kinda dull knowing your the only race who has hair =p.

[jimmyjoefro]

Just as long as they're not bald headed.

well we can take pride in being one of 2 martially awesome races ^^

Issue is that a possibility that can't be ruled out even with fur/hair spending most of on life in a suit can case hair to stop growing, Much like how military men began to get bald spots from helmets.

[jimmyjoefro]

Yeah, but it's the 22nd century. SURELY, they've cured baldness by then??

Grunt was refering to the spieces in combat. So, without a dout, he was refering to them in their suits, as I seriously dout Okeer has ever fought an unsuited quarian. Who knows, Okeer may have never fought anything other then a battle hardened migraint marine. And it was a fairly odd statment, as it seems everyone else in the galaxy finds them fragile. And, didn't he actually gernerize that humans where the most fraile species, not the salarians?

The Quarians have only been suited for 300 years, and Okeer was very old. He could have easily fought unsuited Quarians. And he said, "humans, salarians, asari, all soft" he didn't say any one was softer than the others.

That argument kinda loose we don't know HOW old Okeer was as well asthe fact Quarians tend to live on the outer area of the galaxy so again ether way grunt testimony can be render invalid on both side as he was never specify over that he was referring to.

IF Wrez said that Okeer it's a very very old name than he must be VERY VERY OLD.Because Wrez he's actually quite OLD.

Krogan can live for thousand of years.

1. It’s WREX
2. Your argument moot by now we tossed grunt words out, as we all agreed there way too many variables in the way to be sure if he was referring to the suit or skin.

[Fishy]

I'm just saying that Okeer he's very old even for Krogan standard and he probably have seen them without their suit.



The soft part it's probably has nothing to do with physical streng.I doubt the skinny Quarian are physicaly strong . More like good in combat.Human haven't been traveling in the galaxy for very long.Human were probably still in the mediaval era when Okeer was fighting rachni on uncharted planet.

[jimmyjoefro]

There's got to be a ton of Asari that know what the Quarians look like under the suits. It's "only" been 300 years.

Again this is why we labeled it moot Grunt memories are not from a collective database there all just Okeer past memories, there to many variables we don't know what Okeer past adventures took him we don't know if he been at the edge of the vial we don't know much of anything over Okeer past but the small tid bits grunt give us, which himself get randomly.

This is why it was tossed out were not sure if Okeer is referring to before or after they left the home world.

Samara mentioned it, IIRC.  She's going on 1,000 years, so you figure there's 700 years worth of sexy blueness with the knowledge.
