Aren't female birds and reptiles generally bigger than there male counter-parts?

[CalJones]

Snakes usually are (the female anaconda can be five times the size of a male) as their extra bodymass helps sustain her when she is gravid. (Incidentally, not all snakes are egg layers - some such as anacondas, boas and rattlensakes give birth to live young).

Birds...no.

Spiders and other arthropods are, but obviously these are not reptiles.

Actually what if turians where like Pecok's which would mean. Males are sexy and the females are just ugly! I'm not touching a Female turian if she looks like that.

[kglaser]

I don't like to think if the females were comparatively ugly (whatever that means), although if you ask me they certainly have the sexy male thing covered already.

[lovgreno]

Well it's great that we have sexy male turians but that isn't any exuse to make the female turians unsexy. I mean think of us guys who have to go gay for Garrus just because there are no female turians. How unfair.



But bigger fem turians than male... Yeah, why not?

Ok, if your looking to draw a turain female you would have to consider some serious factors.

One their heads definitely don't fully look the same as a male turian. We can say turians look insect like, but like on earth have thicker skin like rhino's and elephants as an example to keep the hot sun from hurting them.
(If you don't believe me on the thick skin part of rhino's and elephants go look it up in an animal biology book.)

Anyway, other factors they are definitely a sort of mammal, because they give birth to their young through their bodies sense garrus can have sex with a human female. I don't think turians lay eggs.

All female mammals has some sort of breast, but to not make her look ugly, you could make a turian female waist a little bit curvier which would give her hips a little bit more shape of a female. Her legs would be the important factor. With the female you would want to straighten up the thigh bone more and maybe give her back a little more arch. It really would be very difficult.



Ok the deciding factors of a female turian:

1: Straighten the thigh legs a little.
2. Extend the waist a little as well.
3. extend her chest a little to add breasts, but they shouldn't be big.
4. For a female look give her a smaller type of head fringe as well. Instead of the large head piece make it a little smaller.
5. Garrus also says thighs. The thighs should look similar to quarins. This would make more sense and with a thicker stomach area it would work well.

1. Why must everyone insist that all creatures be sexually dimorphic? Just because humans are doesn't mean everything else must be.
2. Garrus does, however, mention waist and fringes, so there is a small amount of credibilty in speculating that they may be distinguishing features.
3. Turians are not humans. Even if they do seem to have some "Mamalian traits", they do not share any evolutionary history with earth creatures, and judging them based on earth biology is fallacious. Also, this video demonstrates beyond any shadow of a doubt that Turians do not have mammaries. (start at 0:44)
4. "Female look"? Again, Turians are not humans.
5. Really? Why would looking like another species make sense?

It is entirely possible that female Turians are all over the place in these games, but we just cannot recognize the subtle differences (if they indeed exist) because any given species is only programmed to recognize the sex of their own species.

Will female Turians sell more copies of ME3? No. There's your answer.

For once, I fully support BioWare going lazy on this issue. That is, disclosing in ME3, that we've already encountered female Turians on multiple occasions and just couldn't tell the difference because there is no significant dimorphism.

Because only this approach can be consitent with the Mass Effect lore, which has already suffered greatly in ME2.

In Mass Effect: Retribution there are minor Turian female characters, and they are immediately recognized as being female by human characters. So there must be some noticeable physical differences between the sexes if humans are able to tell them apart.

Unfortunately the only explanation for not having seen Turian females in the game world so far, is just that a character model for them was never created.

[NKKKK]

Or that you never ran into them.
