Smokin Shadowz Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 This is not my personal list. The reapers would have been #1 for me. But I agree with the majority of the Alien races on here. Top five alien races who want to kill us. It seems as though the human race (and Earth itself) is constantly under assault by malevolent alien races – at least, if movies and video games are to be believed. We'll admit to having done some particularly heinous things as a race, but just once it seems we should get a break from all these aliens looking to put us in the ground! Discuss what you think about this list. And list your own top 5. If you want give reasons as to why they are in this order. 5. The Covenant Throughout the Halo trilogy (soon to include Halo 4) there's a veritable menagerie of alien goons out to clear us out – with ulterior motives, of course. All because they've deemed the whole of humanity offensive to their gods. The Covenant isn't an alien race itself, but a militaristic alliance of several species all united under a religious pretense – the Forerunner “ringworlds,” Halos as we know them, will supposedly lead them all to salvation. But humanity's completely in the way. The Covenant consists of several races: Elites (Sangheili), Jackals (Kig-Yar), Grunts (Unggoy) and others, all of whom aren't above slicing through Marines with energy swords, or slapping a grenade on your person for a messy finish. Oh, and they've got guns. The Covenant as a collective is dangerous, so we should thank our lucky stars Chief and the rest of the crew are on our side. And we didn't even mention the Flood! 4. Aliens (Xenomorphs) H.R. Giger's horrifying creations have been terrorizing moviegoers and gamers alike for years, and things are about to get a little more real with the upcoming Aliens: Colonial Marines. But why are they so chilling? Besides the fact that, you know, they have absolutely no goals other than continuing their biological line at any cost, including the lives of human beings? You know, a lot. Their blood is little more than acid. They violently implant their seed into the bodies of their victims and wait for the offspring to burst forth from their chests, effectively exterminating the host, with the chestbursters moving on to grow up and complete the cycle. Not only are these aliens difficult to kill, as you need to watch for their blood eating through either you or the hull of your spaceship and equipment, but they could possibly impregnate you via facehugger. And you don't hear those coming, usually. All this simply to propagate their species. 3. Locust Though not typically “aliens” per se, the subterranean reptilian race found with Sera of Gears of War has one main goal: to exterminate the entire human race, and then live on the surface of Sera. And no means of annihilation is too extreme: they'll send kamikaze tickers, snipers, enormous beasts such as Berserkers, and any member of the Horde hierarchy to clear out densely populated areas of men, women, and children. Grinders, Corpsers, and more relentlessly pursue humans for this very purpose. And trust us, you don't want to have to go up against a Brumak. The Locust Horde is chock full of no-nonsense warriors who, like the rest of the alien races on our list, would love to have humanity's heads on several billion platters. 2. Chimera The Resistance series revolves around humanity's dalliances with the malevolent Chimera, hailing from an unknown star system – believed to be the “original” inhabitants of Earth. The Chimera are content to eradicate all of humanity so they can encroach on Earth, making it their own. How do they do this? By infecting unsuspecting humans with a mutagenic virus. Victims will lapse into a coma and begin a slow, painful transition into a Chimera by way of cocoon. Throughout Resistance it quickly becomes clear they have no regard for human feelings or suffering – they simply pick numerous victims up at once and take them all to conversion centers, where humans are converted into far more “useful” states. Fair? Not really? Effective? You bet. You've played Resistance: Fall of Man, right? So you know how things end up. 1. Zerg The Zerg operate as one, as a hivemind, and seek to assimilate other races into their own. Much like the aforementioned Reapers, their goals are simply to gather other races for the Zerg swarm and create a master race as the result of an amalgam of the races assimilated before. Swift, strong, and ruthless, the Zerg don't rely on their own technology or traits to advance, only new “units” to be introduced into their ranks and controlled by the Overmind. If you've any doubt what they're capable of, simply observe the happenings of StarCraft and StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. And then tell us they're not a danger to our race. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Seems like a appropriate top race. Agreed, Covenant would rape us all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuko 'Zarhamee Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Nice list, though I can't help noting that the Zerg seem incredibly similar to the Flood. And the Ceph (from Crysis) don't even get an honorable mention? Still, great list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokin Shadowz Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Yeah, I was thinking about the Reapers from Mass Effect, but they go after more then just humans so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INACTIVE Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I think the Flood should be in the list. Actually it should be in the top 3 of the list. Remember Halo 3? the mission where the flood first reach earth? Do you remember how quickly the population of the area around the crash site got infected?

Vinyl Scratch Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I see one flaw with your post. *sips tea* You neglected to include the Flood, cause though they are technically a disease, they are an infectious alien bacteria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually since they seem to have a central nervous system,some rudimentary intelligence (before the creation of a Gravemind, of course), and appear to be multicellular they're actually more like parasites than bacteria.

Thank you, but everytime I say one or the other, someone tells me the opposite again. Gonna read a book to get the exact difference to defend my answer.

lauracurnowasw007 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Video games are primarily themed on alien assaults and mass attacks. The alien theme has a realistic feel about itself and is grabs a lot of attention around. Car Tracker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minuette Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 for the Covies, just get a dinosaur costume and blend in with the elites. They'll never notice!

Azaxx Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I think The Flood (Halo) Reaper (Mass Effect) Locusts (Gears of War) Tyranids (Warhammer 40000) Covenant (Halo) I only said Halo twice because of the vast difference of the two "species" and the different mindsets they have against humans.

Roun Cole Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Problem with your list is that The Covenant and The Flood would cream the crap out of the Locusts. Yeah, seriously, The Flood are at the tippy top of the list above number one, give the flood a single hour without contest and you would not be able to stop them, they are capable of using the memories, skills, and abilities of all the hosts they have infected, the halo rings were built to defend themselves against everything no matter what it was, even the leadership of the forerunners, because the Flood would take someone over and use there authority to tell everyone to stand down and not resist..... The Zerg can kiss there collective asses, the Flood would infect and take over the Zerg! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
