Strangest alien in sci-fi?

[Varthikes]

Funny, that's what I like about it.

Me too. At least, that's one of the reasons.

I listed all of my other reasons.

And, I agree with all of them. But, above all reasons, it is because of Pilot and Moya that I love FarScape--the best two characters, in my opinion, in all science fiction.

[Tsukiyumi]

Yeah, Pilot is awesome. And, Moya is an amazing ship, for an unarmed, organic transport vessel. I don't think I cared more about a ship in any sci-fi series, 'Trek included.

I thought the Vogons from the Hitchhiker's Guide movie were fantastically weird. Go Jim Henson's Creature Shop!

Never saw the film. But the IDEA of them was great, with a liver for a brain and all.

I also liked the mattresses as alien creatures from Life, the Universe, and Everything.

After getting deep into B5 I thought the Vorlons were pretty strange.

There are a few scenes that make the movie really worth watching. One involves yarn.

In the same vein as what I posted in the "design your alien" thread, I also have to give an honorable mention here to the Affront from the Culture novels.

Also from the Hitchhiker's Guide, I'd like to nominate that race who are a sentient shade of the colour blue.
For formal wear they project themselves through prisms.

From Star Trek, I'd say the Tholian and Species 8472. Especially 8472.

Damn, I gotta read this series again!

[Teaos]

The 8472 are the weirdest trek aliens.

[Reliant121]

The Nomads from Freelancer. They were basically blue slugs with 4 like...tendril things, that projected a blue aura and took over people by biting them with huge tenticularl tongues that grow inside the body much like the things from Alien.

Although the sentient shade of blue sounds...interesting.

Were they the same ones who played "interdimensional cricket," which consisted of hitting someone as hard as you can and then running away and apologizing?

[Sionnach Glic]

I think so, don't quite remember.

[Reliant121]

I'm going to have to go to the library and borrow some Hitchiker guide to the galaxy books.
