There is only one way of avoiding the war – that is the overthrow of this society. However, as we are too weak for this task, the war is inevitable. -L. Trotsky, 1939

Warcraft 'Demons' should be classified as aliens, so...fell hounds and dreadlords.

Along that line, the daemons from 40K fit in nicely with this thread.

Those plastic aliens in Dr. Who were interesting too.

Re: Strangest alien in sci-fi?
Is he really that strange, though? I mean, sure, he's a three metre tall immortal god, but he's still pretty human.
Along that line, the C'tan definitely qualify as strange.

Re: Strangest alien in sci-fi?
They're not that strange. Just androids really. For W40k I would go with Orks and their reproductive abilities over Necrons. But Orks aren't that unique. Ur-Quan Masters had some creatures similiar to Orks too. But these things were more along the lines of flying pigs and they released toxins which destroyed the planet they lived on. That's a bit stranger too.Mikey wrote:How about the Necrons - "living metal?"

Re: Strangest alien in sci-fi?
Technicaly the Necrons are just uber-advanced robots with the souls of the Necrontyr shoved into them. Not too sure if they'd actualy count.
