There seem to be at least 3. 


1. One seem to be non-Remnant Remnant. I thought those are converted Lumenari, based on their naming habits, yet it's probably not a case. 

    I don't know if they are made to look like their organic originals or are cyborgs that keep the visage or a homage to certain famous droids from galaxy far away. I think there are at least 3-4 images, while 1 of them might be a Tikanan and another a Z'vali. Diplomacy and photobombing.

2. Another seem to be a generic humanoid alien but with weird crystal/crest like things on the sides of its head. At least 2 images known. One is in pink colour-range.

3. A Fomorian. Pretty easy, but one must know what is the Fomorian first.

    3a.There are also a few android-Detroits (human) but they are for sure not-sentient for now


Surely there must be more!



Why I think it's fun? 

 -  it's an egg hunt and where's waldo at the same time. Everybody likes those, right?

 -  one photobomber hunt spawned a whole race and a recruitable hero who has a comic on its own. 

 - these are also clues (from the devs) what we can see in the future - I will give an example: Devs seem to reuse those concept races and random

   aliens, like UE prologue alien, which probably evolved into Kal'Tik'Ma (after some very minor cosmetic changes) and is known from several          lesser known images. About the clues - count the "Eyes" and the placement of them in the Umblical Cord's proto-concept.

 

There seem to be headressless Eyder(or more likely, their earlier concept art). There are pictures of Vodyani (they ARENT humanoids, but one of the more unique races of ES in shape, I think) in their pre-Cloth form.


As a sidenote, It would be fun when some Tchinoym refugees would make a comeback lambasting Vodyani jerks left and right in their fluff minor civ text while attempting to never again destroy a planet with fervour.


What I still cant to find - visorless Haroshem (as they are said to be one-eyed) and helmetless Hissho/Yuusho. Maskless Endless are humans obviously.   I encourage thee to succed where I have fallen. 


I have a whole bunch of printscreens (with proofs) that are uncategorized, so it might take some time when I will post them for anyone interesed. I encourage you all to do the same and help wiki and community grow, a day at a time :)

What's this all about? Should we tell you where those races you mention appear?


The Fomorian is the creature killed by the Hissho in the Hissho opener. They are contructs created by the Endless on Auriga (or brought to Auriga by the Endless). In Endless Legend they operate the off-shore installations introduced by the Tempest DLC. Whether they are appear in the Hissho movie as a private joke to Endless Legend players or they hint of some upcomming races, only the devs could tell.


Not sure what you mean by non-remnent remnent???

It's pretty much a gist of it: I raise a challenge, somebody picks it, posts results -  got'em. It seems to be like a fun.


About Fomorian - yes, I know their background. They are pretty much in the open, but someone new to Endless Universe, especially someone playing exclusively ES2, might dont know even while seeing a Fomorian in the open.


Non-remnant remnant. I might've gotten it wrong, but there might be something in the lore, that suggested thay might be cyborgs. I cannot find it, so maybe I imagined it.  At least their complex names suggest it.

Their form might be inspired or might have inspired another race - their lanky SW-droid like appearance with their iconinc shawl, which seems to have something cultural going for them, as it's covering nothing. 


There are, not counting them, at least 3-4 not implemented species that are lanky, with one of them (named, Brakt, loosely inspired by them, as there are a numer of differences) created for the Minor Faction Contest (and not making it). 

There also a species that looks just like Remnant progenitors (biologically) on some images and their (race's) background in digital sciences might be fitting for digitalizing themsleves/making AI patterned after themselves for the Endless to use.


I've made some searching with my printscreen/art collection (made during 2-3 games) and there might be even up to 20 brand new species, without names, but with numerous instances showing the same design and idea behind them.

I'm not a stranger to Endless lore, but TBH it's rather hard to digest all the unstructured info you've droped in bulk in multiple threads

A lot of untold species seem to be some kind of offshoots of already existing ones. Perfect example is mother and child from the quest that requires you to gain new pop in your empire. They seem a lot like slightly altered galvran with that destinctive second pair of eyes in the same location and similar shape of the head and body. The only difference is their skin colour basically.
