I would go with the Mysterons from Captain Scarlet. My other choice would be the Borg

That's a tough one.

I won't pick my fav alien from books because I'd probably go for someone out of my own book. It's hard being biased

Though I guess I've always liked the Shrike. Horrifying but occasionally cute/hilarious

BEFORE ANYONE POINTS OUT THAT HE'S A ROBOT - We don't know that for sure, do we? Besides, intelligent artificial life forms also count as aliens imo.

In movies it gets even tougher since I'm having some difficulties remembering all the aliens I've seen in those :3 But either way, I don't think I have a clear winner in this category. No alien immediately jumps to my mind when I think "aliens in movies". We need more sci-fi movies with aliens!

In games... yeah, I'm sorry, that's a tie between Protoss and Zerg for me. Ever since my childhood they were my fav aliens in video games and I don't think that changed. Even nowadays I often catch myself comparing new alien races to these two.

Also, honorable mention to a great alien that appeared in books, movies and games:

My favorite aliens are out of Ender's game "the Book" and I highly recommend that book cause it is way better than the movie

When it comes to aliens I have always been fond of the Spathi. They were hillarious.

I also liked the Zoq, the Fot and the Pik and their obsession with frungy the sport of the kings.

Other than that I like Groulien Salt Hogs and fully support the Groulien Worker Party. They just keep their head down and try to get their work done.

The Shinari are different from the above. "The usual business" ...

Thank you so much for your kind words that counts alot to me.

And is motivating me , so stay tuned if there is someday(Iam sure there will be) a race Contest for Endless Legend as it was for Automatons in ES.

I will add new Chapters to their Story and send them into the race ; )

For People dont know what we are talking about^^

The Legion was a race i invented and wrote a lore about last year just to be prepared if someday a new race contest happens and of course it was a hell of fun.

Ascendancy races. It's a game from the mid 90's, and I absolutely love what they did in that game.

Obviously we all like Endless Space, there are also other aliens out there. I just want to see what everyones favorite aliens are and why, and they can be from any form of media from any time period: Books, Games, Movies, Comics, or even your own personal creation you have been keeping in that footlocker under your bed.

My favorites are a tie between the Forunners from the Halo games and the Daleks from Docter Who(An American that watches Docter Who? AMAZING(My foreign freinds typical reaction)).

Devs give me yours too.

The Scramblers of Blindsight by Peter Watts (the entire text of which he has made available for free on his site).

They're intelligent but not sentient. They can communicate with the intent of tricking us but they don't comprehend anything because they're not aware. They react to our broadcasts about matters conscious beings care about as meaningless noise and thus an attack meant to disrupt their communications networks.
