Top 10 Alien Species in Video Games


these guys do not come in peace
get off my lawn you son of a bitch
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 video game alien species let me
summon my kin
for this list we ranked the coolest
alien races who originate from video
games as usual one per franchise human I
must speak to you on behalf of my people
number 10 Zim Saints Row 4 I’m seen yack
pleasure to meet you would you like to
join me for a ride here’s a race who
knows how to fight featured in a bizarre
and hilarious open-world action game
these guys come from a planet named
after their race where all the youths
have to serve in the military their
strict policy pays off since they’re
able to travel around various planets
kidnapping the finest sentient creatures
each one has to offer I’m smarter than
all these people delightful that means
you intrepid player and know they don’t
care that you’re the president of the
United States
so you agree you have a problem nope you
do you’re the communications director
fix this oh and they also blow up the
earth no big deal you want me to leave a
message
number nine the Ceph crisis series
aliens don’t always know what they’re
getting into when they invade earth but
it’s clear that the Ceph have done their
homework
a goopy squid-like race from an aquatic
environment they wear suits on earth for
mobility and protection although you can
sometimes see their tentacles sticking
out the back completely overpowering
Earth’s defenses the only real hope for
humanity may lie in using their own
technology against them
maximum awesome number eight the Fuhrer
on destroy all human series what you
don’t dig my groovy banana hammock fine
aliens are a pretty standard enemy in
video games but this humorous
action-adventure game lets you play as
them inspired by cheesy cold war-era B
movies you control gambling addict
crypto and it’s up to you to harvest as
much human DNA as you can you want to
get it for your fellow Hurons of course
but you can also use it to purchase
power-ups which improve your
disintegrator ray oh and as if you’re on
you can also read minds not to chevy not
at that time I try to remember what it
was I couldn’t remember remember she’s
number seven the Chimera resistance
series what was originally thought to be
mutated Russians turns out to be
something much more deadly
almost all the chimera that you’re
unlucky enough to see on earth are
actually hybrids of alien and human DNA
as they infect and convert their victims
into soldiers using a type of viral
mutation
although the chimera arrived on earth in
1908 in what was thought to be an
asteroid archaeological evidence
suggests that they had been here long
before that one of the soldiers a
sergeant suddenly woke up unlike the
other soldiers his body had no wounds at
all number six but Atkins
odd world series as opposed to almost
everyone else on this list these guys
aren’t bloodthirsty killers though they
were once odd world’s supreme race they
were eventually overcome by the gluttons
who enslaved the muttaqun to work in
their factories and now intend to use
them as their newest food product
there’s new kind of meat simple-minded
but friendly muttaqun z’ can change
color depending on their mood blue for
sad reddish for angry and green when
happy
number five vortigaunts half-life series
the combines reckoning has come this
classic FPS series has no shortage of
awesome aliens like the terrifying
combine from number two but since no one
really is sure what exactly those are we
stuck with what we know in the first
game
these guys are among the first enemies
gordon freeman encounters however his
actions end up freeing them from their
alien masters and in the second game any
that you come across will praise him as
their Savior
I will stabilize her if the free man
will provide us with protection whether
Friend or Foe oregon’s can admit psychic
rays to zap their enemies or even
recharge Gordon’s shield number 4
Rogen’s Mass Effect series they want a
fight they just got on there’s a lot of
alien species for Mass Effect that could
have made this list from the lovable
Alcor – the space refugees the quarians
but in the end we had to go with these
badass brutes whose warmongering nature
turned their homeworld up to chunk up
into a nuclear wasteland we destroy to
chunk ourselves technology changed us it
made life too easy so we looked for new
challenges and found them in each other
tragically they’re also a dying race as
the artificially introduced genophage
left most of their populations sterile
destroying sarin’s genophage cure freed
us from his manipulation still if you
get on their good side these hearted
warriors can also be really lovable
goofs especially this one with an
obsession perfect I ever heard you
talking about the fish on the Presidium
I’ll pay you a lot for it well you don’t
think I’m hungry
number three the Covenant halo series we
had a tough time choosing between these
guys and the parasitic flood but we
chose the Covenant because they serve as
a great analogy for religious fanaticism
when you first saw halo were you blinded
by its majesty they actually consist of
numerous races that have joined forces
some against their will to create a
powerful military alliance although
their impressive fleet of ships is
enough to make them feared throughout
the galaxy it’s their dedication to
their own religion that truly puts the
entire universe in danger it sure likes
this holy
winged release its cleansing flame and
burn a path into the divine beyond
pretty much number 2 Metroid’s the
Metroid series space pirates may look
cool but it’s the lore of the metroid
and the metaphor for upsetting the
balance of nature that gets them dis
high on the list with the lethal ability
to drain the energy from their hosts
reducing them to dust their viciousness
brings them right to the top of the food
chain on planet sr388 until samus went
in and wiped out all but one of them
Metroid’s are lethal their extinction
was a wise decision however it was
revealed in Metroid Fusion that the
chozo artificially created the Metroid
in order to keep an even deadlier
parasite known as the ex from spreading
across the galaxy before we unveil our
number one pick let’s take a look at
some horrible mentions
number one desert starcraft series
taking the top spot is this bunch of
ruthless arthropods although their
nemesis the Protoss are also mega cool
you gotta give credit to a race that
evolves its weapons and technology
instead of building them an amalgamation
of hundreds of other species every race
conquered by the Zerg pushes them closer
to the evolutionary perfection they seek
worlds combined with their vast numbers
it’s no surprise that they have become
one of the three dominant species in the
galaxy
