Basically just pick your fav aliens and explain why.
I picked Hork-Bajir because they live in trees and eat bark. ;)
-
howlers. they're kids having fun. although their idea of fun needs a little tuning.
-
I picked Leeran because they're cool and they're all--psychic, and stuff. :P
-
I love Andalites. They're awesome. Hork-Bajir are pretty cool too. I wish we had seen more of the Garatrons though. That one time appearance in #37 was way too short.
-
oh yeah...you forgot to add the garatrons. I would've so picked them.
-
I'd pick the Andalites. (Hear that mighty Andalites? Please come and give me morphing power!) ;D
-
I like the Andalites the most. Not that they need to read that.
-
I added Garatrons just now.
-
hork-bajir... no contest
-
hork-bajir... no contest
Yeah! *High fives Foamy*
Great minds think alike...
-
great...the problem is, you didn't allow the option of changing votes.
-
I like the hork-bajir. I like how they live in the trees. They're like ewoks with blades.
-
Leerans, because they are psychic frogs, come on :P
-
Howlers, total toughness, coupled with a jolly good time.
Yes they're mass murderers but hey, they are awesome incarnated.
Though yes, who can say no to a psyhic frog :P
-
Andalites: They can move and strike fast. They're very diffucult to sneak up on, unless it's dark or something. They also have thoughtspeak. Should morphing count, since it's not a natural ability?
Hork-Bajir: A destructive force, but with a peaceful attitude. Speak softly, but carry a big stick. Very good climbers.
Ketran: Maybe a few too many appendages, but it's a sentient bird species. Not too bad.
Howlers: These guys are even more wicked than Hork-Bajir, and they have collective minds.
Yeerks: On one hand, their bodies are nothing impressive. On the the hand, they can control almost any sentient creature, and a few nonsentient ones.
-
i voted howlers cause they are the best fighters :]
-
I want to change my vote
-
well i know you can on this forum system, idk if you can choose to not let people though
-
you can. you have to check a box if you want to let people change votes. for some reason by default, it's unchecked.
-
I always liked the Venber for their artic-ness and the mutation that the Visser made. But I'll go with Mercora. They just sound rediculous, like Applegates' imaginations were going nuts. How can we jack up a crab? Make them all crazy with arms and legs. And of course, the ever present broccoli.
-

Tell me how to change the poll. I tryed but I can't get it to work. All I saw was something that said reset the vote.

Oh, I forgot to add them in the poll, sorry. I guess I should make an "other" category, lol.
-
Leerans, because they are psychic frogs, come on :P
Finally, someone who aggrees. :P
-
My favorites are Andalites and Hork Bajir, I just think they're the coolest there. The Helmacrons were hillarious, too, so they'd get honorable mention on my list ;)
-
the helmacrons are downright last with me. way too big egos.
-
I loved the Hork-Bajir, but I picked the Yeerks, because I'm predictable like that ;D Megalomaniacal slugs. What's not to love? x3
-
Pemalite, since they're basically sentient puppies.
-
Awww. Little puppies, lol. With little paws and big brown eyes that wait for you to come home from school. Awwwww. So cute. Ha ha.
The Pemalites were probably so cute looking that you'd forget they weren't real dogs, and were really so smart building holograms and all that jazz.
I wish my dog could do that.
-
Leerans, because they are psychic frogs, come on :P
Finally, someone who aggrees. :P
Hehe yea :)
I like Hork-Bajir and Andalites alot too
-
Psychic Frogs FTW!
-
W...what?!!! Viss... Esplin!!! You voted Howlers...??!!!
But...then...who else voted Yeerks?!
-
someone who didn't post here?
-
I think so ^_^
-
Andalites -- they're so intelligent and those tails are awesome.
I also have a special thing for Taxxons...but Andalites are better.
-
But...then...who else voted Yeerks?!
Meeee, crazy parasite lover ^^;
-
lol and you, you love parasites who love @_@
And yes, I'm a Yeerks-lover ;)
Andalites are intelligent... but not really wise...
And look... May be Andalites are intelligent, and have a very good technology. It's true, it's wonderful! (I also like Andalites ;) ) but they needed a lot of years... of century for that. Even them said that Humans need less...
Look at the Yeerks now. They didn't know to build anything (or about anything), they didn't know there were stars in the sky... then they meet Andalites... and in few years only they understood how to use the Andalite technology, they copy it, and they even change it to suit them more...
Andalites are the most intelligent... but Yeerks learn really too quickly ^_^'
And neither of them is the wiser... The wiser is... Ellimist, I guess! lol
PS: Really, Katherine and Michael did a good serie... every species have good parts and bad parts... every one have "defects" and "qualities"... Many choices, and look, about everybody vote for a different one! lol
-
Hehehe, yes, that's all the Yeerks want...is to be loved! Just give 'em a big hug and the war's over! ;D
That's more like the Howlers I guess... ??
I loved how no one species was pure good or evil, even the Taxxons had rebels who helped in the end. Yay, good hearted giant centipedes!
-
Looks like the Andalites are going to win.
-
Filthy grass eaters. Go ahead and win some more! ;D
-
Yeerks ftw!!!!!
-
I love the Andalites, they're so intelligent and efficient in battle. Then the Hork bajir, Ketrans and Leerans are also very cool.
-
Hork-Bajir. :hork: They're just so sweet and innocent. It's hard not to love them.
-
I voted Ketrans. Personally I don't really care for the Andalite's unadaptable mindset or their prejudice against vecols. My choice for favourite alien species is not just about fighting potential (which for Ketrans was virtually non-existent). They're not massively technologically advanced and only 1 member actually advanced further than any other.
They have an interesting occupational caste society and due to their almost symbiotic relationship with their crystal environment they have developed a supportive community. "Lift for all". Unlike the Yeerks who have no qualms with usurping other species' lives or betraying each other for their own selfish benefits. Yeerks even callously destroy their environment.
The Ketran also have advanced games! I think a species that doesn't develop games or entertainment is rare. (Where entertainment equates to art form too.) The Andalites have their tail blade practice (game), their pride (self-sacrifice) for their species and they take joy in looking after their environment. In their natural states, Yeerks just...swim I guess for entertainment. Even non-sentient races like lion cubs play with each other. Yeerks in their natural state are quite limited.
The Hork Bajir I look on as similar to Howlers. Both are capable fighters but both end up being pawns because of their lack of intelligence. The Leeran and Mecora are on the opposite ends. Both intelligent species (one through telepathy the other scientific endeavour) however they're less capable physically. These 4 species I treat more with pity than favour.
The Ketrans are one of the very few sentient flying races which I think makes them value freedom. Living with an extra dimension (as opposed to land species with just 2D movement for the most part) means you also think more open mindedly. Obviously, I would consider them highly intelligent which is one of the virtues I quite value.
I do also like the Pemalites and Chee but sadly we don't really know too much about them.
Obviously since we're only human, there are definite aspects to each of these species that we can relate to (otherwise Applegate really would have an alien imagination!) The Ketrans to me have the most positive aspects of humanity, our scientific curiosity, adaptability, our entertainment/arts, and an idealistic caring social nature without the need to destroy the environment or put one's own agenda ahead of the community. Maybe such extreme idealism exist only in fiction. The only other species like the Ketran were the Pemalites and both species end up being wiped out.
Just out of curiosity, who else voted Ketran?
-
I like Kafid bird. I just love birds.
But out of intelligent aliens, then andalites. They're cool
-
Andalites ftw.
-
Hork-Bajir's were always cool..
-
Andalites and Leeran. :)
-
Yeerks ftw
-
Voted Yeerks. Though I think it switches sometimes. XP
-
Andalites, definitely. They're just.... really, really cool. With the centaur like thing and the tail, and the thought speak. I love them.
