Which race do you like the most?

[Alectron]

Stellaris allows us to choose one of the 6 "phenotypes", or types of races. Those are:
Avian - birdlike races.
Fungoid - races of fungus.
Mammalian - mammals. Also, humans are part of them.
Reptilian - reptiloid races.
Molluscoid - mollusc races.
Insectoid - the one we haven't been shown yet, bugs/insects

So, which race do you prefer the most? I personally, like fungoid, for their unique structure and shape. Insectoid are as well sound quite fun to play.

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.

Molluscoid to be specific, that way I can say I'm the descendant of the Great Old Ones and spread their righteousness across the sector.

 

[Jerree17]

I feel like the first species I make will either be fungoid or molluscoid in nature, though I'm leaning toward a fungoid type because of how different they should be/Mycon nostalgia from Star Control 2.

Now you made me wanting a crystalline species.

 

[Demarque]

Reptilians, so that I can conquer Earth and make that silly conspiracy become true.

 

[Alpacayak]

I hope the fungoids apparent arachnid faces aren't just a coincidence. I want to decimate the insectoids with my army of fungal spiders.

Failing that, molluscoids.

I see that Paradox is following Disney in chasing the furry demographic.

Yes! I'm hoping that we'll see something like that in future phenotypes, all will bow before the superior intellect of the crystalline philosophers. I'd also be a big fan of some exotic aquatic types so I can spread the light of the Enkindlers as a Hanar lookalike.

 

[Poh]

Insectoid if theres a moth type
Otherwise i think Fungoid and Molluscoid looks the most interesting. But it'll also depend on things like ship design etc.

 

[Jango40]

Fungoid

 

[wolffrnd]

Mammalian-cat people. I like cats.

 

[Solaria1220]

Avian and Molluscoid are may faves at the moment but I really want to see what the Insectoid one looks like before I really choose.

 

[ashbery76]

Insectoid is the unannounced 7th race pre order dlc.

 

[EldarPanic]

Insectoid

 

[delra]

What about machine and other manufactured factions? Robots, clones, AIs? What of guys who take up a form of a mist, a stone, a lake or a bush or whatever. How about a faction where citizens can have any form they want to so it's a chaos of different forms rather than one specific form. Be creative, Paradox.

 

[Oliver Twopence]

Fungoid sounds very cool and interesting.

 

[Aquan]

My first choice will be plain old humans. I really look forward to let my human empire fight those pesky insectoids.
However, I'm also intrigued by avians.

I just hope, that not all the races will be humanoid/bipedal. There are great examples of more "alien" species to be found in many science fiction books.

 

[TheAtreides84]

I love aquatic invertebrates. I remember a scientist discovering an octopus who crawled outside its lab vat at night just for the pleasure of murdering the fishes in the other vats. They should dominate this galaxy, I say.

 

[Freezy]

Space Kittens

 

[Finalsong]

Glorious Human master species. To conquer all/most of the aliens. Genocide may or may not be included.
