Alien names.

[Wolfboy]

What do you think the ACTUAL names of the aliens is, like what they called themselves before they were conqured, or what the Ethereals called them?

Manny the Muton and Finn the Floater.

I meant species names. But those are clever.

There`s not even an indication or logical pathway to arrive at that answer. It`s impossible to answer in any way other than "lolimsowitty"

You mean like how the iron-chested bird-people from Palevan call themselves Turians? Yeah, I always wondered what these aliens called themselves! It would be interesting if we got more lore behind them.

Zerkers ain`t got ♥♥♥♥ on the sheer rage that permeates every fiber of my being. It`s like being Magnus the Red trying to talk to a particularily unintelligent Ogryn.

But are the Alien names we know of (Muton, Floater) etc actually what the Ethereals refer to them as?

If I remember correctly from the Autopsy cutscenes, it's Vahlen that says something like this

"... that the troops fondly refer to as the "Muton"..."

Or

"At this time, the "Cyberdisc", as our troops have been calling it, is both heavilly armoured and armed..."

Sectoids were called 'Asx4^ss's'

Yeah, that's pretty much unpronounceable for humans.

Well, she says the TROOPS are calling them that, it never says that the ethereals use those names.

Not QUITE that angry.

For the Ethereals, given that these are clones, the Ethereals either name their soldiers with ridiculous pet names like most XCOM commanders, or they refer to them as "Soldier #1", or "Operative #1", utilizing a productionline/object label since the alien soldiers lack any personality due to their cloned and indoctrinated nature.

As for their original names, those are lost to the mists of time. There's so much we don't know. Sectoids could have been normal, humanoid beings before the Ethereals!
The only alien species we know A LOT about is the Mutons, since there are multiple references to a tribal, simplistic society. I don't think they were even at the age to classify themselves as a species if they were that primitive.

I meant species names. But those are clever.

They just took one sample from the Muton race, grabbed some prime DNA and made clones.

they probably just grabbed a football team actually. so....Tom.

But they were a tribal species. I doubt they would have football.
