Concept »
Extraterrestrials appear in many video games in a variety of styles. Sometimes they're evil, sometimes they're benevolent, and sometimes they're very similar to humans.
Games with stories that involve aliens invading another planet.
This concept occurs in many RPGs and Sci-Fi games. The Ancient Advanced Civilization Technology is often a giant weapon (Halo Rings, Giant of Babil, etc.) that becomes a major plot focus in the stories of these games.
Diseases are medical conditions that have a negative effect on one's body. Some games revolves around a disease.
A once-great race from the Elder Scrolls series, now extinct.
The Eldar are the oldest living race in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Analogous to Elves, they have "psyker" powers far beyond those of the younger races, and often use their far-sight and guile to manipulate the younger races to ensure the safety of their own species.
People of a different race or skin color, that are chastised and frowned upon for being different in culture or appearance.
When will those crazy scientists learn? Be it killer robots, invasions from outer space, sentient computers or mutations; they always seem to have the habit of leaving a big mess behind for you to clean up.
Extinction deals with a Species dying out either due to natural causes or more likely because of outside transgression.
The Fallen, also known as the Eliksni, are an insectoid alien race in the Destiny universe. They fled their homeworld after the Traveler abandoned them, and have taken up a war against humanity after rediscovering the Traveler in the Solar System.
Gabbits are a race of social creatures seen in the Oddworld series.
Genocide refers to killing on massive scale, often systematic and for political or religous reasons.
In the Mass Effect universe, the genophage was a biological weapon used against the Krogan race to severely halt their reproduction and cause their numbers to dwindle following the Krogan Rebellions.
Humans are bipedal, sapient primates capable of abstract reasoning, language, and emotions.
A race of reptilian humanoids that appear in Mass Effect. The Krogan were once a proud, powerful race of warriors with an astonishingly high birthrate. Their massive numbers eventually led to a series of conflicts known as the Krogan Rebellion. The species were eventually infected with a sterilizing genetic bioweapon.
Some characters are considered to be the only surviving member, usually of its species, but it could be used for other things like abilities (a planet could have one person left who can perform magic, etc.). Sometimes they quest to find other members.
The Lombax is an animal-like alien, who are nearly all extinct from the known galaxies. Ratchet is the only known surviving member of the species.
Ancient race of beings, one of the 'higher' races that were at their zenith at the same time as the Chozo. Natives of Aether, the Luminoth are nearly wiped out by the shadowy Ing in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
A mysterious, force-sensitive race in the Star Wars universe.
A peaceful race of friendly and somewhat clumsy bipeds native to Oddworld, the Mudokons were forced to abandon their ancient shamanistic traditions after being enslaved by the profit-hungry Glukkons.
An arachnid-like carnivore species native to Oddworld and worshiped by the Mudomo tribe of Mudokons.
Poaching is the act of killing or capturing animals illegally. These animals are protected by laws for various reasons including endangerment of extinction.
A humanoid race in the Star Wars Universe, they are an amphibian species who are native to the planet Lehon.
In the Dragon Ball Z franchise, the Saiyans (also known as Saiya-Jins) are a warrior race from the Planet Vegeta.
A viciously territorial predator species native to Oddworld and worshiped by the Mundanchee tribe of Mudokons.
War is a series of organized conflicts carried on by force of arms between two or more nations or groups. Whether it never changes or has already changed is up for debate.
