BioWare have announced that Mass Effect: Andromedawill include new alien races, including the Kett to the Andromeda Galaxy. With a few new alien faces set to make an appearance in the new Mass Effect, we take a look at which of our beloved species will be returning from the previous games.

Mass Effect Salarians

These warm-blooded amphibians are native to the planet Sur’Kesh and the second species to join the deep space station, the Citadel. They have a hyperactive metabolism and are quick to act. They were behind the creation of the Krogan species, that were used as soldiers.

Mass Effect Krogans

A reptilian warrior, the Krogans are a loyal race, which served alongside the original Mass Effect hero, Commander Shepard. One of the tougher alien races that form the Citadel Council, they are durable, adaptable and resilient.

Mass Effect Asari

Native to the planet Thessia, the Asari were the first to settle on the Citadel. They are intelligent, diplomatic and well respected. An Asari was also instrumental in the success of Commander Shepard’s defeat of the Reapers in the Mass Effect trilogy.

Mass Effect Turians

Originally from the planet Palaven, the Turian are the newest alien race in the Mass Effect world and the newest species to join the Citadel Council, due to their brave defeat of rogue Krogans. They are honourable and self-disciplined in combat and militaristic in their views.
