Name your favorite TOS alien

[TLOZ Lover]

Just think of it.....You've been invited to a Halloween party, and the entire TOS costumes & props department is at your disposal! You look over the mouthwatering array of aliens and creatures set before you like a giant smorgasbord. Which famous alien costume will you choose?

Will you come as the Salt Creature? How about the Gorn? Or Yarnek? Maybe you and a friend could come as the weird chicken creatures Sylvia & Korob! TOS has a number of bizarre aliens we remember fondly, so which is your favorite? The Mugatu is mine with its blood curdling scream--gives me the creeps just thinking about it! Remember the Horta? And don't forget the Talosians with their butt-shaped heads! (The Vians might be distant cousins of theirs). Maybe you prefer coming as a giant Tribble! The choice is yours!

 

[Spock's Barber]

Hmmmm....tough choice, but I've always liked this alien dude :

 

[T'Grinch]

A hot Romulan male.

 

[Scotchy]

Loskene the Tholian.

The green, pink-haired ambassador from "Elaan of Troyius" is my favourite TOS alien. Where'd they find this guy, he's so over-the-top? His delivery is liquid gold! He cracks me right the hell up ...

"... but THESE are your RUBY slippers!!!"

 

[Kevman7987]

The Balok puppet.

 

[Greysun]

Hmmm.... The Lights of Zetar, Ambassador Kollos or the Thasian would be interesting.
Otherwise, I'd just be Apollo and we could have a toga party with Plato's Stepchildren.

 

[Balok's Decoy]

The Balok puppet.

I AM NOT A PUPPET, I AM A DECOY.

Also Sarek. And Marta.

Mugatu is also my favorite alien... but if I could dress in any alien outfit it would be the Imorg ones. I've mentioned that over-the-knee, halter-top boot combo with wrap mini-skirt before... they're awesome. Not to mention the wrist controller thingummy.

 

[Spock's Barber]

I AM NOT A PUPPET, I AM A DECOY.

....and you drive a huge, glowing disco ball spacecraft.

 

[Balok's Decoy]

....and you drive a huge, glowing disco ball spacecraft.

Darn tootin. Lt. Bailey and I party like it's 1977.

My favorite TOS alien is not very 'alien-ish', but its technology is though... The Doomsday Machine's - the Doomsday Machine. Just the concept of a a huge technological terrifying planet-eater beast is amazing!!

 

[Richard Baker]

Korob and Sylvia - these little creatures were sent on a mission of conquest and raised all kinds of hell, not bad for something about four inches tall. I also love the fact they are rally alien in design instead of the traditional person in a suit or funny forehead.

 

[Smoked Salmon]

I could pick half a dozen favourites because I was always more in favour of the exotic aliens, with a couple of good suggestions already above...and I think it is something that later Treks have missed the boat on to their detriment.

 

[J.T.B.]

I AM NOT A PUPPET, I AM A DECOY.

"No puppet! You're the puppet!"

 

[Leviathan]

Dikironium Cloud creature

 

[UnknownSample]

Which alien would I name? The female Romulan Commander. 'Cause she needs a name.

 

[Spock's Barber]

I guess only Spock knows her first name....

 

[Armus]

The green, pink-haired ambassador from "Elaan of Troyius" is my favourite TOS alien. Where'd they find this guy, he's so over-the-top? His delivery is liquid gold! He cracks me right the hell up ...

"... but THESE are your RUBY slippers!!!"

He's in a Buck Rogers episode with Gil Gerard!

 

[UnknownSample]

That guy is practically a Dr. Smith...
