Exploring Neal Asher's Prador Aliens: Do You Have Any Fave Aliens in Fiction?

[QUOTE="sbrothy, post: 6869202, member: 172578"] I remember reading an excerpt (posted on 4chan of all places!) where one alien exasperated describes humans to another alien as dangerous freaks of nature. Unfortunately I haven't succeed in finding it again, and ofcourse asking on 4chan is just silly. It goes something like this: "They breathe an explosive gas we use in our rockets as fuel (ie oxygen), drink a posionous nervetoxin we use as a solvent in many chemical syntheses (ie ethanol) - FOR FUN! They carry multiple infectious airborne pathogens which would kill us outright (ie the common cold etc)). Just now one escaped his cell and managed to kill several guards with his bare hands even though he was naked. We had to electrocute him several times to subdue him". It's ofcourse silly as convergent evolution will probably see to it that any species who becomes the dominant predator on their homeworld will be a nasty piece of work (there are only so many ways to be a shark after all), and humans are pretty squishy. We don't even have any natural armor to speak of. Buy maybe someone here will recognize the gist of it.... [/QUOTE]
