Is this thing actually a VUX? It seems a dracula-speaking cobra.

[ZarlaSheenaza]

This thing is an Lk, actually.

[Shavarnarak]

One of SC3's many bad/stupid ideas.

Actually where the Vux even generally xenophobic? I think they just had it in for humans (and species who looked like them since there was I think some mention of them finding the Androsynth ugly) in the REAL Star Control.

They might not even have been intended to hate ALL species.

[ZarlaSheenaza]

They disliked all humanoid races, which included the Syreen, Arilou, and Androsynth I think. I don't know if they mentioned anyone else specifically, but one can guess that while maybe not totally xenophobic, they probably aren't the easiest race to get along with. :O

this was filmed from the webcam from the computer in his bedroom lol thats what it looks like lol. this must be his blog lol.

@raakone And if you doggedly apologize to them in SC2, they admit that they were just looking for an excuse to start shooting when they first laid eyes on humanity.

@Nyarlathoteplol It's an LK, they are supposedly evolved from fungi found in Precursor caches on one planet, however the "fungi like" part is the only thing they have in common with that other fungoid, the Mycon. They just happen to know ABOUT the VUX. And they hiss their s's like snakes...and the rrroll their r's (rrrroll up the rrrrrim to win!)

[raakone]

@RRRX18 according to the instructions for both Star Control 1 and 2, it was because the VUX were able to translate stuff quite well, even when the humans assumed they were "off the record"...it was Commander Rand who made the statement "That's the ugliest thing ever"

[RRRX18]

@ZarlaSheenaza Some guy insulted the Vux's appearence and pissed them off. That's why they were nasty to humanoids.

[uraniumdeath]

They don't spring it on you until they have you tied up with that damn wedding band!

[airwolfman]

@uraniumdeath If you're married to a gal with that type of a vagina... dude. :D that must be true love :D

[uraniumdeath]

Well, you clearly aren't married!

[uraniumdeath]

Have you ever seen the King of the Hill episode, "Phish and Wildlife"?

They remind me of when Bill Dauterive joined the hippies, covered himself in mud and then a big poncho and called himself, "Energy Turtle", except Energy Turtle made a lot more sense than these beings...and they can keep their crappy ribbon, thank you very much!

[Mandemon1990]

My ears, they are bleeding!

[KorlaWolf]

So true about the unnessesary! The VUX are just fine the way they are!
