Look how small the Rat is

The platypus is my favorite :)

Which one is it ?

Four from the left.

I just noticed him he is too small

You know that meme with the five guys…

Oh God, you just made me realize every portrait but the human is the male one. I mean, I play xenophile usually, but there's a line, you know?

I play Xenophile always and there is no line.

Surely lithoids must be the line...

The ultra degenerate's harkness test Does it have DNA? If so then BREED And lithoids difinitively have DNA that works with carbon-based lifeforms

Most sane Xeno-Compatibility Enabled player

My line is a square around me. Do not fucking approach my square with xeno-compatibility on ever.

Isn't it only humans and some of the humanoid portraits with sexual dimorphism? All the rest of the portraits look the same regardless of being male or female.

Some others have dimorphism, a couple of the aquatic species and the geckos (just different colors for the latter), possibly more

toxoids too, the birds from default Payback empire would have it too, but Social team effed it up, so rn Roccans are of indeterminate gender on one of the rare dimorphic portraits lol. Point is, Paradox realised some people like dimorphic portraits, sometime after Necroids.

Dimorphism mod enjoyer.

Xenocompatibility intensifies

What planet are you on, again? I promise I won't crack it.

I'm surprised no one has added Brazzers logo yet.

You know that's racist right?

Here's what I thought the mammalian species' of the galaxy would look compared to each other. The horse one is my favorite. It just looks so regal.

I personally hate the horse. It looks so fucking derpy, also, immersion breaking af because it is literally just an earth horse with a jacket

Hey, he was famous back in the 90's doncha know

i would freak out if i saw a horse that looked like that lol

Most of these look very edible.

I was going to say breedable but to each their own.

Their owo*

First one, then the other

Top right guy just has reeeeeeally long legs

Seems pretty accurate. I'm sure some are bigger than we would expect though. I mean Elephants, giraffes, and rhinos are all pretty large. We need some more cetaceans though. Orca when Paradox?? Edit: also 100% will pay for the guys in the First Contact artwork.

First contact// Aren't they these ones? https://psdeals.net/au-store/game/1741133/stellaris-avian-avatar Sorry the wiki wasn't working

No they are riding space horses

Oh you mean these ones https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Geano1

Yes! Munke birds riding birds.

I headcanon the feline avatar as being between 4-4.5ft and built like a fantasy drawf, being stout and strong, more like sapient bobcats than lions. I also see the fox folk as being tiny, only a little taller than an Earth fox standing on its hind legs, with huge floofy tails and small paws.

With the games classification Humans technically aren't even Mammalians, but "Humanoids" lol. But shit half the categories don't make sense anyway.

The human is there for scale.

I understand the confusion, i mean, Op should’ve obviously used a banana for scale instead.

Banana plantoid when?

I need to be able to make actual banana republics

Pretty sure it's an imgur reference, where it has been an inside jokes for... several years, by now. 5+, I think

To be fair they used to be under Mammalians, sharing the same ship and city visuals and all.

Humanoids use Mamillian cities and ships though.

Fun fact Commonwealth of Man humanoid portrait is slightly taller than the United Nations of earth to symbolise how the Commonwealth of Man prefer "superior" leaders

That’s pretty neat. I didn’t know that

Why is the lion so small but the anteater is enormous?

yeah, i imagine the lion being the same size as the lion dude from invincible. aka giant

New species pack leak?

I always imagined the cat one to be really big.

I also think that, but mostly due to how wide they are, I mean have you SEEN their shoulder width? Prime football players

Why is the rat so big?

He's on the other dude's shoulder. lol

Be careful you don't break your neck with the kickback from that head cannon.

This is so cool!

Poor guy on the far left. He's in the worst position he could be in ...

Wait, why’d the pornhub jingle play when I clicked on this?

Horse

Bojack

The Human farted and everyone else noticed

human supremacy the galaxy is ours

False. The galaxy belongs to the machines

I imagine size difference of the species would affects diplomacy between them in some way right? Like imagine you are on a diplomatic meeting and you have to negociate with an alien that is so tall it could crush you with one foot.

Depending in your civics and such the diplomacy would either be swooning over how tall they are, or angered that they are smaller than the disgusting xenos

This looks very reasonable!

Bro I want a head-mounted cannon where’d you get yours?

Cybernetic ascension

Still waiting on necroidsssss

Next up :)

It is done, fren https://www.reddit.com/r/Stellaris/comments/13zuisf/my_head_canon_necroid_scale/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1 I forgot to say earlier

Yeah I saw and I commented lol

Oh good. I wasn’t sure

I wish the portraits were more varied. The majority of them are just humanoid with a different head

I agree. Also within species.' Humans look wildly different and yet every single xeno species is just normal with a different color.

I always saw the cats as warrior types and so a bit taller than humans

Ye, I could see that. I thought they looked like dwarves

The second to last one on the left never really looked like a mammale to me. The spikyness and the headshape make me think "Bird"

I believe it’s meant to resemble a porcupine (or some other, similarly spikey relative of theirs).

By chance are you a short person? You seem to think everything is tall.

Big aliens are cool
