Jaal Ama Darav (Official Thread)

I keep wondering how far they can straighten their legs. Because the dudes would be rather tall if they could stand up straighter on them. It seems like the females are taller because their legs aren't as exaggeratedly bent.

I also wonder how much of their body is the harder, natural armor they seem to have on their heads. Is it only there? Do those head tentacles actually do anything? So much to think about!

I also really want to learn about the Angara's relationship with the Kett. Right now, I'm predicting that the Angara are the second most prominent and powerful race in the galaxy after Kett. And I'm thinking that they agree to help us because we can possibly help them against the Kett. I keep hoping beyond hope for grey area space politics where we can help, hurt, or completely screw over certain races in our quest to find our new Andromeda homeworld. It worries me a little that Archon seems so generic so far, but I'm still hoping!

What we know is legit is the Angara's name is Jaal, he carries a sniper rifle, his name is pronounced "JAW-l" by the devs and apparently has a butt that's so nice, it had to be repeated twice by a female dev.

Everything else is pure speculation based on hints/spoilers/teasers.

I'm looking foward to

The Angaran homeworld can be a good place to test the brand-new Thanix Cannons

u wot m8

P.S. (In all seriousness, you hurt the angara, you incur the wrath of the Jaalicle Cats)

I hope the Pandora-esque world isn't an indicator or anything 

I also hope we get to spent some time on their homeworld, before they have only given us small glimpses. Tuchanka had a bit more locations than the others, Thessia was already destroyed when we got there and just a scenic view from Palaven's moon on the Turian homeworld. To establish the Angarans as new species they will have to give us some background lore, best place to start would be their homeworld IMO.

As for their look, I think they never even showed us what Turian hands, for example, look like in the original trilogy, they always wore gloves. I am slighlty optimistic the Angaran's physical features are a bit more detailed. At least we know their butts are, if that is any indication.

It looks damn pretty. Getting Avatar vibes but hopefully far more interesting. That movie is overrated.

As long as it's missing the escaped prisoners, and it's not a freaking maze to get around in, it's all good.    I always liked that planet, looks wise. 

Doing a quick fanart dump in some threads. Jaal's turn

Convo options are good...as long as it is clear which option to pick to advance/not advance the romance.

I can see some Avatar but mixed with higher tech architecture, based on the little we see and on the concept art that seems to clearly be their home planet. If their planet is the one with the sky whales, I wonder if they have a culture around those too.
