The Alien Outsider

In discussing the TV show meme we got talking about Aliens, and why do they always want to be human all the time. So I give ye all a challenge: tell me of some interesting aliens who don't want to be human, but are content to be just as alien as they are, while still interacting with humans. I expect one would get a lot more from books, though remember that the conditions of this search are aliens-that-are-working-with-humans, not ones that are content to be aliens because they're sitting off at home among their fellow aliens.

Here's my suggestions:

• The Doctor
  
• the occassional Vulcan who isn't Mr. Spock
  
• Cally
  
• the Tenctonese (in Alien Nation)
  
• Edger (giant turtle which turns up occassionally in the Liaden universe novels)

This isn't bad... azarsuerte would model herself after her favourite Stargate commander, mistraltoes would leave no medical stone unturned, lizbee can regale people with tales of squid so much that they get better just to get away from her (just teasing), drednort is so organized we'd always know where we were, grumpoldusenaut can glare at people and speak in a British accent (and she'll certainly brook no nonsense from the computers), kannaophelia would... make sure that Engineering looked pretty (ah well), and aizain is a very cool guy so this is good.
