The Alien Outsider

[kerravonsen]

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)
