About The Races: The Drell 

"Kai Lang should be embarrassed. A terminally ill drell managed to stop him from killing his target." Rest in peace Thane.

Thane was such a badass that, on his deathbed, he stopped the cerberus assassin Kai Leng from killing his target.

"galactic heartthrobs" ah mass effect, making us realize that it's truly the personality that counts

Anyone find it more than coincidence that the Drell's idea of the afterlife involves a vast ocean... and they were uplifted by the Hanar? And now they're chilling on an ocean planet?

I still don't understand how those jellyfish even built anything...

Drell kick ass so bad. I wish the next ME games gave players more diversity in terms of picking a character out of all the races and giving each race special abilities. I'd play as Drell.

didn't thane say that the drell more commonly believe what the hanar believe now? isn't he one of few who keep with the old drell beliefs?

I remember playing as a Drell in the multiplayer. They're fast, but squishy.

I cried when thene i grew a deep friendship with him he will be missed

It was so odd to hear another guy refer to the Drell as eye candy lol So odd.. but wonderful. Drell are definitely awesome eye candy hahah

All time favorite mass effect race. I just love their theology. Just their look in general I like. Based on thane and his son, I'd like to assume they have had a grasp on their voice which I very much enjoy.

Oh the Drell, how I love this species. Such a unique culture, such a tragic backstory, such beautiful features. I really really hope the Drell are gonna be in Andromeda.

definitely the most tragic race, Thx for doing this. could u do the batarians or vorcha next?

I dwell on the Drell

I find it hard to believe in a setting where someone can be brought back to life after being dead for two years and they can't cure essentially space tuberculosis/emphysema >__>;

he's right, the drell have multiple planets yet we've only seen a few through out the entire series...

Little late to the video but I see the drell as a terrifying yet calming species due to them being very simple and to the point with everything they do. If anything they terrify me more than krogans because they're intelligent enough and fast enough thinkers to attack any weakness they spot and utilize any tool they have to get an upper hand, just imagine Thane probably knew a dozen ways to kill a krogan with a pillow and none include the typical smothering.

Any one wounder why they don't just wear masks to filter out the moisture

We need the Hanar explained! 🤗 Awesome videos, thanks for making them!

I like to RP that my mShep was already married when ME1 began, to a drell doctor that works on Earth in Arizona(or some area around there). He has similar colouring to Thane, much to the confusion of poor lil shep who sometimes calls Thane the cutesy pet names shep made for his husband out of habit. It amuses Thane terribly. I could never really let my shep romance anyone in game because it might have felt like he was cheating on his poor frog prince. I know, I know, it sounds silly...

how come they focused more on the genophage than their disease? #drelllivesmatter

So Thane is Hit.....seems legit.

The Drell are cool af. A shame there weren't more of them in the games.

One of my hopes is that at least 5 or more Drell play important or memorable roles in Mass Effect Andromeda. Another is that half of them are female with or without an active compact with a Hanar. And finally; although the true end of ME3 is an intentional mystery cliffhanger, I hope a colony of a few hundred or a couple of thousand compact-less Drell colonized on a few new planets similar to Rakanah in atmosphere, climate and temperature. But with underground rivers and oceans of fresh water and mining ships to collect ice and minerals from space. After all I'm sure the Krogan DMZ is soon to become the Krogan Federation or Confederacy or something. It seems only fair that other loyal or capable races get their shot at expansion. Technically that's what ME: A is gonna be about. Pertaining to Protheans though, I don't know if Javik could turn in his beam rifle and armor for a lab coat and a laboratory kit to start over his species. He seemed pretty sure that he was gonna find a dark place far away and finish the extinction the Reapers began.

i wanna see the yahg. please

I love the way they talk, sounds so damn good!

One of my three favorite squad mates, who uses a sniper

when Mass Effect: andromeda(MEA) comes out will you guy do About The Races vids?

Awesome video! Thank you!!

They are just so interesting to me

You messed up You said barely a few thousand Drell left There is a few hundred thousand left According to a Conversation with Thane

I wouldn’t mind if BioWare allowed us to be an of the main alien species we want. It would be cool to be a drell, or Krogan, etc… I’m curious at what the story for the next mass effect would be. I’ve seen people talk about the first contact war game but I would rather have a new game after the mass effect trilogy even if it was hundreds of years after. Suck Andromeda wasn’t done better cause that could of been a great starting off point.

another fantastic video.

Couldn't the drell live on tuchanka??? or any other similar arid planet?

The Vorcha!

wholesome jellyflish saved the lizzards

Drell

I think you should do the salarians next after all they did have a big hand in starting and ending both the rachni wars and the krogan rebellions and ending. plus the salarian STG is pretty bad ass.

The drell and Salarians are my favorite races in the game. The drell for their beliefs and the instinct to kill The salarians for the intelligence and the fact they are some sneaky sons of bitches.

I like how the monotone droning brings me back to listening to high school book reports being read in front of the class...

well the drell are awesome

You see 4 actually theres one at omega in mass effect 3 at the dlc for omega.

another great video.

A great twist would be if we found out that the hanar actually ruined the drells homeworld in order to pretend to save them and create a slave race.

They remind me of the Zora from legend of Zelda

Drell is my favourite race as they are so so cool! please do batarian next! ugly bunch but I find them cool

Drell are nothing but eye candy for me

amazing

LOL so... super-advanced Space faring civilizations ... and they, over the course of a decade, managed to move a whole 375,000 people... Such technologies.

Do the hanar! :P

About the Races Ralio the newest species in Mass Effect

Let's see how well a poll works. Vote for your favourite race out of these options for "About The Races". strawpoll.de/5cxegfs P.S Geth and Salarians are the next two hence, not an option

you're awsome, keep up th good work!

drelly the drell

How do fish people live on an arid dessert planet?

i vote for the Elcor

Ive got like a million useless credits how do i fund the keppler sydrom fund?

Let's face it we love the drell because of thane

Lol so the drell can also live on tuchanka

where the hell do you find the Drell homeworld? I didn't know that it was in the game?

1:14 what do you mean by that?

Geth plz. And love your lore vids.

I hope they survive into andromeda

how do they have a god of the oceans if they live on a desert planet?

where the vorcha love at lol

about the races: reapers or leviathans?

So in the Rakhana text it says 2000 CE and then you say that the evacuation was in 980 CE. Something is wrong. 😂

Can you go in depth on the Rachni? The games are pretty vague on them :/ I don't even know if other players like them but I've got a really big soft spot for them.

Vorcha for days

my favourite race is pacific islander!

Geth please

85+ views and zerod dislikes, that's awesome

Exotic species

i think the drell are pretty cool. not my my kind of eye candy, but each their own i guess lol. not a big fan on how their religion is though. it makes them seem irresponsible for any bad thing they do, it kinda turned me away from thane. by the way, isn't it kinda weird that they live in dry and desert environments, yet their version of heaven involves an ocean?

I can't help but think that Earth may end up the same way as Rakhana unless we humans make major changes. No jellyfish to recue us either RIP Thane Krios

Siha

Religions actually don't require deities. Buddhism, for example, doesn't state that Buddha is a god. Some people do worship him as such, but many don't.

Mmm. Drell women.:3

Tbh, even though I klicked on this video, I am weirdly uninterested in the Drell. Maybe because there was only three of them. But tbh, I'd rather have it that way than finding out that my bois the krogans are reptiles instead of super-buff snails. THAT was what I call disappointing. What next? The thurians are reptiles as well instead of crustations? PLEASE dont take this illusion from me.

Andromeda ending spoilers Well at least they got an ark.

I've never seen a female Drell, so it's kind of hard to call them eye candy.

"No religion is complete without a God" *buddhists laughing in the distance*

When I did a femshep play through I absolutely slammed thane

I never liked there look, I love the assassin character very much, but not the weird frog look

Anyone else notice that all three Drell are literally the exact same model just with different textures? Kinda lazy Bioware, kinda lazy....

"No religion is complete without a god" Common misconception bro. Gods and religion is not synonymous. Just take a look at the eastern religions like Taoism. Even something like shintoistic gods weren't prayed to or asked for advice, they were just metaphysical representations for junk. Example: They didn't pray to amaterasu for more sunlight for their crops.

love the video but so stupid to give spoilers to the video games but not talk about the comics bc of spoilers

Drell lore is bs. Arid planets should logicaly have MORE natural resources in the form of minerals than any other kind of planet

Hate Drell, hate Thane, hate his spiritual BS, hate his son, hate his guts.

eye candy
