Out of all the alien species you've encountered in science fiction--books, movies/tv, games--who would you say are your favorites?
For me...
Pilots, Leviathans, & Ancients - FS
Gaim & n'grath's race - B5
Asgard & Re'tu - SG
Thranx - Alan Dean Foster's Humanx Commonwealth
Hrruban - Anne McCaffrey's Doona
Xindi-Insectoid, Xindi-Aquatic, Space Jellyfish ("EaF"), Gomtuu, Tholian, Gorn, Species 8472, & Saurian - ST
I've got a thing for insectoid and space dwelling lifeforms.

B5: Vorlons
Star Trek: Naussican
Star Wars: Feeorin
Aliens, Predators (but not 'Aliens vs. Predators...) Orcs from LOTR.
Hmmm, I seem to like cryptic and/or brutish bipeds in general...

Freman from Dune. Self made kick ass humans. Not sure if they really count as alien...

Tough one. I guess I have to go with the "gods" and the Great Old Ones from H. P. Lovecraft. I also really liked the Diaboli from Isaac Asimov's "In a Good Cause-"
I also have to give an honorable mention to the Martians from Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles and to Douglas Adams' Vogons.
