Alien Blood: Difference between revisions

** The krogan have another odd variant on blood, as well. They don't actually have a nervous system made up of nerve cells; rather, they have a ''second'' circulatory system consisting of an electrically conducive fluid that runs through their body. As a result, krogan cannot be paralyzed. This physical trait was evolved by just about every species on Tuchanka, the krogan's [[Death World|homeworld.]]

** Shown in practice in ''[[Mass Effect]] 2'', when {{spoiler|Garrus}} gets shot during his recruit mission, and bleeds blue all over the floor, and is later seen with purple scar-tissue over third of his face, mostly covered with cybernetics.

** This is a reference to ''[[Policenauts]]'', where the "Frozeners" also have white artificial blood, called "first-generation" blood, which is said to be simpler than the "third-generation" blood used on Home (Earth). It's also said to transport oxygen more efficiently than regular blood, making blood loss less of a threat.

* The aliens (and the cockroaches, which is [[Truth in Television]], see below) in ''[[Half-Life (series)|Half-Life]]'' bleed light yellow.
