I voted for 2 ...
The Droyne: Because I think they are underestimated. Even without psionic training they have a natural ability called Invisibility (Alien Module 5 p15). Imagine how useful that would be for a Droyne sport working as a spy!
The Zerp: Originally from Group One's "Theta Borealis" sector booklet, I have a lost offshot IMTU as a minor race on Yori (called the Zherphani). Think of the physique of the Unas from Stargate SG-1 but with a religious slant like Rev Bem in Andromeda.

Always thought the Llellewyloly should have been a playable race.
So did I. But are they your faves?

I actually think the K'kree's area of space has something to do with this. From what I know about the K'kree, I like them. I think they're a "cool" alien to have in the game.
But, I've always played my Traveller campaigns (all of them, for 25+ years now) in the Spinward Marches. I've never had a campaign outside of that sector? Why? All the support the SM has. The adventures I've chosen to play were always set there. I always wanted to play in the Solomani Rim, but I never made it there.
Thus, I've had little reason to read up on the K'kree. They haven't been focal in the Marches. Now, the Droyne, the Vargr, the Zho's, and the Aslan...yeah, those I know more about because...yep, you guessed it...they're more common in the Marches.

I suspect that what you say is actually true, S4.
Personally, whilst I have Reffed and played in the SM in the (dim and distant) past, my game focus has predominantly been more to Trailing/Rimward - SC/HF sort of region (especially Spica ). Even with the K'kree being next door to the HF in my chosen area of Charted Space, I've never really been inspired by the K'kree in any way.
This is possibly because We Kicked Their A**es.

Woof. Wuff? Grrrrrrr-ROWROWROWROW!
I too find it surprising about the popularity of the Dogg...uhm, Vargr. Perhaps it's that "man's best friend" thing......... :devil:
Indeed, 'tis a veritable boiling pot of diverse opinions and ideas here aboutsInteresting, the Vargr have gotten a lot of votes. In the local group the Vargr were not well liked. This is one reason I love this forum, to see how various people have looked at the same game and seen different things.

Out of all of the races, I do visually like them best.

Hivers definately get my nod as the most "alien" of the PC aliens in the OTU.
