TRIVIA TUESDAY: When creating the concept for the all-females asari the designers looked to the real world for inspiration. The teardrop crest of the asari's scalp was based on the long hair of a woman stepping out of water, the way hair sleeks back when soaking wet resembles the cartilage hair tentacles of the asari.

  • I thought the gerudo from LOZ inspired them because there both pretty much all female.

  • That would be silly. The inspiration for the race themselves was the green female aliens from Star Trek. Also the designers did draw up a male asari but it didn't look very good so they abandoned it in favor of making them all female

  • The Asari reminds me of a mix of Vulcan and Orion women, both from Star Trek.

  • But those Orions from Star Trek have even less resemblance.
