They're still friendly though, just strange. Inscrutable Aliens: The Spire don't quite "get" living with other races, mostly because they're just so far advanced compared to everyone else.The Thoraxians are serious business all the time but even they find time for a few gags. Humanoid Aliens: Some races are humanoid, but there are no humans to be had at all.The Thoraxians as well, but it's really more like the Thoraxian Queen is the only individual and the rest of her hive acts as her limbs.Hive Mind: The Neinzul have a collective memory but individuals still exist within that collective.The Zenith are at least on their level, but took a non-standard path (ie their science is all about figuring out how to produce the desired result from their body).
