Was just watching a youtube video called "Humans are Space Orcs" and got this idea of a mass effect galaxy with aliens that had a bit less of a tolerance for extremes than us humble humans.
Then I thought of this galaxy crossed with this story and got lots of mental images of aliens running around with their hands in the air screaming their heads of at the abominations they had just heard of.
We are a remarkably resilient species. We can adapt to survive in a new climate after only a few months. We can survive falls and wounds that would kill other similarly sized animals very quickly. We can eat just about anything and get at least some nutrition from it.
For our size we are the most hardy species I can think of.
What we would look like for species that were more limited would be kind of funny to read about. Asari and Salarians might need a highly humid environment, and Salarians go into torpor if the temperature drops to low. The same might be true for Krogans since they come from a desert planet and they might also dislike high humidity. I don't know what a turian weakness would be but something fun could probably be thought up.
Of course most of this can be mitigated by technology but consider how they would view a species that simply didn't care.
Also you could play up that humans heal from anything that doesn't immediately kill us (as long as we don't get an infection). Perhaps mention that medigel was developed by mimicking and reinforcing what we already had and was in the beginning used to ensure that we didn't form unsightly scars when we had our inevitable accidents.
I mean Salarians (who are based off of frogs) might have a good degree of regeneration but will die if the ph in their bath is a percent to low or the salinity a little to high. The Turians might die if their exoskeleton is breached in the wrong place and thus they all wear armor at all times.
Just some weird thoughts.
