Halloween: 3 alien races we'd have no shot against if they were real

Halloween is about being spooked and nothing scares us more than the realization of how badly we'd do against these three alien species in a fight.

Star Trek is known for many fantastic alien races. Yet, it's also known for some of the most horror-inducing and dramatic we've ever seen. Gene Roddenberry's utopic future has created a list of dangerous and chilling aliens that give the Starfleet crews a fit.

If the future version of us struggles, then the modern-day version of us will certainly stand no real chance. That's the sad truth about science fiction, especially Star Trek. The creatures we see would often hand us our butts if they were real.

In fact, we think we'd be so outmatched if some of these aliens were real, we're going to give you three that would smack us around like we were toddlers in a heavyweight boxing match.

The Klingons

They're brutal, they're violent and they're beyond strong. Klingons are a cross between Vulcans and the Predator aliens, with the strength of a Klingon and the hunting tendencies of the Predator. It'd be fair to surmise that a small invasion from a handful of Klingon Birds of Prey would wreck the entire human race in a long, bloody, and drawn-out conflict.

The Gorn

If the Klingons are a variant of the Predator aliens, then the Gorn are the in-universe version of the Xenomorph aliens from the Alien franchise. They're quick, fearless, and hungry. They would easily work their way through community after community, swallowing up whole cities in a matter of days. If they're as quick as depicted in Star Trek: Enterprise, then there's no real hope that the human race would survive a year, if that. They'd be too quick to fight, they're too quiet to anticipate and they're too smart to outwit.

The Borg

The Borg nearly defeated the Federation in a universe where the good guys were more technologically advanced. Imagine how easy they'd roll us if they showed up today. Thankfully, we aren't technologically advanced for them to care, but if they stop caring about that and start wanting drones, I'd give the human race a month, tops, before we all bent the knee to the hive mind.
