An alien species' sex system is very bizarre in comparison with terrestrial ones. Perhaps it has two sexes that are not identifiable as either "male" or "female" in terrestrial terms, or perhaps it has three or more sexes, each of whom is indispensable for the species' reproduction process. Of course, Earth has a few bizarre examples of its own. Some species of fungi have more than two sexes (although only two at a time are required for reproduction). There's a species of fish that only has one sex, and among seahorses, the male bears the children. But this only scratches the surface of what writers can imagine. Super-Trope of One-Gender Race. Sub-Trope of Bizarre Alien Reproduction. May lead to Pronoun Trouble. Compare Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism, Exotic Equipment, Non-Human Non-Binary, and Extra Parent Conception. Contrast No Biological Sex. May be used as part of a Speculative Fiction LGBT story. Examples |

The Spicans in the Cluster series have three sexes — Impact, Sibilant and Undulant — each of which can play any of the three reproductive roles of Parent, Sire and Catalyst (though procreation always requires one partner of each sex). | |

Subnautica: The PDA mentions that every species on the planet 4546B has a single sex which can both fertilize and carry eggs as most of the creatures still need mates to reproduce, however the PDA also states that some of the species are capable of asexual reproduction in case the population gets too low. | |

In The Player of Games, the Azadians have three sexes — male, female and apex, a hermaphroditic gender. Biologically, all three are required for reproduction: the males impregnate the ovum-producing apexes, who in turn implant the fertilized egg in the females for gestation. As one might guess from the name, the apexes are culturally dominant and brutally oppressive of the other genders. Males have the lowest social standing and rights, treated as nothing but Dumb Muscle and military mooks. Females hold more status, but are still second-class-citizens with few rights and privileges (and are in fact widely, but incorrectly, believed by the Azadians not to actually contribute DNA to their offspring). | |

Cogenitors are third class citizens not even given names or an education. They are circulated between couples to assist in reproduction. | |

X: Boron have a third sex, called "Lar", in addition to males and females. The presence of a lar is not strictly necessary for reproduction, but it is described as being "beneficial". Lar prefer to be referred to with female pronouns and it is noted they make up the majority of the Boron leadership. The Paranid have 11 sexes. Extra Parent Conception is implied to be required judging by the species fetish for the number three, and the precise parental combination will affect the development of the larva. |

Serina has the Polymorph Bird, a species with males coming in four different varieties: the large, aggressive Keepers, the smaller, monogamous Ardors, the deceptive, female-mimicking Tramps and the homosexual Bachelors. It's stated that without the other morphs none of them would be able to reproduce: the Tramps require Keepers to trick, for example, otherwise their entire mating strategy would be rendered useless. Even the male-to-male bonding Bachelors play an important role: they steal and adopt the eggs of other heterosexual pairs, which in turn lay replacements, thus actually increasing the fecundity of a population whenever they're around. | |

The Wayfarers series features several alien races of this type: The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet: The Aeluon have four sexes: male, female, shon (who switch between male and female) and those who are neither. The Grum are each born female and transition to male as they get older. In a species-wide war, the females fought in the front lines and were all wiped out. As a result, the Grum as a species can no longer breed, and are a Dying Race. The Galaxy, and the Ground Within: The Laru are "male, female, neither, or somewhere in between" in adulthood. However, the young are genderless, and their sex is unknown, even to themselves. It is traditional to hold a party when the child reveals their gender to the family. |

The Space Trilogy: In a bizarre case overlapping with No Biological Sex, there are apparently seven genders, two of which correspond both to the human sexes and to the genders of the Oyarsu watching over Mercury, Venus, and Mars. The rulers of those three planets have genders, but also have No Biological Sex... it's complicated. When the Oyarsu of Jupiter and Saturn show up, their genders are neither masculine nor feminine, which contributes to their already-formidable case of You Cannot Grasp the True Form. | |

The listeners from The Stormlight Archive have four sexes, with almost any given individual belonging to two of them over the course of its life. The listeners have the standard two genders (masculine and feminine), but these are each further subdivided into fertile males and females and infertile malen and femalen. To make matters more confusing, the listeners are limited shapeshifters, able to assume any one of several forms to fill various social roles. One of these is the fertile and sex-obsessed mateform. | |

The Goa'uld in Stargate SG-1 are a two-sex race that doesn't match up with Earth norms. The majority of Goa'uld appear to be biologically male but tend to take on the gender identity of their host (though some of them have enough of an established gender identity to prefer hosts of one gender or the other), with a very small minority being biologically female "queens" that produce larvae. While queens can reproduce asexually, fertilization by a male passes his genetic memory to the offspring; for this reason, what few queens exist are kept as trophy wives by powerful system lords. | |

Because the Europans are incredibly secretive, no one is exactly certain how their reproduction even works and even the classifications Earthlings have given the known genders could turn out to be wildly wrong. | |

Numenera: The skeane — an alien species vaguely resembling emperor penguins with fluke-like, bony tails and six limbs, four ending in seal-like flippers and the front two in webbed hands — have three sexes: egg givers, who produce a small egg once a year; egg takers, who take it into their bodies and brood it until it's ready to hatch; and feeders, who feed the young by regurgitating a special nutrient fluid. These sexes are physically identical to each other in almost all respects, with the only occupation being the presence or absence of white nodules underneath their tails: givers have two, takers four and feeders none. | |

Star Trek: As mentioned under Literature, the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Data's Day" has a line that Andorian marriage involves four individuals. Whether or not this trope applies is left uncertain; it's never explicitly stated if it's a case of this trope or if it's a case of Exotic Extended Marriage being phrased ambiguously to get past the censors. The Novelverse went with its own interpretation, explicitly making it this trope, but the TV series has never taken a definitive stance. In Star Trek: Voyager, the hostile "Species 8472" is reported to have as many as five distinct sexes, at least according to Voyager's medical hologram but he admits they don't know anything else about their reproduction. The Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Cogenitor" features a race called the Vissians, who as well as having males and females have a third gender called "cogenitors" who are necessary in reproduction but only account for 3% of the population of Vissians. Cogenitors are third class citizens not even given names or an education. They are circulated between couples to assist in reproduction. |

Fairies in Peter Pan can be one of three colors and which one is determined by their gender. Yellow fairies are female, white fairies are male, and blue fairies are described as "little sillies that don't know what they are". No further details are given on what that actually means so it is unclear if they actually are a third sex, just males or females with an Ambiguous Gender, or something else entirely. | |

Known Space: Jotoki are amphibious and look sort of like starfish. They have an immature aquatic stage, and five sexes. Each limb starts as a separate non-sapient creature, which meet and join at maturity, then develop intelligence just before they breed. The Puppeteers claim to have three sexes for PR reasons, two "males" and one "female". In fact they are actually parasitoids similar to the tarantula hawk, and the "mother" is actually a different species that is parasitized by the Puppeteers. The two actual sexes are fairly sedate, and don't really differ much outside of which gamete they insert into the host. Kzin reproduction is close to standard in that they have what we'd recognize as males and females, but the females are non-sapient and basically animals. Male kzinti were enormously confused at meeting other species, such as humans, where both sexes are sapient. This was not always the case — kzin legends refer to their females having been sapient, once, but they tried to rebel against the Fanged God and lost their souls as punishment. The reality is that after the pre-industrial kzinti destroyed and took the technology of an alien race that landed on their planet, the male kzinti genetically engineered their females to be the way they are now, while at the same time making themselves as strong and vicious as possible to fit with their bronze age ideals of gender roles. A few kzinti populations around Known Space that have been isolated from the homeworld for very long times still have sapient females. Grogs have an inversion of the kzin model, but with much more extreme physical dimorphism. They begin life as doglike animals of limited intelligence. During adolescence, females find a good spot, attach themselves to a rock, and mature into sessile, conical adults that are sapient and powerful telepaths that hunt by compelling other animals into walking into range of their prehensile tongues. Males never reach this stage, and remain permanently as creature the approximate shape, size and smarts of a chihuahua, which the females keep around as something like pets. |

World Tree (RPG): The Zi Ri are a downplayed example. They are hermaphrodites, so that each individual is fully capable of both fertilizing another and carrying eggs zirself. As a result, they do not view themselves in terms of binary genders like other Primes do. Unusual by human standards, but a common reproductive system among real-life lifeforms. The insectoid Herethroy have three sexes: females, males and co-lovers. The female and male contribute genetic material to the offspring, while the co-lover carries and lays the egg. There are also the rare "both-females", who are capable of playing either the female or the co-lover role in reproduction, although not at the same time. Herethroy marry in triads, but because of uneven gender ratios some genders (co-lovers and males) are allowed or expected to belong to more than one triad at once. Both-females are expected to act as co-lovers, since they are rarer, and exiles them if they present themselves as females. |

Starfinder: The insectoid Shirren have male and female members in addition to a third sex called "hosts"; males and females contribute eggs and sperm for reproduction, while the host carries the eggs until the offspring are born in addition to contributing some of their own genes into the trio's young. The monkey-like Maraquoi have seven sexes: three "Fathers", a Mother, two "Hosts" (as with the Shirren, but for two different stages in the baby's growth), and what is essentially a "Supervisor" who somehow facilitates everything and somehow gets their DNA in the mix. Maraquoi tend to lean towards pacifism, given how easy it would be for a war to screw over their reproductive cycle. |

Yivo from the Futurama movie The Beast with a Billion Backs is a planet-sized tentacled entity. According to Fry, the creature prefers to be called "shklee" or "shkler", as opposed to "he" or "her". It also has what Leela calls "gentacles" (a portmanteau of "genitals" and "tentacles"). | |

Civilized space in Orion's Arm recognizes six Transhuman genders, approximately defined as male, female, hermaphrodite, female pseudohermaphrodite, male pseudohermaphrodite, and genderless. Things pretty much go out the window when you bring actual aliens into the picture. | |

In Tunnels, female Styx (which serve as infiltrators in the Styx's host society) usually look like beautiful females of their host species but grow giant insect legs and ovipositors during the Phase. Meanwhile, male Styx are split into a warrior caste, a civilian caste, and Armagi. The first two castes resemble their host species and don't change during the Phase, though warriors are hatched as larvae from parasitic eggs implanted in members of the host species during the Phase, while civilians are conceived through the host species' normal method of reproduction. If the Phase isn't producing enough warriors to dominate Earth, instead of pupating into their host species' form, warrior larvae will grow into shapeshifting gelatinous Starfish Aliens called Armagi. | |

Chanur Novels: The stsho have three sexes which form mating trios. None of the sexes is quite male or quite female, since a stsho who fulfils the young-bearing role in one mating trio can fulfill a non-young-bearing role in a different trio. Further, if a stsho is subjected to enough psychological stress it might undergo phasing, changing both sex and personality. In addition to the three reproductive sexes, the stsho have five genders: one for each reproductive sex, a fourth for stsho who are undergoing phasing, and a fifth for stsho who are too old to reproduce. | |

Warhammer 40,000: Tyranids don't have defined genders and, due to the way all of their weapons work, would technically qualify as either female or hermaphrodites (their weapons produce and gestates eggs, then launch the resulting creature at the enemy). Anything larger than a bullet would be created via the Norn Queens aboard the Hive Fleets, to which no one knows how the process is supposed to go. Genestealers are even weirder, as they can impregnate host species with their own genetic material, but the host itself still needs to reproduce naturally to pass on said genes effectively giving the child three parents. | |

Achron: The Grekim are a race of time travelling alien cyborg squid with three sexes (octo, pharo, and sepi) and three "classes" (basic, pod, and ligo). Any two members of different sexes may "progenerate" a member of the third sex of the same class or the next one up (e.g., a pharo and a sepi can produce an octo or an octopod, or an octopod and a pharopod can produce a sepipod or a sepiligo). This is the species' primary method of producing units; although the exact details are unclear, a certain amount of proximity is needed but it does not require physical contact. Ligo cannot "progenerate", but can "split down" into two basic units of the remaining genders (e.g., an octoligo can split down into a pharo and a sepi). | |

In StarFlight 2, the Ng'Kher'Arla is an alien race where the entire species transforms into one of three specific sexes, each with a distinct personality (Arla being friendly, Kher being paranoid, and Ng being hostile and xenophobic), depending on the time of month. On the last day of the month individuals change into a random sex and a species-wide mating orgy ensues. | |

Star Trek Expanded Universe: In the TOS-era novels by Diane Duane, there is one race, the Sulamid that is described as a bundle of bright purple tentacles about six to seven feet high, topped off with a sheaf of pink-stalked and tentacled eyes with triangular pupils and a purplish, "bloodshot" look. According to Dr. McCoy, they have twelve sexes, and all of them claim to be "male," especially the ones that bear the children. The Enterprise has at least three of them among the crew, Mr. Athende in Maintenance, Lt. Meshav from Data Management, and ensign Hwa'vire from Engineering. Diane Duane and AC Crispin also have a recurring Horta officer aboard the Enterprise, Dahai Iohor Naraht, who first appeared in Duane's Rihannsu novels and is described as an "orthomale type B-4A". The Horta are a silicon-based species resembling a mobile rock pile, so it's somewhat understandable that their reproductive methods would look nothing like Earth norms. The squales in the Star Trek: Titan novel Over a Torrent Sea have four sexes. The Jelna Rigelians in the Star Trek: Enterprise Relaunch novel Tower of Babel have four sexes too—endomale, endofemale, exomale, exofemale. Contrast with Zami Rigelians, who have the usual two sexes, and Rigelian Chelons, who are hermaphrodites but accept gender identities due to centuries of cultural imposition by the Jelna and Zami. The Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Data's Day" has a line that Andorian marriage involves four individuals, leaving it ambiguous as to whether it's this trope or an Exotic Extended Marriage. The Star Trek Novel 'Verse went with the idea of Andorians having four distinct biological sexes, consisting of chaan and thaan (appear male) and shen and zhen (appear female). In an Andorian bondgroup (shelthreth), the chaan and thaan fertilize the shen, who then transfers the embryo to the zhen to gestate; the zhen does not contribute any genetic material. In a further twist, sexual contact between three or fewer partners is referred to as tezha and considered taboo. This is used to justify the relative dearth of appearances by Andorians; the species suffered tremendous casualties and their overly complex reproductive biology is making it very difficult for them to repopulate. |

In Modest Medusa, hydras appear to be an all-female species of Snake People. As juveniles they are adorable little gorgon girls with four snakes for hair, who slowly transform into giant snakes as they get older. Their snake hair each have individual personalities and can move independent of the juvenile hydra, apparently representing different parts of the hydra's mind, with the little girl representing the consciousness. In almost every case, the snakes are female, but one in a million are born with "boy hair", i.e., male snakes and a female central body. The eponymous Modest is one of these, and during a Journey to the Center of the Mind she meets her snakes' minds, which look like male versions of her. | |

The Left Hand of Darkness takes place on a planet (called "Winter") where people have no permanent sex. They are sexless and asexual most of the time, but from puberty on they turn into a male or a female once a month to reproduce. The same person can be male or female on different occasions, so basically everybody on the planet is both a male and a female and neither. | |

Transpecial: The ky'iin have males and females as well as ly'iin, a third sex that uses ly/lik/lin pronouns. Ly'iin aren't directly involved in reproduction — instead, their purpose is to serve as teachers. Females lay eggs while males do most of the childrearing, so females are larger and more aggressive, while males have a nest-building impulse. The glen are Starfish Aliens who undergo a complete metamorphosis twice during their adult lives, which includes changing genders. |

As mentioned under Literature, the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Data's Day" has a line that Andorian marriage involves four individuals. Whether or not this trope applies is left uncertain; it's never explicitly stated if it's a case of this trope or if it's a case of Exotic Extended Marriage being phrased ambiguously to get past the censors. The Novelverse went with its own interpretation, explicitly making it this trope, but the TV series has never taken a definitive stance. | |
