Another point about a familiar species awakening Shepard. Even if you took away their reputations for ferocity, they're still scary to look at. I mean, it can be startling to wake up to see another human or a dog or a cat looking at you. Imagine the first thing you see upon awaking being this: http://images.wikia.com/masseffect/images/c/ce/Vorcha.png or this: http://images.wikia.com/masseffect/images/1/15/Yahg_Character_shot.png.

Even if the vorcha and yahg had a reputation for being incredibly pilot, good cooks, and incredible lovers, those faces would still scare the crap out of me.
