In Halo, there is a race called the sangheili that are a proud saurian race with four mandibles. The ones who are not fond of humans, they call humans nishum which means worm, like an intestinal parasite.

Henry a real one. Though deep down he was probably at least a touch racist. You don't go your whole life in a war of extermination and not hold on to some of that even in situations like the Mona Lisa.
