List of gendered fictional sentient species

This is a list of sentient non-human species (usually alien species) that are notably gendered: extremely dimorphic, extremely variant in intelligence or behavior, highly distinct biological or social gender roles, etc.

• Larry Niven's Pierson's Puppeteers: Three "genders": a non-sentient female who carries the fetus, an egg-producing sex with an ovipositor; and a sperm-producing sex with a penile organ. The egg- and sperm-producing sexes refer to themselves as "he", and refer to the non-sentient host gender as "she", female, also described as a "drone". Technically the non-sentient host is a "cousin" species which is fertile with itself, and breeds more drones.

• The "piggie" species in Orson Scott Card's Speaker for the Dead

• Species in Rogue Queen by L. Sprague de Camp
