Tali remains hugely popular as a Mass Effect character and despite the huge challenges as a cosplay we see her fairly often.

Custom Night Fury dragon lamp breathes fire
This rather awesome creation is the work of the deviant artist Undead Geologist. The Geologist clearly has many talents and crafting fire breathing dragons is one of them.
