Predalien: Dreads or No Dreads

[[cancerblack]]

No dreads, as my miniature work and sketch illustrate.

[Corporal Hicks]

Perfect! That's all it needs to be IMHO.

I think giving it a bit more height and making it a bit thicker in the limbs and torso is a fair call in addition to the mandibles. A Pred is a fair bit bigger than a human, so the resulting Alien being bigger too conveys how dangerous it is without using an entirely separate design.

[Corporal Hicks]

Yeah, I can get behind that too.

[BigDaddyJohn]

Yay for dreads, just maybe not the ones in AVPR.

No Predalien - fullstop. 

Horrible idea and design.

What's horrible idea? That Predator mighthave been infected with Alien?

You want horrible ideas? Watch Prometheus and Alien Covenant!

Alien vs Predator is a horrible idea, and the design for the Predalien is rubbish.

[BlueMarsalis79]

The design we got for sure.

[Master]

Oh, so you don't like the concept of crossover. And what about the creature itself? I agree AvP-R Predalien is shit and one of the worst designs there is, but Dorman's Predalien is all kinds of awsome.

He kinda hates everything though.

I think the dreads can be incorporated on a biomechanical design in some way, I can imagine them being more tube like that goes back into the body similar to the ones at the end of Big Chap/Warrior's jawlines. Then again we don't see regular xenos with human hair, so them having dreads should be more unlikely

[Local Trouble]

I don't even think it should have the mandibles.  It's not as if the runner had a dog snout.

I'm of the opinion that the head is the only really unchanging part of the alien, but everything below the neck is subject to change depending on the host.

[BlueMarsalis79]

I think mandibles potentially make the cut but I wholeheartedly agree less is more when it concerns the DNA Reflex.

[Elmazalman]

Almost everything.

The original is where it's at. The rest is disposable popcorn/booze/drugs-fare.
