The idea it has a skull, perhaps with simple eyes, inside a protective membrane or cowl, or something, is far more interesting. It has this structure, this defined bony, ridged, skull that's both Human and long and extended and Alien, underneath this really translucent cowl. If it has eyes in there, why would it need a cowl over it? If it doesn't have eyes, then is that, actually it's skull?
There's so many questions. It's much more Alien. No eyes > Skull. It's more intriguing.
