Quote from: Thatguy2068 on Nov 18, 2023, 01:32:01 AMI saw this predalien concept art and it generally looks better, The only problem that I have is the spike on the tail looking too much like a scorpion and the dreadlocks what is that it looks great

Quote from: Xenomrph on Dec 05, 2023, 10:52:42 PMYeah this - dreadlocks might be more that mere hair - they bleed when cut, after all. They could be a sensory organ for all we know, and something so embedded in the Predator's DNA that DNA Reflex picks it up (just like the mandibles). There's no reason to believe PredAliens "shouldn't" have dreadlocks, that's a nonsense argument used to try and prop up one's personal aesthetic opinions.

That might explain the head shape, having no fifth back spine, and them being digitgrade.
Quote from: The Cruentus on Dec 20, 2023, 12:00:17 PMYeah I think remember the "dreads" bleeding in one of the media formats. Can't recall which one now.I think Blue is right that it's 'Predators'. It definitely happens in the comics.
Quote from: The Cruentus on Dec 19, 2023, 11:29:02 PMI voted nay but honestly, my opinion on predalien "dreads" really depends on how they do it and if they explain why the Alien takes that trait. From the looks of the "dreads" on a predator, its not hair as its texture and appearance is smooth. So if there where to be an explanation on it as being some sort of sensory organ etc, then it would explain why it would be taken as a useful trait and it shouldn't be an issue. Of course it then depends on how its featured on the Predalien. Some look better than others.I'm not sure how to "explain" it narratively without it being ultra-clunky exposition dialogue. I mean I guess you could convey it visually by showing a Predator get its dreadlocks injured and have them bleed (conveying that it's not merely hair) and then show the PredAlien with dreadlocks (conveying that it's a dominant trait that DNA Reflex picks up on, like mandibles or whatever).
