Ah, this seems to be one of those days when my pendulum is swinging back to being protective of '
Prometheus', rather than critical.
As I said earlier, we really have no idea what that/those arm(s) are attached to and they could just as easily be some form of trunk as anything else. If they make this genuinely lovecraftian and we see some sort of horrifying squid/mantis/arachnid hybrid thing, I'm all for that. So long as it looks like it would be vicious instead of a mess.
With that said, I believe the 'arm' would've looked better (and also more iconic) if it had a biomechanical aesthetic, instead of looking like smooth flesh. Think Sil's long segmented hair, from '
Species'. Something which looks like it could withstand a blade cutting it in half. Then again, maybe it's still relatively young and comes to be exoskeletal.

do i have to put it under a spoiler tag?
I was tempted to request it at the start of this, but the subject title's got a spoiler notice in it, so... I'm thinking not.
