The Evolution of the Hunter Species, part 2.
Simon Graham (frog@shaw.ca) writes:
If you watch the two Hunters that are in the security control building, you see the pace around, stand up to their full 12 feet, and then hunch back down. Right after, their spines vibrate and shake around a bit. Are they just stretching their spines because they're bored, or is this some kind of internal radar device?
Or are they, in fact, weapons? One would think, however, that plasma weapons and external armor would eliminate the necessity for both offensive and defensive appendages, unless it was only recently, evolutionarily speaking, that the Hunters began using armor and weapons. Of course, the spikes could just be there for show... or maybe for mating purposes! Eww...
