hunter anatomy lessons

In Response To: Re: An in-depth theory about hunters (E.T. the Extremely Tired)

: I don't think the Hunter's claws are biological, to me they look like they
: are part of the armour/gun, which would remove the need for higly
: specialized worms.
: The core worm would have eyes, ears and be able to feed, and all other worms
: would simply act like muscles.

The Hunters can have specialized worms and still be able to put them in different places. If they can control the numbers of specialized worms and their locations then they could have a vast range of body forms.

The two hands are completely different. The right hand is a gun (duh :-) and its 'claws' don't articuclate in the middle, they look entirely mechanical. The left hand has claw like fingers that articulate in the middle and look like the fingers of a hand.

It doesn't look like there is enough room in the gun arm for a hand like the one on the left. It looks like the Hunters are genuinely asymetrical. So perhaps they are free to arrange their muscle-worms anyway they see fit.

They don't have eyes, they seem to have a photosensitive strip below the from rim of their helmet. It doesn't look like it is made from a single worm but there is a distinct line that separates 'eye' from the rest of the head/neck.

If you want a good look at a Hunter then play TGJ on easy, grab the wraith, race to the end and blast away all opposition at the door. Get in the spectre and race through the door, past the Hunters and jam it in the next doorway. I jumped out and cleared the way ahead up to the bridge then returned to let the Hunters through but I suspect that you could just grab a beam rifle and shoot one of the Hunters in the neck. If it falls backwards then you can jump on its chest and have a good look at its eye band.

If you clear the way ahead then you can have live specimens to study. They stand around doing body-builder poses and look pretty impressive but dead specimens are easier to study in detail.
