    Back scratchers gets my vote, how i wish i had 3 tenticle back scratchers. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> As for adding polies, the same can be said about the.. "udders".. they add 80-90 polies, and serve no purpose what-so-ever. Perhaps the Onos is female?

    How about a fade riding on an Onos? back? Shooting acid rockets, with the protection of Onos? armor, it?d be like some kind of Tank.

    They're antennae that the hive mind uses to tell the Onos how much he r0x0rz.

    The tenticals are there as a defence devise.The tenticals emit a brain-wave that prevents marines from milking the onos titties on the underside of the onos. This way no onos milk falls into enemy hands.

    They are still there to remind us that there was a version befrore 2.0. Kinda like how the Lerks still have teeth.

    Notice how every alien has those things on somewhere on their body? (Skulk rear cords, Gorge tails, Lerk backspikes, Fade backcords, Onos Dredlocks) I vote that they recieve information from the bacteria using those things.

    .... Or maybe they just pick up AM radio. Try to find a tuning knob the next time you're in an Onos.

    No, the tentacles are what the Onos uses to shrink its effective hitbox. I mean, I think this would be completely obvious. Why would anyone think anything else? It's not the HL engine that causes that, its the tentacles!

    So, if you curdle Onos milk, you?d obtain some kind of godly cheese that if fell into human hands would be the end of the aliens.

    Thank you everyone, I am now enlightened as to the nature of the Onos Tentacles.

    New 3rd hive ability:

    AM Radio Mind Control Dreadlock.... Attack

    What happens is, the AMRMCD's start waving around all marines inside of a certain radius get a black screen accompanied by some of the worst talk radio ever for the next 5 seconds. Imagine it. The doors in front of your squad open, you see an onos standing there, and suddenly... there is nothing but WMAQ (is that on the radio anywhere other than Chicago?). As soon as that horror is over, you get your vision back (but maybe not your sanity) and all you see are the bodies of your squad mates and a 5-ton Rhino-on-Steroids.

    I think it would be hilarious to hear your team shrieking over the radio to please make the talk radio stop. But then again I am one sick mofo.

    nooo they are there to suck jetpacks into the oni from 50 feet away.
  • KaMiKaZe1KaMiKaZe1 Join Date: 2002-11-18 Member: 9196Members
    Oh, how I miss paralyzing jetpackers at the top of Viaduct and watching them tumble a hundred meters down to their deaths.


    Good times.

    Onos tenticles = power to turn loyal teamplayers into llama rambo marines.

    Opposable Thumbs.. He doesn't have any.
    Thats why he has tenticals.
    How would he work the Carpet Shampooer with out them?
    Chew on that for a bit.
  • notalentassclownnotalentassclown Join Date: 2003-07-23 Member: 18382Members
    Well, I hear that they were planning on reducing the onos's field of vision because onoses have bad vision. Maybe, they use these as antennae to sense vibrations and such.
