I like the tentacle hairs coming off his head.  Gives him a nice look.  It looks menacing enough.  However why are those spikes in his belly?  It doesn't make sense.

All in all, GREAT!  <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

Hmmm, perhaps the spikes in the belly are to deter attackers from trying to hit the 5's "vulnerable underside".

Yes, I'd just like to reiterate again that these screenshots of Mr. Level 5 ROCK THE COLLECTIVE WORLD. Eat your heart out, Uncrossable Parallel. Or something.

Nah, my level 6 would be more like a preying mantix-type structure than anything else.


By the way..is it just me, or would the spikes make it hard for the level 5 to mate? <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

Who say's it's a he?  

Also, the purpose of the spikes was to make it more obvious why the level 5 does tons of trample damage to marines.  The spikes help to rip and grind the marines to a bloody pulp when the alien is dancing the Macarena on their quivering bodies.

Jedisar

I prefer to think of it dancing more of a congo...dunt dunt dunt dunt, Squish squish.

neag

Very nice exept for the spikes they look like they were bent in an accident.


That will have problems climbing a ladder.
Can it use ladders? as a maper I need to know.

CyonPro

Hmmm....I doubt it will be all that agile....as far as I know it can't use ladders or cook lasagna or anything like that, but I may be wrong.

Jedisar

Oh, it cooks a mean Lasagna! Best I've ever had!

I thought aliens didn't have to mate when they had a hive 'n' stuff to reproduce for them. <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

Jedisar

Well, no, they don't HAVE to...but face it, would't you mate, even if they could just make you a test tube baby?

CyonPro

True dat. True dat.

Now I know why he's so red -- he's blushing after all these strange, strange comments.

Besides, Level 5 is "Big Momma" <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

I'd pay a nickel to get my hands on the texture for that baby...

Hrmm and I think the shoulders need to be higher up, compared to the hind legs. I always imagined the level 5 having a lot of pride in being a level 5, so it would march around with its head up high. And then promptly lower it into the skull of a marine. D'oh

Obviously, the spikes are there to make it look cool. And those dredlocks. With spikes. Coool.

Gasfiend

let me reiterate what i've said previously....the spikes on the bottom look wierd/pointless/like they need to go....the tentacles look cool....the rest of it looks alright, though its head is the size of....ummm...something really big, maybe....too big.  The texture is alright, other than the fact that it looks like a rotting cherry with moldy/moss stuff covering its arse.
