Was The Onos Intended That Way?

<div class="IPBDescription">Or do I just have a weird perspective?</div> I tried looking up search with the terms: "onos tongue" in general and off-topic, and found nothing.

That being said, I have to ask something that's been nagging me about the onos the first time I ever saw its side mugshot. The brignt spot on it's carapace head shield has always given the appearance of an eye to me, while the head itself looks like a tongue, hanging out of its mouth (tusk).

Did the artist intentionally want the onos to have a crazed canine look from the side view?

    I've actually never really took great notice to a bright spot and this "tongue" which you speak of....i should take a closer look

    yeah he has a tiny green eye on the side there, but i dont kno what you mean about the tounge, he jsut has a large red snout down there.

    Eh? You're confusing me...
    He doesn't have a "red snout", that actually is his head, along with the eye; he has no snout at all actually, the thing sticking out at the bottom is its tusk for impaling marines.

    I know that the ACUTAL eye is where I see the "perspective tongue", and the "perspective eye" is simply a plate of carapace.

    ...anyone see what the hell I'm talking about? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Oh God, I seriously thought that this "crazed face" thing was planned; at least I'm starting to see reality now.

    I <i>hope</i> it doesn't really look like that, because the picture on the right just looks dumb hehe. I don't want my Onos looking like a big doofy hippo, he's supposed to be a big mean bull or something.

    For years I was convinced that <a href='http://image1ex.villagephotos.com/2142895.jpg' target='_blank'>the GDI logo</a> was some kind of face, when it is (apparently) a stylised eagle. And yet I can't see the rabid dog in the onos <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->.

    You definately have a weird perspective! Even on the side portrait you can make out it's small eyes. When looking at your example drawings hard, I could see what you thought.
    I doubt they wanted the Onos to look that way <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Anyone know what African animal kills more humans per year than any other animal?


    A cookie to anyone who answered "the hippo."


    And to those of you too lazy to even attempt an answer, and just looked right down, you people are just too lazy for your own good. Bums.
