GuestFebruary 08, 2012@Shambhala: That is a good png with good resolution. You just need to open the picture in new window to see it in full resolution and things become clearer.
@Membrane: If the jumping guy is the same as the smoking helmet/burning face guy. Then there should be a big scar on the left (his right) side of the forehead. The thing burning is just above the left eye. With the jumping beardyman there is something in the middle of the forehead.
@danrald: his eyes are still there, they are almost closed in the picture. But they´ve sunken as if he has been loosing fat/soft tissue on his face. It is possible his head has elongated towards the back but it is unclear in the picture. Top of his head looks bigger in proportions than face but the missing fat tissue could be the reason.
@jbsmit3@gmail.com: If you look at the picture in full resolution it looks to me the guy has a reddish cut/streak of blood on his forehead. To me it looks like a cut not mutation.
The guy has beard. This gives 3 possibilities. 1: So he had it already when they landed and then this is a totally new unidentified character. 2: He has been comatose/critical and the beard has grown during that time. 3: He has been out on the planet for a while without a shave and has now returned to attack the crew.
The time it takes to grow a beard like that... few months? If he´s been without a shave then his mohawk should be gone with hairgrowth (1cm/month). So me thinks he had the beard all along and the change in him has been relatively fast. I think this is a character yet to be identified and there has to be at least two guys with mohawks (the other one in med bay had no beard).
