I like the savage cobra-thing

I'm happy that here seems to be a lot of references to worms, serpents and 'living fluids' in this rather than 'bugs/insect' analogies and to me this favours more towards Loveraftian nightmares. The 'cobra' does indeed look like a proto-facehugger but without the dead man's fingers. Superb!
