Second Set of Jaws...or what?

MemberOvomorphApril 30, 20121327 Views17 RepliesSo I was on io9 earlier looking at the shot-for-shot breakdown of the new (10th) trailer for Prometheus (haven't we had enough already?) and noticed something coming out of one of the astronaut's mouth and looked pretty bloody and gruesome. Ideas anyone? It looks similar to the Alien's second set of pharyngeal jaws and looks like it's breaking itself out of his helmet while he squirms and shrieks in pain and horror.

Does seem that the Cobra/Eel that enters Milburns Suit kills him but then jumps at Fifields Helmet and either melts through it or does not get into his suit but something it releases does.
This does seem odd for a Xeno life cycle, why does the Organism not just stay inside Milburn and use him as a Host? Why does it try and leave Milburn and attack Fifield?
Does it get inside Fifields helmet? because from the scenes it just seems that his helmet melts into his face and we dont see the Organism enter the Helmet, yet it seems to jump towards his helmet when it leaves Milburns head?

It does look like whatever happens, it's very quick indeed. Scott did say they'd meet things capable of eviscerating them in an instant. Looks like he wasn't kidding.

Ive been flipping the pics upside down....you make out the face better. Ive been trying to adjust contrast as well to try to make out who it is. They have facial hair, though it looks grey like an old man's. Anyone have any luck?

No, to be honest it looks as if something is coming out of his mouth! The MOUTH BURSTER!!!

What I find interesting is the SJ's cryo bed in the orrery room has an old SJ with his chest burst open and a whole in the glass along with the one on LV-426. These new breeds seem to come out of the mouth rather than the chest.
Perhaps this way the bodies can be reused or still left intact to survive. Whereas the chest bursters leave the body decimated.
hard to tell by the pic but it does look oughly close to chest bursters in Alien/s.

It's nasty and does not look fun whatever the heck it is.
So excited! :-D

"Is it dead this time?" "I dunno, poke it with this stick and see."

From what I can discern, it doesn't look like a second set of jaws, but maybe a middle stage in destroying a victim.

Perhaps it's more efficient than the original Facehugger?
I think the ship on LV-426 is millions of years old. Thus, the dormant facehuggers in the eggs are millions of years old. They jump out, plant their embryo in the host, then drop off and die, while the chestburster later emerges.
Maybe this is a descendant of that creature, more steamlined and efficient? It stuns the host, enters into it. (perhaps by chomping through their side or entering another orifice--either way is horrific) plants it's embryos, and then emerges alive to infect another host.
This type of creature would certainly be able to reproduce itself faster.
I also think it's distinctly possible that there willbe a variety of creatures, each very unique, so each crew member won't be certain of what they are experiencing.

This looks really nasty. I'm actually having trouble digesting food looking at this pic lol
Well done!
What trailer did you screen cap this from

It is coming out of a desiccated corpses mouth. It goes right for Fords neck.

I wonder if this creature is the "assflower"..as it was being referred to.. HA

@MarcoBot1234, I didn't-it came from i09's screencaps of the UK trailer from last night.
Something strange....we've got Milburn getting bit and infiltrated by some cobra-like eel/serpent with female-like genitalia, Holloway getting his face burned and someone getting their face melted off and someone (possibly Milburn or Ford) spitting something large out of their mouth-what gives?
What the hell [i]is[/i] going on in the temple?

My best conclusion so far is that the "cobra" is like a sentient stamen and when it unfurls, it shows its Anther(hence Assflower). It most likely enters a host then releases its spores. This creates a hybrid creature which ejects to repeat the process.
