The sexual organ that will be part of the disturbing aspect of the film. Also, why do I get the feeling that the Engineers don't need or posses penises, maybe the cobra is to Engineers, what facehuggers are to aliens.

When I read the word "Vagisnake" it sounds like a whisper in my head like one of those pretentious perfume commercials.

I like that 'remote' genitalia theory here, also the 'vagina cobra' becoming
an angel symbol EGR101, that's genius. I remember reading something along the lines of the Facehugger being described as an 'ambulatory penis'. I think it was in the Scanlon and Gross 'Book of Alien'.

Something tells me this is NOT the term that will go down in the history books for it.

Well obviously the creature is based off of H.R. Giger's concepts, so of course it's going to look sexual. This creature looks like a penis (or a sperm, depending on the angle) and has a mouth that looks like a china. Though if this creature is compared to the Facehugger, which doesn't look like a penis but has an orifice resembling a vagina (where the tube comes out to lay the egg in a host), I'd say the Cobralien has a smaller vagina. You can interpret this however you like.

They did want the egg's opening in in Alien to be a vagina according to abordoli in a recent post by Id Rather Be Eatin Somethin Else. Maybe someone could look at the closed organism as being male genitalia, when opened it appears to be female, lips, clitoris, urethra, etc.

You know, when the Cobralien or whatever unfolds its hood, it looks like an unfolded vagina, and the round-ish part is reminiscent of a clitoris. It's just something I noticed when I was looking at, uh, erm.....stuff. I saw it and the shape reminded me of the Cobralien with its hood unfolded.
