The Hammerpede - not the cobra-thing?

Unless it is a totally different creature to the cobralien, the slithering grey thing we see dashing into someone's suit-sleeve seemingly has no legs. Most of us may have assumed that snippet of the arm-slitherer immediately follows the cobra arm-grab bit. Pede is the Latin word for feet or legs is it not? Millipede - multiple legs/feet. The Hammerpede may be a different and bigger monstrosity altogether - with a hammer head. The Alien has a hammer head of sorts. Will this be a tenuous connection to the morphology of the original?

I had been thinking this myself since the moment I read the word Hammerpede, which immediately made me picture a huge praetorian, skeletal xenomorph creature with long spines..

FREEZE!

I agree Zeta, we should be seeing several variety of alien in this movie. I do agree also that the head of the Alien is very hammer like. I hope the pede is super creepie!!!

Well, Ridely Scott said the creature advances through different stages of evolutionary as animals. Perhaps of Centipede is just one of those stages. And I hope the final stage is truly terrifying and unpleasant.

@ZetaReticuli - " Pede is the Latin word for feet or legs is it not? Millipede - multiple legs/feet. The Hammerpede may be a different and bigger monstrosity altogether - with a hammer head". Then why would it be called Hammerpede when it has a hammer on its head?... Wouldn't it just be called hammerhead then? Sorry, but I think the Hammerpede is the Cobra.

You have my sympathy

It's an hors-d oeuvre! Looked like Ford got it in the kisser when it left Milburn, wonder what it's exit strategy is from her?

@Shaw's_sweet_baby Then the creature uses its hammer head to move ¿?

Perhaps the Hammerpede is the creature that bursts out of milburns mouth and into another crewmember(ford maybe?) I brought this up in the other Hammerpede discussion here are some of the pics [img]http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa478/metroplekz/Clip_11.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/OjxgC.jpg[/img] [img]http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/17l7p47nb64ozjpg/xlarge.jpg[/img] [img]http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa478/metroplekz/Clip_10.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/f60qu.jpg[/img]

I think that whatever he did to Milbur, this creature has changed a bit (the first evolution perhaps?)

Can't the Hammer be part of the Derelict?

the title of this discussion thread is a spoiler in itself. Aren't you supposed to hide stuff like this from titles that everyone sees?

Maybe we will find out, i do think that the cobraxeno does not look like something you would call a Hammerpede. I think there could be creatures in the movie that we have not yet seen.
