Are The Skulk's Eyes In Its Mouth?

<div class="IPBDescription">Comon!</div> I mean really, this is pretty ridiculous. When playing as a skulk, it's as if you're seeing things through its mouth! The other creatures and marines seem to have their eyes in appropriate places, but the skulk's seriously messed up.

    This has been discussed in multiple long threads, the conclusion is, its there for balancing the lmg muzzleflash, and it looks good.

    You could see them as eyelids that closes when the skulk bites too. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yes, you have an extra pair of eyes in your mouth so that you can see the look on their faces....

    Those eyes on the skulk are only capable of seeing colors, red, blue, and green. The hivemind helps them see much better, and the viewpoint therefor originates from the middle of it's body.

    Here is the story behind the skulks eyes in its mouth. One day a skulk suffered severe wounds to the face by a lmg, but survived. His eyes fell through the top of his head, but were still attached by his optic nerve. He then bred and had his fun, and then after time all skulks have eyes in their mouths....

    Well anyway, go cry about it?

    Skulks eyes are painted on to fool marines into thinking it can blind it by shooting it's eyes.

    It doesn't have eyes, it actually has a complex system of bacterial receptors in it's mouth that collect images from the Bacterial Network and convert it into vision. And yeah, it's in colour. We don't know why yet. Well.... YOU try capturing a live Skulk to experiment on.

    Gameplay over Realism folks. It works like a charm, and In my opinion, that is all that matters.

    yes. i think the teeth look cool, adds more of a freaky experience. i dont really see how it balances though, because quite frankly once i played and i got a bug where the mouth didnt move, i found it harder to kill a marine without the animation for some reason, maybe im just not use to it. but what would you rather have? teeth, or seeing a ugly mouth in the bottom center of your screen. only beef i have with the skult is that if it is upside down, then you should see updise down too! that would be cool!
