<div class="IPBDescription">Hee...</div> How much do YOU think the <insert kharaa> weighs? In pounds or kilograms, please specify <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

I'm not going to guess at any others right now, but I think the lerk weighs about 10 pounds <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    um question, do they actually have real weights? or do we just make weights up O_o

    Well, I assume we guess weights that seem logical or something, and eventually flayra or someone will come along and go "S**U noobs, they all weigh X, Y, Z, and another thing, DON'T SPAM THIS AGAIN!!! >:E"

    And Majin is that someone.

    I can only think in KGs, and 36 seems about right. As for 63 for a gorge, the gorgie weighs less than ME ffs, he's called a fatty, not a skinny (although he is also about 1/4 my height but still). Fades and onos seem about right though.

    Skulk - 75lbs
    Lerk - 70lbs
    Gorge - 110lbs
    Fade - 150lbs
    Onos - 1750lbs without marine 2000lbs with marine ^_^

    Onos: 2000 Kg approx 5000 lb, based on an average white rhino (Similar size, 6 foot shoulder height 10 foot length)

    Fade: 150Kg 330 lb, based on a western gorilla (approx 6ft in hight but tad bulkier, I'd say a fade is about 7ft)

    Gorge: 120kg 280(?)lb, based on it being about 3-4ft long and slightly larger than most pot bellied pigs.

    Lerk: 5kg about 11lb, based on the worlds largest bat, (gigantic flying fox, wingspan 6ft) only weighing 2lb.

    Skulk: 25kg 55lb, based on an average bulldog. I'd expect a skulk to be slightly larger but have lighter bones.

    But what if the organic structure of these aliens would contain molecules and atoms unknown to humankind.
    That could really screw up the masses...

    They're fictional characters in a game. They don't exist in life therefore they have no wait therefore i win <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Well, those bits 'n bites are stored on your hd, on many people there hd's.
    So, they do weigh at least some <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Well if we want to be really picky, they take up the weight of the electrons in the magnetic field which make up the 1's and 0's in the alien's code on a hard-drive, so their mass <i>is</i> almost negligable <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo-->

    That made me laugh. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Anyone remeber the chemical discussion of why aliens have green blood?

    How could the Fade be 300+ lbs? If it was it would be a fatass. Seriously. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Like i said, I'm assuming the fade is approx 7ft. The ideal weight for a 7ft adult male is 270lb. The fade probably is denser than humans too seeing as how it can take so many bullets and theres the massive claws on it's arms so it's possible.

    Of course all the aliens could be made of unobtanium and supermajiccreyzemeetul and weight 2 grams. But i think we have to assume the are similar to earth creatures in terms of materials, skeletal structure etc otherwise it would be pointless trying to guess.
    Although there isn't really any point now, but anyway....

    Wheres flayra when you really need him. Tell him to stop codeing and start coming up with weights of the different kahraa. Thats what his real job is.

    I think the skulk is slightly lighter than 70lbs. Maybe like 30-40 lbs, remember they have to be light to leep that far.
