So, Since Aliens Splatter Green Blood...

RSMemphis · September 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">... why no green Onos tummy?</div> Topic says it all, already.

Since all the Aliens seem to dribble green "blood" instead of the healthy red from marines, one would think that the Onos tummy pic is green as well.

Very strange... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Short answer, because it looks good. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Long made-up answer, because it goes through a similar oxidation process that human blood does (human blood near the end of its circulatory pass is a dark blue, not red) turning it green when the superficial layers are pierced. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

I think its a good point but I suspect you've ben eaten once to often

Seeing green inside an onos would feel rather like being eaten by a large kiwi.

...that or it'd look like someone sneezed on your screen ^^;

Because onos eat to many marines and eventually the marine blood colors it's stomache? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

put me off my lunch for about 2 seconds, then realised food stopped entering my mouth and had to make up for lost time <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

ONCE?<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>

Many times too often... I really wish that with full consciousness inside, I could shoot the Onos up from the inside. Or at least knife it.
Take this, you cow!!!

Tis an interesting point, however i think whatever is inside the stomach of one is never a welcome surprise. Especially when it's a very sneaky cloaked onos that appeared out of nowhere to eat you and run away!

And that's how you'll get banned from most of the servers that are admin'ed properly.

No it isn't!

Its still red, but a much darker hue of red. The only reason your blood vessels look blue is because the layers of skin the blood runs through make it look blue. But thats Physics not Biology.

Correct. Oxygenated blood (Oxyhaemoglobin) is bright cherry red. Veins carry oxygen-free blood, which is darker than the oxygenated kind that flows through the arteries. But it's really more of a maroon colour than blue. The blood in and around the circulatory tract would be lacking Oxygen.

Skin will filter and distort the light that hits it, and so will the vein cells and the oxygen-free blood. Overall, the properties of these three materials result in the absorption of red wavelengths of light and the reflection of blue back to our eyes - hence, the blue tint on the veins.
