Do they have mouths?

[Vasudan Commander]

Yes.

[Stormkeeper]

I watched the Hallfight vid, checked the wiki. It doesn't say.

Also, what do you think is the color of their blood. If they have any.

[Arkangel]

Depends on what they 'breathe'... hey what do shivan's require for sustenance? Is it canon anywhere? If anyone can answer me i can answer the blood question

        The charred bones of their enemies.

[Aardwolf]

No, there is practically no canon information about Shivan biology, society, psychology, or anything of the sort.

One of the few things that is stated is that they are bio-mechanical in nature (I don't remember the exact wording, though).

[Stormkeeper]

I've searched the wiki, watched Hallfight dozens of times, and still have very little to go on.

[Aardwolf]

What do you need to know this for?

[Stormkeeper]

Uh. Its relevant to my interests.

[Aardwolf]

Then yes, Shivans have several mouths. They are located under their cowpers' glands.

[Al Tarket]

you will need to give the rest of us a picture with the highlighted bits to proof on that.

conjecture: they might feed on energy after all it lifts its exo-skeletal structure and shoot out a beam of concentrated energy and they speak in electronic tones, and i am willing to bet that exo-skeletal is powered by energy.

Hmm. There's a thought. Expressed most HK-47 like, I might add.

That was a joke, dude.

Oy... energy is not something that can be 'fed upon', and there's no such thing as "concentrated" energy. It's a bright hot glowy thing, that's all. Also, what they sound like when transmitting signals on EM bands has no bearing on what they actually sound like ... the signal could have been interpreted incorrectly. Also, there's some canon info on what they sound like in FS1 (although they never speak in either game) in the Hallfight cutscene. And "powered by energy" is a ridiculous statement. Go look up energy in a dictionary or on wikipedia or something.

[Arkangel]

Aww c'mon, thats splittin hairs
Yeah, the statements wrong, but we know what he meant

[Al Tarket]

i can only speak in the limited english i have im not proficient in it. i know about the hk-47 however that was not my intention.

energy can be stacked in old crt tv capacitors, i believe that is "concentrated" enough to cause an electric shock to you that could be lethal, if it was not; you would only feel a slight warm tingling up your arm and maybe through the rest of your body. maybe i missed something but from what i see everyday day to day stuff, people seem to miss this kind of stuff easily by just buying it plugging it in and doing what ever it's supposed to be doing for human viewing without giving the first thought to how dangerous the appliance could be.

as for the joke, i will not defend my actions i admit i didn't see the joke to be honest, so sorry aardwolf.

[Mongoose]

What Aardwolf meant about energy was that you might as well say that human beings "feed" on energy....because we do.  All living beings, as well as just about everything that isn't living, depends upon the concept of energy.  Humans obtain their energy by breaking down the chemical bonds in food, which can be traced back to the energy of sunlight causing plants to grow.  The glacial stream running down a mountain does so due to gravitational potential energy, and the thermal energy of the sun's rays is what causes its waters to melt in the first place.  The energy that the sun itself releases is derived from the nuclear energy being released in its core, which in turn is caused by the pressure created by the gravitational energy of its constituent gas.  Energy is ubiquitous in the universe; to say that Shivans rely on energy to survive is a redundant statement.  They may obtain their personal energy supply in a completely different form than we do (like, say, fusion), but we're both essentially doing the same things.

We now return you to your regularly-scheduled thread, already in progress.

Where's Goober with Carl when you need him...


Entering subspace now, we'll see you in Beta Cygni...

[S-99]

Maybe they do have mouths? All i know is that carl's got his eyes covered. He had to ingest mojitos somehow.

[Titan]

ah, weres that explanation about carl being drunk during hallfight?

[S-99]
