In the film, the Arachni-Lobster is roughly two stories tall, with fleshy, not entirely insectile skin. The base of its slouched torso stands on six arthropod-like legs, while the topside sports a pair of much larger, pincer-tipped arms which it holds to its chest like an enormous mantis. Its head seems to consist of little more than an enormous, vertebrate-style maw lined with needle-like teeth, with the top of its cranium arching over the back. Its coloration is difficult to determine, as it never appears onscreen as anything more than a silhouette. |
