Snake Alien artwork from the Aliens Kenner Toyline
The Snake Alien is a part of the Aliens toy line produced by Kenner Products.
It has no arms or legs, but possesses a powerful tail which allows it to attack and hide in trees. It also possesses a wide hood similar to that of a cobra, which it spreads before spitting acid at its victims.
Trivia[]
- The two mandibles on the upper jaw of the Snake Alien are likely inherited from the host's fangs.
