I’m enjoying the game (what little I’ve played of it so far), but I have to ask - why do the giant alien snakes have breasts?

Actually, no, it’s worse than that. I wanted to find an example of what I’m talking about, but, I mean, look at this:

Why is the giant alien snake coded as female at all?

That’s official concept art, by the way. Look at it - it’s got breasts, hips, a pelvis and clearly defined thigh-like structures. Why does what is essentially a giant spitting cobra/boa constrictor hybrid have those bone structures?

It’s not for disguise purposes - the game is set twenty years after the aliens took over the world and we’re leading the resistance. They don’t need to disguise themselves because they’re not trying to infiltrate anywhere, plus they already have a better infiltration unit in the Faceless.

It doesn’t assist them in combat - and, in fact, given that the vipers attack by grabbing your fighters and drawing them into their coils to crush them to death, having such defined structures is reducing their ability to do that, since you’d run the risk of fracturing your own ribs if you tried to constrict a human.

Snakes don’t even have mammary glands.

Just… why?
