@Fabi_G I worried about that as well later into designing it honestly. An idea I had that might work for it is that it could use the opening and closing of the mouths across the back of its neck to aid in bending it, opening them and shifting them left or right similar to how we shift our jaws to allow freedom of movement…
An accurate depiction of a Tanegashima (matchlock) though I'd like too see more smoke, both ends which was a main characteristic for this weapon once fired.
Haven't made any progress on the texture since (intimidating...), but I did get these 'enemy' designs presentable. They will have clothing/armour and weapons, though. Hopefully.
I think it looks pretty good here you got some weapon refrences and i think that they got something like this there. http://www.pixagogo.com/DeicideNBF
