This wasn't meant to be shown like this, but I want people to know I am back "for realz", so have some synx art only friends have seen. I don't know when I'll be able to work on my own projects again, so some stuff I've kept to myself over the years may just get posted here. Some of it was posted on the wiki quite a while back, some of it was for bigger projects meant to be posted here.

Only the athletes can actually simulate human-like walking. The rest just move their legs as if they're walking while in an up-right stance as their body rests on the tail; which is is what's actually propelling them forward (slithering). They try not to make the latter obvious though, they're very shy.
Athletes... I'd imagine a running Synx would look a lot like QWOP http://i.imgur.com/jVyOB.gif
They are like big fingernails and not very sturdy at all. They are there just to help balance and add a bit of weight to a head that is otherwise flimsy and made to fall apart. They can move a bit and even be pulled off/broken as easily a a big nasty fingernail, but doing so removes the synx's ability to properly navigate it's head, for the most part anyway. They have to do this also when they parasitically burrow into something, as the horns might cause far too much damage and inadvertently kill whatever it is they're invading.
Really cool bit of biology/anatomy work, neat monster.
I think something like this would work really well in a spaceship setting, you can imagine a large vessel with lots of small spaces and crevices between the internal living area and the hull, getting a space bourne predator like this in your ship that can squeeze around the internals at will would be absolutely terrifying.

And it is. Synx however are considered "space vermin". Not quite as grandiose as Xenomorphs I'm afraid. More like Rats on a boat just causing trouble, and by trouble I mean if you're stupid they eat you.
If you were on a huge ship and you knew there were synxes about, likely you and everyone else would just try to ignore them. It would be highly recommended that everyone check every nook and cranny of their living quarters before bed, and seal all the places something could sneak inside, but otherwise you would be fine... assuming you aren't disabled, or a child. It's basically like living in Australia with your home close to the wilderness. I mean, have you seen the shit that hovers around homes there? XD You just have to know how to handle it right and you should be fine... unless one is a weeper, or you're a child, or your disabled, etc.

They prey on people's stupidity more then people themselves. I live in an area where most people don't even shut their windows when they leave their homes... so I know how dumb people can be. There are a lot of ways to get into a home when you think about it. An unlocked sliding door, a cracked window, an open garage while someone is working on a car:oblivious to whats going on. A synx will often not even attack right away. They like to scurry inside and hide until the time is right, like a big spider on your wall waiting till you fall asleep.
