TROGLYBITE

This post could belong in several recent discussions, but I'm renewing the talk here because I think it's its own thing. Ive had a bit of fun trying to rename the Xenomorph ( see Xeno Schmeeno!) and I think the whole world agrees that the Xenomorph would be better named The Morb, ( thanks, world!) but Ive stumbled across a real life naming error, and wanted to set it straight: it's not the Trilobite, it's the Troglybite. I heard a stuntman referring to it as the Troglybite in Furious Gods, and wondered why no one corrected him. Then, re-reading Lindelof's script, there it is: Troglybite. Apparently all the creature names came from DL, unless they first surfaced in a JS rewrite we haven't seen, or RS put them on the table himself. Which is not unlikely. I like this name. It's uber creepy and makes more sense than Trilobite, I think. Troglobites are unique cave dwelling life forms, usually colorless, possibly translucent and certainly blind. The spelling difference in the script may or may not be intentional. It's likely the name came from RS and his file of hideous terrestrial organisms that JS mentioned in an interview. All the Morb lifeforms do have the feel of something that came from a dark, damp place. Maybe the worm theory is correct ( not that I was questioning it). Maybe Prometheus did show us the origin of the Morb, in that little worm. Big things have small beginnings. Maybe the Goo isn't meant to create vile mutations, but its origin is something vile, like the thing in the mural, and it's characteristics are passed on to whatever the Goo touches. Maybe these demons are how the Goo reproduces itself. The Goo is life and death in one package. A remnant of the Gods, taken by the Engineers, for which they have payed dearly. :D
