Speaking of the MoM, how the heck is she supposed to "give birth" to anything when the lower half of her body is a snake? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

As far as I know snakes are perfectly capable of giving birth even if the lower half of their bodies is a snake.

Technically, I believe snakes lay eggs, which generally isn't considering giving birth.

True, but some species of snakes (and lizards) hatch the eggs inside of them and that could be seen as giving birth.

I was going to comment on that and further define that few snake species are also capable of live birth, but it seems there are many snake species that do this:

See? With a tiny bit of an imagination it is easy to see MoM (...LOL) giving birth. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

I wouldn't know. Are we are talking about the same Echidna here?

EDIT: I checked Google, and unfortunately, Ekhis is one of the first results in all searches. They even have a picture of her. That's a pity, because I'd have loved to leave someone wondering why I'm talking about small spiky proto-mammals.

g define:echidna
In the most ancient layers of Greek mythology Echidna (ekhis, meaning "she viper") was called the "Mother of All Monsters". Echidna was described by Hesiod (Theogony) as a female monster, who mothered with Typhon every major monster in the entire Greek mythos. Usually considered offspring of Uranus and Gaia, or sometimes Ceto. She had the face of a beautiful woman but the body of a serpent (see also Lamia). ...
