Talk:Crawler (The Descent)

message: This really does not deserve its own page. I suggest merging this with The Descent and making this a redirect. Otherwise I might nominate this for AfD. Konman72 04:32, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Notable?

message: The book (not the movie) The Descent also features alternately-evolved human-like creatures who live in caves and kill people who intrude on their territory. They are referred to by a different term ("Hadals") but the similarities are striking. Worth a mention in the article?
:I think so. Nubula 17:11, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Other appearances of similar creatures

message: How can they have resorted to cannibalism if they aren't actually humans? Kind of like how zombies aren't technically cannibals, because they aren't technically humans. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Scottiscool (talk • contribs) 07:04, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cannibalism? 

message: I'm not quite sure how those items listed qualify as true scientific errors. While it is true that cave men did not exist in North America prior to that time, my understanding was that the crawlers were basically humanoid creatures that had split off from the human lineage millions of years ago (prior to Australopithecines, and had evolved parallel traits--you'd need millions, rather than thousands, of years to evolve those kinds of traits, anyway). Also on nocturnal vs. diurnal hunting, I'm not sure why anyone would say large game couldn't be hunted during the night just as well, if not better than, during the day. --70.111.106.119 14:07, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Scientific "error"?

message: I saw this movie earlier today, and to me, the Crawlers seem very similar to Wendigos, especially the way they were portrayed in the show Supernatural.  Is it worth a mention?  --James Duggan 04:26, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: * There are a lot of interesting similarities, but I'd say no without director's commentary or similar canon that ties it specifically to that term.  Without a source, the etiology of the idea could have come from other cultural mythology. --70.111.106.119 05:25, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
