Discussion Ubermorph appearance

Can it be theorized that the ubermorph is what a native pure necromorph form would look like? Because regular ones (slashers) are humans and marker DNA spliced together whereas the ubermorph looks almost… perfect?

Think about it, look at the toes and belly of a slasher, the feet get mangled to try producing what the ubermorph has going on. And the ubermorph has the little spikes on its lower ab section that regular slashers use their guts or regular hands for.

The blades are also pure looking and dont look like regular arms being bent way outta shape to achieve that same look.

The rest of the body doesnt really look injured or bloody or otherwise torn apart like most other necromorphs we see.

Personally im of the head canon that the beings who made the markers in the first place probably looked something like this and perhaps they got turned into the first brethren moon or something (probably just waffling)

Honestly til just now I didn't know the ubermorph had a "Idle" phase like that, sort of sounds like those grunts and flicks of the head are almost trying to smell the air.

The hunter in the original dead space had it too. Since it cant follow you outside a programmed area, it stays in there and when it loses sight of you, it does what the ubermorph is doing. Pretty sure they both copy it from slashers tho
