The final design featured an insectoid head and tusks extending from the mandibles, but was otherwise basically humanoid in physiology, enabling it to be portrayed by a performer in a suit, who could walk unassisted by wires or harnesses. It was a low-tech approach, but, in this instance, the best solution to a specific set of problems. "Often you'll hear filmmakers say, 'Let's do something that doesn't look like a man in a suit,'" Stan Winston commented. "I've said it myself, in fact. 'Let's do something more high-tech, not a man in a suit.' But a man in a suit works just fine as long as you connect the character's mythology as humanoid, as an alien man. Added Stan Winston, "'Man in a suit' only denotes the technology that got you there. As long as it doesn't look like a man in a suit, it doesn't matter if that's the technology you use to get there."
