[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5855265, member: 57383"] A separate gizzard at the end of each stalk seems a very unergonomical and inefficient means of food processing, a central grinder makes much more sense. Besides, that'd be contrary to the original text, which says the grinding stomach is inside the main body. I prefer the "space warp" solution - the throats are shorter on the inside than they are on the outside. That means a Draedan's a SIDRAT! ;) Incidentally, that 5164 mph I calculated earlier is approximately the muzzle velocity of a new Navy railgun BAE Systems test-fired recently. If a Draeden could swallow that fast, it could probably regurgitate that fast, suggesting one of its most devastating attacks is [I][B]spitting[/B][/I]. Hmm, and it has a stomach full of huge diamond boulders... :hmm: [/QUOTE]
