Meredith Quill May 5, 2014 Share May 5, 2014 Facts we know about Skitters. They move quickly on six legs, attack with formidable claws, and possess a tough exoskeleton. They are able to use harnessed children to communicate with humans. While performing a dissection, Anne and Lourdes find a harness beneath a Skitter’s exoskeleton, suggesting skitters are the enslaved or bio engineered subjects of the Espheni overlords. Skitters may have once been a different type of life form, as the harness seems to genetically modify the host. (It is revealed in the episode "Mutiny" that the harnesses will gradually transform the harnessed kids, a process that can continue even if the harnesses are removed. Examples of this can be seen by Rick's ability to stick to walls in addition to his enhanced strength, speed, and agility. In addition to this Megan was shown to have scales on the sides of her head). - Squick. Any other facts and/or speculations? Link to comment
