oooh, ok.
In that case i'd say Wicket wins. all he needs to do is camp out in a tree and wait until the Alien pursues him up the tree. Although, I think it would take a shit load of arrows to drop the Alien but i think Wicket could attack and retreat until the alien goes down. One Alien is not much of a threat.
Originally posted by Sadako of GirthI dont see an arrow or two slowing down an alien, and I highly doubt the alien is gonna wander about with a bulls eye on its back.
Even with Wicket's spear and arrows...? From an elevated position as postulated earlier...? He could use catapults, that crap looking yet effective ewok-glider, theres a lot in the furry little bastard's favour..
He could rig traps ala Alien3.

How about dead on in the brain...?Look at what the longbow used to do to armour in ye olde days....
And Wicket'd have plenty of time to shoot away while the the alien swings helplessly in a net snare like the heroes got snared in in ROTJ.

She was very black and very hot.
RJ has a point, seems that their exoskeletons would provide protection; not sure how much, but stopping a stone-tipped arrow fired by a 3-foot midget isn't beyond reason.
Fair play. So the more weighty spear might be the best way then..
I thought the main point of the head was that it was acid resistant...
Thats what the predator, seemed to be emphasising to the chick.
And theres a lot of difference between blocking blunt trauma and stopping all that energy concentrated on a shapened point....
It like how its so massively hard to a crack a coconut, for example, but stab it with the tip of a knife or ice pick and its coconut juice time.....
