important question

Spoiler below!

I'm having trouble in deciding what it actually is as an umbilical cord since some of the workers were female but...

What is it anyway?

[jo291]

its a umbilical cord not a penis. sorry you perverts out there but um yeah.

Fun Fact:
ESRB was interested in knowing this too

[EadTaes]

So what is it? Or you keeping the answer for an other penumbra game?

[Thomas]

While there might or might not be an official answer... we would like it to be open to interpretation.

I'm guessing some sort of waste recycling thing? Apparently other people saw the tube going up its butt so it may filter their crap to drinking water like that new space station.

Well, to be realistic:

First of all, look at the size of it... Penis? No way man! Can you turn you're penis in to you're butt? ...Don't answer!
Second, it MIGHT be penis, that's turned and grown to something else 'cause of the aliens: Like Lee said before, recycling 'thing'. That's more better than a penis.
Since, I don't really think that Thomas and Jens are so pervert that they start to make penis' in a video game to they're monsters... O.o

And third, without that 'thing', people take those as zombies. With it, it looks more like some sort of an alien.

[Naked? No]

Intestines? lol?

Or on the other hand, some of the previous monsters from Unbirth had some mature content like boobs and stuff. So I'd say it's a mutated penis, which, of course, is... -- No sorry, it's way too disgusting. :

BOOBS?! Like what did have BOOBS in Unbirth?!

This topic is pretty weird... O.o xD

Well it's placed where it looks like a belly button would be and some of the workers were women. Unless they all turned into asexual or androgynous monsters that's no dodongda.
