That was the most important aspect of the creature. Not only was he furious and in a rage but he was scared, because to me there's nothing scarier than something huge that's spooked.

However, the one time we actually see MGP eat someone, he definitely uses his mouth. Why would he have two different ways of eating?

matt reeves said that there were things that the monster was able to do that they didn't have a place or the budget to show in the movie...and i'm assuming this was one of them

i guess this was to just let us know that the monster can do something else instead of putting things in its mouth.

I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty certain that if I were in the situation, I wouldn't be too worried about accurately representing what the monster was doing.

Run! Run! Some creature whose head appears vaguely bat-like, and it had 2 "elbows" per arm, what's that called, "multi-articulated" wha? Thanks internet lurker, and it had 2 smaller arms that served no purpose near as I could tell ... anyways, it's approximately 25 stories tall, but this is in a "4 legged stance" ...

I think it just had teethy tubes on its belly that it grabbed people with. Then, it may have thrown them into its mouth or sucked them into its stomach.
