Muto to be a reptilian monster

From the fairly recent Asian trailer I noticed something that counters my previous thoughts. Muto most likely will be a reptilian lizard. If you look at how in the trailer it's gliding, not an insect flight patter but instead more of a bird. Bees, Butterflies, moths, and any other insect that flies must constantly flap it's wings to sustain flight at all. But birds and even reptilian airborn organisms would flap to gain height and then glide. Which is what I see in the Muto. 

What caused my thoughts about it's insectual side was the cocoon, the eggs alined across the missile and it's roar.

But the aggressiveness, wing form, and flight style make me think otherwise.

What do you think guys? Will the muto be an insect or a reptile

I'm thinking it's neither. There's plenty of animal classes that don't exist anymore. Dinosaurs weren't reptiles or birds, but something else entirely. I'm thinking the Muto is one such creature, a class of animal lost to time.

That is a very interesting point. However because of the evolution from therapod to bird that may be the case of a creature lost in time to wake up in a new world (possibly the cause of it's aggressiveness "future shock") It's habitat ruined by giant concrete structures where it's forests and groves used to lay. I like your point a bunch Duratok.

LEWSHIZZ - I've a feeling that the MUTO are indeed reptillian to some degree. However, I think they might fall into a unique category all of their own. They have aspects that lend themselves to the qualities of both insects and reptiles. Perhaps they're something of which mankind has no knowledge. Regardless, we'll see soon enough. :)

Well, evolving with the help of radiation tends to blur the lines of what exact line of creatures you came from.
