Consequences of a creature with exposed musculature

+0
−0

In the video game Dino Crisis 3, a recurring boss that the player fights called the Australis (a bio-engineered human-Tyrannosaurus Rex hybrid) that has skin exposing the muscles of its body. An in-game file states that the Australis' ravaged appearance is the by-product of a failed attempt at letting them resist the vacuum pressures and radiation of outer space (something that would later get perfected in the game's final boss, the Cebalrai). Having skin that leaves an organism's musculature on constant display seems to be impractical as this would leave them at risk of infection and injury (as in one cutscene, a swarm of Rigel manage to eat their way through an Australis' skin with ease).

Would such a skin be impractical?
