==About=='''''Reptile ''''' is the twelfth song from the track on 1994 release, 's ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]. '' This song is characteristic of the band's early 90s "industrial" sound, as it opens with an eerie, quiet machine-like sound collage that transitions into a nearly identical-sounding musical composition. Allegedly, it is a sample of a machine that slaughters pigs, though no sources have been found that indicate this.

The song has always been performed with the beeps as an introduction. During the breakdown, Trent Reznor sings "please don't hurt me" followed by a desperate cry. Recently on the [[Year Zero Warm-Up Tour]], the intro is further extended with a more articulate sound and Trent Reznor whispering over it. This song was also featured in the [http://www.nin.com/current/radioshows/index.html Boston, MA radio performance], ([[Peter Murphy]], Reznor, [[Atticus Ross]], and [[Jeordie White]]) on June 23, 2006.
