Meech Environment and Fleech leashes

[MeechShrykull1029]

You know how Scrabs live in deserts, and Paramites live in forests. What kind of environment do you think Meeches live in? I think grasslands, because it's kind of like a mix of desert and forest.

[Moosh da Outlaw]

Sewers, landfills, dumpsters... pretty much filthy, dark places, methinks.

[MeechShrykull1029]

Why would Meeches live in a place made by industrialists?

[Moosh da Outlaw]

Because sewers are filthy and dark.
I don't know, they just seem like the kind of creatures who would like that sort of thing. They sort of remind me of cockroaches.

[MeechShrykull1029]

Meeches live in the wild. And anyway, Meeches became extinct probably because Meech Munchies were so popular. I don't think anyone would want to eat food made out of something found in a sewer.

Awww, c'mon, loads of people eat rats!

lol only kidding.

But seriously, people do eat cockroaches in some places. Just check this out: http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm...rkies.badtaste

Mmmm...tequila flavored worm suckers...

Maybe they lived in deserts and forests?

[Chronicler]

Meeches live in the wild.

How DO you know that they lived in the wild? We don't have ANY clue on the biology of Meeches at all. All we know about them is that they were made into Meech munchies. So for all we know, Meeches could've lived in industrial places like sewers and whatnot.

Well...ahem....anyways, this is just a total guesstimate but I would like to believe that they lived in humid tropical regions like rain forests. I don't know how. Their early designs looked like they had wet skin (I have no clue why. It was just how it seemed to me).

[MeechShrykull1029]

The only creatures that don't live in the wild are creatures that are made by Vykkers, and Oddworld Inhabitants hadn't thought of Vykkers while making Abe's Oddysee.

Again, I must say, we have no clue how many creatures in Oddworld lived. Meeches might actually be at home in industrial places. I'm not saying they don't live in the wild, I'm just saying that we have no clue how they lived.

Plus. Fleeches were apparently made by Vykkers (Or atleast upgraded by them) and they live in the wild.

[Nate]

The only details given by Alf (far from the most reliable source) are that Meeches run in packs and they have been found both in fields and on plateaus.

Fleeches only live in the wild because they're flushed down the toilet.

[Slaveless]

Oddworld Inhabitants hadn't thought of Vykkers while making Abe's Oddysee.

In 1996, Steven Olds had came up with an underground laboratory for Vykkers in Munch's Oddysee. Steven Olds worked on Abe's Oddysee as well, which was released in 1997.

Meeches were suppose to have lived in the area that was later known as Rupture Farms 1029. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they were also suppose to have lived in places like Scrabania and Paramonia...

[Wil]

How DO you know that they lived in the wild?

Because they were wild animals. Equally, they could have lived in sewers for all we know. Oddworld Rats do the same, and according to Alf they can be eaten as a delicacy. Slaveless is right: according to Matt Lee, ‘[Meeches’] habitat was local to the area of RuptureFarms and not found beyond this region’.

I don't think people ate Meech Munchies just so they could beat the world record.

[Bullet Magnet]

[Meeches’] habitat was local to the area of RuptureFarms and not found beyond this region.

It's almost as if Rupture Farms specifically targeted vulnerable and commercially non-viable species to make into their most popular products. It's astonishing to propose that they managed this by accident, but surely they are not such bad businessgluks as to have done it on purpose.

[MeechShrykull1029]

What if RuptureFarms was once Meechonia? It might have been a grassland.

[Wings of Fire]

Why does it need to be called Meechonia? Monsiac Lines is not called Mudokonia and neither is the Mongo River called Grubbonia.

[MeechShrykull1029]

Yes, the person who wrote it called it Meecharnia, but as Alf said, it would be similar to Paramonia and Scrabania.

[Xavier]

"Meecharnia" is a name made up by the guy who wrote the question...

this place has no official name yet

[Nate]

It would only be an appropriate name if the place was a) inhabited by Muds and b) those Muds worshipped Meeches. We know not whether either of those are true.

[MeechShrykull1029]

But we know from Alf's answer, that the place with Meeches is similar to Paramonia and Scrabania.

[Nate]

Not necessarily. There are a lot of ifs and maybes in that question.

[MeechShrykull1029]

But we know that Meeches are sacred (why else would Abe travel through Meecharnia?).

[Fuzzle Guy]

He didn't.

And to the best of my knowledge, he also travles through the Slig Barracks, but I doubt the Mudokon's consider them sacred.

[Nate]

Abe didn't travel through Meechania.

If there were still Meeches and if mudokons worshipped them, then Abe would have had to traverse Meechania.

We know that item (i) is not true but we don't know whether item (ii) was true. Considering that it was said that they were not a hugely widespread species, it is more than possible that Mudokons did not have contact with them.

[Wings of Fire]

According to your logic Meeches are sacred because Abe travels through Meecharnia and Abe travels through Meecharnia because Meeches are sacred? petitio principii is always a good fallacy in any circumstances.

Also if you read the question carefully the guy basically asks Alf 'If there was a Meecharnia that was like Scrabania or Paramonia would it have been included. The answer would have been yes if Sligs were used.

[MeechShrykull1029]

He didn't.

And to the best of my knowledge, he also travles through the Slig Barracks, but I doubt the Mudokon's consider them sacred.

He had to travel to Slig Barracks to open one of the electric barriers to SoulStorm Brewery. As Alf said, he would have to travel through Meecharnia if Meeches weren't extinct. This makes Meeches sacred.

[arkaznor]

The tribe that worshiped paramites was the Mudomo tribe, and the Mudanchee tribe worshiped scrabs.

But there used to be an under ground tribe of meech worshipers, the Mudmeechees/ Mudonchos.

[MeechShrykull1029]

This is a theory.
