So... is thre a definite story behind the almighty raisin? or is there only fan fiction about it?

He used to be a tree, and later became the stump we know and love. He was moved below ground to escape the industrialists, and can psychically see through the eyes of the Ratz.

Ah... okay. thank you.
(so awkward he used to be a tree through... but that's still cool.)

I'm not sure if this is the right thread, but does anybody else think this guy looks a lot like Stranger?;

hmmm.. well, technically that is an Oddworld question so...

yeah. he is a little stranger-esque...

Not really, I think he looks like a Starwars character. The way he dresses.
Maybe his facial features may resemble Stranger in a way, though.

He is a Star Wars character.

no he doesn't look like Stranger
not every mean looking furry face looks like Stranger

well that's my opinion

So true...

That actually looks more like stranger than the other picture. :P Just a robe like thingy and a big gun.

lol
I had a shave since then :p

But still... that second picture looks a little closer.

How old do steefs get? Does anyone know?

I know. It took me... a while to find a furry picture of you.

To tell you the truth, Arxryl, we really have little information on most species of SW, compared to the information on characters of Abe's adventures. We don't have a single clue on what Gloktigis seem to do, besides kill Stranger. We have little information on Oktigi, as well as Wolvarks. I have no idea how Outlaws accuire technology. Yet what I must say, is that the information we are given, is enough to say that is all what we need to say that we know them.

I do know that Gloktigi gaurds are used to protect the Glukkon queen, Margeret.

And that all of the outlaws' stuff is looted from other species (usually Clakkerz).

Okay. thank you for answering my question!

I would like to know where you got that. I have never heard it.

Xav, wasn't that picture a few years ago? Belgium looks beautiful! And you, too, of course;)

In AO there is some 'camp fires'... Who would set some fire? Maybe some Sligs because of a cold night?

Probably. It may also be one of those things that can only be explained with the reson that they (being the game makers) needed a little bit of light in the area.

There is an image in the 10 Years of Oddworld art book, pg. 228, bottom right pick. Look around and you can see two Gloktigi gaurds among a Glukkon, Maggie herself, and the Kinto slaves she is using for transport.

I'd say they are body gards of all the important persons from the industrial world.

makes me wonder why molluck doesn't have some

But it doesn't actually say that they are body guards. They could be there to watch.

You b*****d Xav! That kind of hair is exactly the kind I want, but cannot havre, due to school regulations! Grrrr!!!!
Nate, I don't know whether to take the fact you quoted that comment about me into your sig as a compliment or insult. ;)

And on topic, I'd imagine the Gloktigi are bodyguards indeed, as they're massive muscly things that probably would have little to no other purpose.

I thought that he had the one slig with him... or was he just a kind of servant?

What he is saying is 'I wonder why Molluck doesn't have some Gloktigi as body guards.'

Oh..........
maybe Molluk wanted to be a penny pincher and pay less for a few sligs.

I wouldn't doubt that, at all.

Yeah, that's probably the case, actually.

Anybody have any clue about when a new oddworld inhabitants designed game will come out?
Is the other things mentioned such as Squeek, Hand of Odd, and Sligstorm still coming out?

Not for a looooong time. They've stopped making games, and have moved on to film. Their current project, Citizen Siege, is not Oddworld related, but if successful, will pave the way for Oddworld movies. They will be written with games in mind, and licensed to other developers (with heavy influence from Lorne) to produce not accompanying games, but complementary games.

Take it as me agreeing with at least half of your sentiment in the Bloopers thread.

And when I posted it I meant it as a sort of complement. Not a put down by any means...

Is abe's ponytail implanted? Or is it just natural hair growing from his head? This has alway puzzled me..

Citizen Siege will be both a movie and a game. So, you answered his question incorrectly. I think he asked when the next game made by Oddworld Inhabitants will be made, and the answer would be around the time the Citizen Siege is released.

His ponytail is actually feathers. Mudokons evolved from birds, and that and the beak-like face are the few traits left.

EDIT: Ahh, double post, sorry!

OH... Well that's very interesting. Thank you.

Hm, I didn't think it was feathers. So that's why their heads and mouths look so similar to a birds.

that could be it... Molluck has some authority on General Dripik, no?
so he could have Sligs for a cheap price :p

Oh, yeah. Tons of authority over Dripik.
Heh, he probably got them for free.:p

Where did this idea that mudokons were descended from birds come from?

Molluck probably didn't have them because Gloktigi hadn't been introduced into the Oddworld universe yet or thought of.
Maybe Molluck wasn't quite important enough for that protection...the only others we know are Lady Margeret herself and Sekto, who owned a whole river, which I'm sure is worth more than Rupturefarms.

I can't remember where the Mudokon/bird idea came from/ But thinking more about it...that would explain the hand/foot structure quite well, if we look at bird skeletons.
