Edit: I have my own question. Do Gloktigis have their own sort of intellgence? Can they speak like Glukkons and think like Vykkers? |
Oddworld plants: Opple trees, elder trees, popberries…
Gloktigi are a complete mystery. We've seen them as pets, but we don't know anything about their intelligence or origins. Sekto's two personal Gloktigi at the end of Stranger's Wrath almost seem to listen to and understand him, but they'd attack Stranger whether they were told to or not. They're also robotic, which doesn't make them good examples. |
Lifetrees, sligbane, grimroses, slognip, cud-cosies, laizies, naffodils
...my fanfic involves a florist. Don't ask. Those Gloktigi were cyborgs, like the outlaw semi-autos, flamers, or Elboze Freely. |
Those outlaws are actually creatures in armor. That's why Elboze had the weak spot on his back - he had lost the armor plate that went there.
|
Oh no, I beg to differ! Whether they lost the limbs in fights or had them removed, those are actual robot limbs. Packrat Palooka does them, apparently.
Elboze Freely is a complete cyborg, all his limbs are replaced, his jaw, and Odd knows what else. He still has some meaty parts left, but doesn't appear to have any skin. I expect he had a disagreement with a flamer back in his minion days. |
Uh... is this some sort of fan-fic theory or are you actually basing it on something?
|
These days, it seems like the line between canon and fiction is becoming quite thin with a large portion of the Oddworld fan base.
|
elboze freely has got armour on he is not made of robotic stuff thats why he sais "who forgot my back armour!"
|
elboze freely is a big mistake...
anyway I see him as an outlaw with robodic features to enhance his competances... |
I alos have another question. How long has Sekto's reign had been going on for? Many years, I'm supposing. I was thinking 20-30 years, but the Clakkerz seem almost too civilized.
|
I'm not sure how much time... I'd say 5 years, but it's a wild guess
|
Windmill picture pls? One out of MO.
|
Just go onto TOGG.

|
Then figure out how.
|
I'd say Sekto would have been around for much longer than five years; he would have had to have acheived some level of power to build the dam in the first place and target all the steefs. Then it would have taken some time for the Mongo valley to become a the desert and for the Clakkers to move in and supplant the grubbs.
This could be a topic for a seperate thread. |

Questions
When is Tex named? In the credits? Somewhere in the cutscene? In some behind the scenes commentary or interview?
Also, what the heck is a Mug? |
1. im not sure how people found out his name.
2. a mug is a meetle which has been captured by the industrialists and fed meat instead of vegies and the industrials use them as a fighting creature. |

The Glukkon in Munch's Oddysee that speaks with a Texan accent is credited as “Tex Glukkon” in the game's credits, which is actually a description rather than a name. But that's where the name comes from.

I'm pretty sure he is entirely cyborg. As I said, all his limbs and his jaw are replaced, and his organic parts are heavily armoured.
What do you mean, out of place? The sligs have mechanical limbs, and they can control them when they never even had any legs! That means that they probably don't have the brain function to control them either, yet they do! Packrat is a genius amounst thieves, it'd be a cinch for him to perform such... "operations". |
The Glukkons are mass-industrialists with close relations to twisted Vykkers scientists. The Outlaws are common-society miscreants with no formal system of business or education.
Sligs being given mechanical legs makes us realise how puny they are without them. Outlaws pack a mean punch without robotic additions. There's no reason for them to exist. |
Slig Question
A bit of an odd question. Would it be possible to give a Slig (not a crawling one) a wedgie?
|
No, underwear is required, which Sligs do not have, and don't give me that "but they could" bullshit. And they don't wear "mechanical pants," they wear mechanical legs.
|
Slig Wedgies
Of course they don't. I'm almost certain you actually see the majority of a Sligs body while in pants in a few of the FMVS (Brewmasters assistant comes to mind) and it looks like they're going commando. Then again, Lulu's valet jumps out of his pants and you can see purple material on his tail. Thanks for the leg thing. It was largely wondering if you could wedgie them with just their legs, but no.
|
I wasn't referring to you, par say, when I talked about the "but they could" thing. I was referring more to the general over-analyzing populace of the GD forum. :)
|
I know. I didn't feel offended, it was just a comment.
|
I have a question. On the offical site for SW, it says that Sekto was able to suck the life out of everybody that wanted to know who he was. If so, why didn't he try to suck the life out of Stranger. Did he want him alive or are Steef not affected by his vibrant glow?
|
Maybe it meant if he wants to kill people he sucks the life from them.
|
:
From memory, it didn't necessarily say he was able to suck the life out of everybody; just whomever his host is. I would assume that an Octigi would have to subdue an enemy before suckering onto it. |

Yes, I read it, and I'm thinking that there must be a misundering. |
yes me too.
|
:
As for the host comments, Stranger wasn't exactly very 'close' to Sekto. hah |
:
|
It's simply an allusion to Sekto's parasitic secret identity. It's an example of advertising liscense. I wouldn't take it any more literally than I would Homo Sapien Syrup or Good Human Ice Cream, both used to advertise Abe's Oddysee.

I think it is more of a spirit, vitality or "will to carry on" thing, rather than a literal effect.

Does anyone have a cool oddworld backround?
|
A few people do, judging by the thread in OT. You could ask that question there. Or if you really wanted to ask the question in an Oddworld-exclusive way, you could start your own thread here in GD.
But this thread is probably not the best place to ask it. |
