The only similarity I can see is that they both make webs.

are scrabs connected to crabs because the name sounds exactly the same but they have no resemblence when i look at them

Yes, Scrabs are connect to crabs. Meeches and Fleeches are connected to leeches, Gabbits are connected to rabbits, Sligs, Slogs and Slurgs are connected to slugs, Wolvarks are connected to skylarks, Glukkons and Mudokons are connected to the fucking kraken and the goddamn fucking Shrykull is connected to the Archangel Michael.

It all makes sense now!

@Dynamathrix I only played Strager's Wrath until like 2009. And I still haven't gotten to the paramites in Munch's odysee.
So, no.
I always thought slegs were more like pigs. I have no idea why.
And i had no idea that meeches were conected to leeches. I always thought that they were their own design and stuff. But I did see that thier jaws were sorta like barracuda's jaws.

My mind is blown.

CrissCross 04-04-2011 03:15 PM

it's ok its some pretty complex shit

Gwan-Thwei 04-04-2011 05:29 PM

@CrissCross Yeah, I thought so. I also thought that mudokens were more bird-like (or at least reptilian), and glukkons to octopuses.
>googles Skylark<
...wolvarks look more like skinks to me. Not birds.

Pramites always reminded me of termites. It's the whole living in burrows/giant mandibles combo.

Bullet Magnet 04-08-2011 10:18 AM

The back of the torso and arching neck of the scrab reminds be of crab and beetle carapaces, and also of cobra hoods. Made it seem more suited to the desert in spirit.

Jesus Crab?

Gwan-Thwei 04-08-2011 05:03 PM

@novaman
so what you're saying is, paramites might have just one queen, and the majority of paramites be workers, like termites are?
Or am I just missing the point again?

Phylum 04-08-2011 07:59 PM

He's just posting a relevant picture. Don't over-analyse any of his posts.

Gwan-Thwei 04-09-2011 12:37 PM

Ah. And here I thought I had something.

Where in the foodchain do you think Meeches would go? Personaly, I think that they were predators like Scrabs and paramites, but were not as strong as Scrabs and could only kill a Paramite if it were on it's own.

Also, since Paramites are like spiders, does that mean they might have venom too?

I've always been under the impression that all Oddworld creatures have Queens.

Scraby 04-09-2011 02:09 PM

i read that scrabs dont have queens, but almost all others have except for clakkers and slogs

Gwan-Thwei 04-09-2011 02:40 PM

Does that mean steefs have queens?
...ewwww. I bet she's all bulbous and sticky.
But having one queen could be a vulnerability, because if the queen dies, the colony dies, unless there's a new queen to take her place. Wouldn't it make more sense to just have everybody sexual active?

Nate 04-09-2011 05:22 PM

I believe that each species has multiple queens. It's possible that each Mudokon tribe had its own queen, for instance.

Gwan-Thwei 04-09-2011 07:22 PM

Still though, with Steefs being so Ram like, I thought that it worked like deer, or sheep.
And I saw paramites as being like black widow spiders.
But of course, I have no idea how things really work outside of Strangers Wrath, and so again, am speaking nonsense.

Phylum 04-09-2011 07:30 PM

We don't know how things work either, really. What we do know could still be changed by Lorne.

Scraby 04-10-2011 01:18 AM

i think steef dont have queens,dunno i know that mudokons,sligs,glukkons,paramites have queens,and new queens take their place before they die

Dynamithix 04-10-2011 02:14 AM

Paramites have queens? I didn't know that.
