Considering the Mudokon in the foreground has the strand of hair from it's head, but the rest don't, that seems to show they're different. They're also a somewhat different colour to the Mud in the foreground. Even if they're only meant to be simple and done quickly, a couple of strands of hair wouldn't take long, surely? It seems unlikely that that level of confusion would be created merely because of a few missing hairs. Their head shape is also quite different as well.
Regardless of 'quick sketches' or not, it seems unlikely that level of difference between the two would be created merely because it was a quick job.

Seems likely enough to me. And as others have noted, Mudokons do not all have ponytail. MO even introduced us to shaven‐headed Scrubs.

Firstly look at this http://oddworldlibrary.net/archives/...M/CAOM0004.jpg As you can see the big red round shape with a lighter figure drawn in the middle of it, now i will outline said picture with crappy Photoshop Elementls 3.0. But as you can see.....ITS A STEEF! Or atleast thats what i think it is; horns, five fingers, kinda large in the upper torso area.
|
Interesting deduction. Going by its triangular share and demonic look, I had assumed it was a Glukkon, and that the horns were simply to make it seem more evil. This perception of Glukkons as bad would be new to Abe, who has been made to have great trust and respect for his bosses (although not so new if the whole Mudokon Pops/retirement plan idea still exists.
If it’s a Steef, does this mean Steef have been taken from the SW story and fitted into Abe’s. Are they replacing/being joined with Scrabs and Paramites as sacred animals hunted for food by RuptureFarms? Are they replacing Shrykull as something Abe can transform into? It’s hard to imagine exactly the role they can take in Mudokon society. Unlike Grubbs, Mudokons seem entirely capable of looking after themselves (with the military leadership of Abe), even if they had help from the Guardians in the past.

Are you stupid? Did you not pay attention to what Xavier said, and not to mention, what Nate said (which you even quoted)? Open your eyes before shitting all over the topic.

Now when did you get so offensive? Shame on you.

That should be "would have" or "would've". A common mistake, but spread the word.
|
Shame on me, for I have actually edited this mistake from people’s post in the past, along with that depressing ‘I could care less’ error.[/QUOTE]

Even though it probably is just a sketch for insperation, I reckon Abe's freind is a Scubatoad
|
If it is, it’s good to see that their limbs have grown. Maybe they can row now. ;)

Or it could be some form of natural threat, which would be refreshing, not having all of the baddies industralists, but then again, Ocatgis were dipicted in this way.
|
Octigi form the richest industrial family there is. Ain’t a lot natural about them.

Strangers story was supposed to be helping Munch
|
I don’t think that’s strictly true. Stranger’s actions undoubtedly helped Munch and the Gabbit species by allowing passage upstream from Sekto Springs Dam and removing the water that was flooding Ma’Spa, but we don’t know that any interaction between Stranger and Munch was ever planned, although it makes sense that it was at least considered in some capacity, considering the overlapping territories, time& scales, and stories of both of them.

But what is the Gloktige in SW that is emerging from the water at the ending?
|
You should read the F.A.Q. It’s a cracking peruse. I like these paragraphs:
:
The Steef that Stranger talks to is not Sekto, it’s the Olden Steef that used to protect the Grubbs. He was hunted and captured by Sekto, and used as a host body, while his horns hang on the wall directly above Sekto’s office.
The octopus creature in the water is the real Sekto, an Oktigi, a parasitic creature that takes control of a host’s body, in this case the Olden Steef. It seems he survived and escaped.

Venks told me they were a genetically created thing between Glukkons and Oktigi...
|
This is correct. Gloktigi are hybrids created as ultra‐intelligent, ultra‐vain, elite bodyguards.

Remember people, these are conceptual. We are attributing to these drawings a degree of accuracy that does not exist. It's like being told that a fossil is two million years old, then counting the years to its age since being thus informed.

QFT (the first time I remember ever doing this).

I meant the "wallpaper" included in the Scuba Toad's pic that you posted, that with the image of the Mongo and this phrase: "Wish you were here, at beautiful Mongo River".
|
This does not exist anywhere else. The backround of the postcard is a still from the ‘army test’ CG test made for
Stranger’s Wrath, in case anyone with the
Movies of Oddworld DVD wants to create it themselves.

so Ma Spa (spelling) is around the mongo river? i never knew that and i still haven't figured out where the mongo river is on that map in the Art of Oddworld book. I am not doubting you, but could you tell me where you found this informatiuon i would like to further my knowledge of oddworldian things.

Ma’Spa is the very source of the Mongo River. An early idea was that Sekto Spings Dam actually encircled Ma’Spa to get its water, but it was changed to a more regular dam for, I presume, two good reasons:
- It means the spring water Sekto sells isn’t actually spring water, making him a liar.
- It means the dam flooded the river valley upstream, making more of a commentary on the disastrous environmental effects of real‐world dams.
The Mongo River has never been explicitly identified on the map of Abe’s and Munch’s adventures. It could be the river from which Munch starts his Oddysee, although there’s no reason I know of that it need be. If it is, we can’t see its source, explaining why it doesn’t correlate with our map of the Mongo River.
