But you knew Stangs were an Oddworld species, right? If not, I’d have to assume you haven’t been reading the Encyclopædia.

Bullet Magnet 05-14-2008 10:34 PM

I dunno. I thought they might have been a Nodism.

The meeches lived maybe in what is actually the stockyard (it's near from Rupture Farms).

abe is now! 05-31-2008 03:23 AM

They lived in the Monsaic Lines... I asked this too in the previous Oddworld Q&A. And Max told me there are two screens in AO (in Necrum) where we can see Meeches but I don't rember it.

MeechShrykull1029 05-31-2008 08:59 AM

1. Necrum is from AE.
2. Someone said that Meeches couldn't live in Monsaic Lines, because they would kill Muds.
3. This is a theory that you can see Meech carvings in Monsaic Lines. I don't think it's true.

Classification: Wildlife
Featured in: Abe's Exoddus (extinct)

Very little is known about the Meech. Meeches have become extinct (or so it seems) after they were harvested for Meech Munchies.

Meeches were a strange looking creature with three jaws. They walked on hind legs and had 2 very tiny arms. Like most Oddworld wildlife, Meeches had no eyes and would have used other senses to see. Sketches of Meeches can be found inside native Mudokon caves.
Meeches stand at a reminder to us as to what could happen to species if they continue to be exploited.

Read it.

MeechShrykull1029 05-31-2008 12:52 PM

But there are no Meech carvings in the games, only in other parts of these places not seen in the games.

In fact doesn't say that there are Meech's carvings in the Monsac Lines we saw in A. Monsaic Lines is a big place, and I think Abe passed through a little part of it.

This is not what the Dear Alf question and answers says. The questioner only asks if Abe would have to travel through ‘Meecharnia’ had the Meeches not been extinct. Alf gives the affirmative. Either way, this has no direct bearing on whether the Mudokons worshipped Meeches.

Scrabania and Paramonia were built for the worship of scrabs and paramites respectively. It stands to reason therefore that Meecharnia or Meechonia or Meechapalooza or whatever would have been built for the worship of meeches.

Gosh, I just posted in OD. The world will now end.

A desert and forest were built for the worship of species native to them? Surely you either mean the temples or that they were named out of a reverence for the native animals?

Although thinking about it that's a damn fine point.

arkaznor 05-31-2008 02:48 PM

Ahh!! Splat as come to the OD! Every one horde the caned food, and run to the bomb shelters!!

Ok, if there was a temple built to worship meechs, then wouldn't that mean that it was built in meechs native land. And if that's true, then wouldn't that mean that Rupture Farms would of destroyed it, to make room for its own construct.

Munch's Master 06-01-2008 03:40 AM

This must be Splat's first visit to OD in about 4 years, surely a sign that Armageddon is nigh and the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse approach.

And yes, that is pretty much what I figured. Scrabania and Paramonia exist because Scrabs and Paramites are sacred. Abe had to travel through those areas because the animals were sacred. Since Alf said he would have had to travel through Meecharnia or whatever if Meeches were still alive, that means the place exists and Meeches were also sacred.

I will say this, based on the 1 sketch of a Meech on TOGG, they are incredibly cool looking creatures. I just wonder what colour they were. I alwys figured they were an orangey-beige colour to look at them, but if they lived on open fields and were predators I'd imagine they were green.

Bullet Magnet 06-01-2008 05:55 AM

Meeches were not part of Shrykull. Are we to assume that there was a tribe of mudokons worshipping every large predator on Mudos?

Zerox 06-01-2008 08:34 AM

Or every small predator for that matter (Fleeches, anyone?).

AIN and MeechShrykull...lol.

MeechShrykull1029 06-01-2008 08:38 AM

Fleeches might have been sacred because of one of the Weirdos.

No, but could that not be because the Meech is extinct? We don't know, do we. And also, as already stated, if Meeches were alive Abe would've gone through Meecharnia, and such areas were sacred areas so they must have revered Meeches. Plus the whole Meech cave sketches thing. Shrykull alone doesn't mean Meeches weren't sacred.

Not saying they revered every predator, but that Meeches were probably the 3rd sacred species. Of course, truth is we don't know.

To be honest I don't think Fleeches are sacred. They were created by Vykkers, and they don't particularly have anything that would make Mudokons worship them.

And also I think they stink, because they live in the Oddworld's sewerages. Then, they aren't legendary creatures like Paramites and Scrabs, they don't defend anything, they are in the Necrum because they come to surface from sewerages. I don't think Mudokons fear them, I think they can avoid and kill them easily. They were also Glukkons pets... how could they be sacred?

MeechShrykull1029 06-01-2008 01:40 PM

There is a wild type of Fleech. Maybe it's sacred.

And maybe it evolves into a Meech, oh wait.....

MeechShrykull1029 06-01-2008 01:44 PM

That's what I said in the Oddworld Q&A thread. Well, not really. I did mention Fleches turning into Meeches.

Fuzzle Guy 06-01-2008 02:02 PM

Great minds think alike :D

For one thing, don't take everything Alf says as canon. He has never stated that Meeches were sacred at any time, so we don't know that there definately would have been a temple. That answer may have been a quickie to shut the guy up, as Alf is wont to do.

Also, what are you talking about Meech cave sketches?

Yeah, there is always that with Alf. You never know what is and isn't true.


And read abe-is-now's post on the previous page quoting Oddworld-Web for the Meech cave thing.

And who told you it? Just for know...

Bullet Magnet.

Jordan 06-04-2008 10:24 AM

Maybe you misread something he said? I don't think BM would say something like that. As far as I know there are no wild Fleeches.

Bullet Magnet 06-04-2008 07:04 PM

The Vykkerz didn't engineer fleeches from scratch, you know.

abe is now! 06-05-2008 04:05 AM

I think Vykker created Fleeches to bo Glukkons's pet, because they are Glukkons's pet. And maybe they protect them from outlaws. It's possible they started producting them with a wildlife's creature, but I don't think anyone knows what it is.

MeechShrykull1029 06-05-2008 04:16 PM

The Vykkers created Fleeches for grooming. That's what the long tongues are for.

Nate 06-05-2008 05:09 PM

Perhaps as personal massagers also? :p

Bullet Magnet 06-05-2008 08:25 PM

Lordy!

abe is now! 06-06-2008 01:18 AM

I know this thread isn't about Fleeches but... could a Fleech be kept on a leash (by industrialists)?

Xavier 06-06-2008 01:46 AM

Well, they are the pets of some of the industrialists, that all we know...

So if they do or not would be a total guess. My guess is no, because wouldn't know around which neck to put it on.

Wil 06-06-2008 02:07 AM

Probably not on a leash. It’s hardly a creature you can take for a walk.

abe is now! 06-06-2008 03:58 AM

Maybe Fleeches are meek when they are with Glukkons...

Wil 06-06-2008 04:35 AM

Where meek means they have a neck and legs?
