Probably Slegs are the same as Slogs, but the wild version like Xavier said! That's why the sign in SW with a Slog opposed to a Sleg

Jordan 09-03-2010 06:37 AM

And the fact that Slogs instantly kill Abe as opposed to Stranger taking damage from them before being eaten. That's why they don't seem as deadly in MO, because Abe and Munch have health.

Dynamithix 09-03-2010 06:44 AM

Oh yeah, Slegs. That's it. :D

Wolvarks were cool too.

haha touché. MO often skips my mind, for I've played that least.



Wolvarks never looked that much like Oddworld to me, either. They looked too similar to Outlaws. Perhaps the same biological family.

MuMI 09-03-2010 07:04 AM

I really don't like the fact that Abe and Munch have health! Slogs should 'one bite kill'!!!
... but MO would be harder if there wasn't any 'health bar' for the heros. Anyway, I stick with AO & AE - No health! :)

Apart from with Bees and Fleeches.

True, but I think Bees and Fleeches are challenging and that's awesome! That way we can see how dangerous Oddworld really is!

Bees were easy to avoid but Fleeches, ugh... They were a pain in the ass.

The weirdest thing about slegs is their infamous disappearing act. As hunting methods go, its not terribly tenable for the survival of the species as a whole.

At least slogs get to eat their kills.

It's possible.

Fil The Slig 09-05-2010 02:04 AM

Oh God oh god! Maybe this is a new oddworld creature!

Zukan 09-05-2010 02:26 AM

That's an original creature made by Bobby Chiu. I think Lorne is just a fan of his art (and vise-versa), I heard they've worked together on a few things a while ago but I have no idea if it's been Oddworld related at all.

Check out some of his other art, it's brilliant stuff.

jmchandler 09-05-2010 06:14 AM

Oh well...mystery solved.....Too bad. I really thought it looked Oddworldish.

Dynamithix 09-05-2010 09:11 AM

Me too, now I'm disappointed... again... D:

Stranger4002 09-05-2010 09:21 AM

Ok; well know we've solved this mystery, I think its time we close this thread.

Fan is an art of Lorne?

Dynamithix 09-05-2010 09:47 PM

He means Lorne is a fan of Bobby's art and Bobby probably Lorne's art.

Maybe this Bobby Chiu got his inspiration to choupug from Oddworld. It looks much like an oddworld creature.

Wow, well spotted! I like Bobby Chiu's art a lot, I've been keeping a distant eye on him for years. I can't believe I missed this.

On the other hand I'm truly disappointed this isn't some new oddworld creature...

Fil The Slig 09-06-2010 09:43 AM

Well im dissapointed....

Because it is odd

Dynamithix 09-06-2010 11:03 AM

Sure is.

Fil The Slig 09-06-2010 11:51 AM

:(

Dipstikk 09-06-2010 12:42 PM

Yeah, I knew I'd seen that somewhere else, and it wasn't Oddworld related.

smeghead25 09-06-2010 08:15 PM

It's Squeak!

>.>

Okay, so maybe I'm being jsut a little too optimistic...

Maybe Lorne liked the design so much it's being used in game, hence a little tease on Twitter?

And there's that damned optimism again...

RyuuFox 09-06-2010 11:50 PM

Hmm i heard of that name somewhere...

MuMI 09-07-2010 11:30 AM

I hope it is going to be used in any of the new games! :)

MeechMunchie 09-08-2010 12:39 PM

I doubt it.

MuMI 09-08-2010 01:13 PM

Yeah, me too, but, anyways...

MeechMunchie 09-09-2010 12:44 AM

But anyways what? You're going to keep hoping even though you are aware it won't happen?

Admirable.

Fil The Slig 09-09-2010 06:55 AM

Now you're dead meat.

Stop spamming, everyone.

Wil 09-10-2010 01:30 PM

It's like learning Clakkerz are actually from some Cartoon Network show, except frustrating because it's not.

Slag? 09-10-2010 01:30 PM

Sorry, But I laughed so hard.

Fil The Slig 09-11-2010 12:05 PM

No uǝƃǝlʇuǝɯ for me then?
I'm gonna cry now :(

paramiteabe 09-16-2010 09:11 PM

I know this guy he is a member on www.conceptart.org which I am a member of as well. In his gallery ad this creature is shown. In his bio on conceptart.org it states that he has been working on some top secret projects lately and that creature is not even in his actual gallery. I clicked on his gallery because when I saw the picture of the creature I was thinking this can be an artist working for Lanning. Perhaps it is squeek and the top secret project is indeed Squeek? There is a strange quinsidence going on here. Here is his gallery poster you can see that there is more to this than what we think. It looks like this thing is waring a funny suit. I can't get a larger picture because its a thumbnail image but interesting. Odd don't you think?
