I am turning away from the Sea Rex theory because it was made a year ago from today. So in light of that I am turning to the notion that the creature could very well be a Meetle or a Mug. Because one Meetles and Mugs are that size and two they are land based creatures. The dried up river bed could be ancient and could not even be a dried up river bed.

We don't know. But the creature has legs much like a Meetle's legs. Almost insect like.

insects have an exo-sekeleton, meaning they dont have any bones inside them. So there is no way that could be a Meetle/Mug, even on Oddworld.

Pay attention to the opening sequence of MO - the Meetle-like creature clearly has a skeleton. Words like insect don't in fact mean much, taxonomically speaking, on Oddworld.

That immediately got my attention. Here, are you refering to the skeletons in MO? If so, you're wrong. If not, the structure of the skeletons still means they cannot be Meetles or Mugs. Meetles have eight squat legs that come from the base of their bodies. The skeleton only has two limbs, and they join only the body further up the side. What's more, they have a very obvious joint that is not at all like a Meetle's leg.

To further suport the Sea Rex (or similar) theory, there is a neck and head extending from the skeleton which perfectly matches the head and neck of a Sea Rex.

i've been told...

Yeah but the creature in Munch does have legs. Next time you play Munch go up to the creature and look real closely at it. You will see legs. Its not a Sea Rex because a Sea Rex is a long creature. This creature is obviously not long like a snake. Its big yes but its not long. And the Sea Rex is long as I was told by Alf a year ago. The Sea Rex can also coil up and that is the reason nobody knows the true size of the creature. So with that in mine the Creature in Munch does not match the description I recieved from Alf himself on the Sea Rex thus makeing it not a Sea Rex. Now I will post the answer Alf gave me if you like but its been over a year now so I doubt I will be able to find it. That creature is not a Sea Rex its something else and it is something we never heard of I bet.

I did, and I explained exactly what was there in my last post. No legs, my friend, besides those to near the front of the creature.

Regarding what Alf told you, well, I can't argue with that at all, but I know for a fact that publicly Alf hasn't said anything about Sea Rexes coiling up. He did say nobody can judge their size, but put that down to them always undulating through the waters, which in itself says nothing about the length of the creatures.

I thought the skull on the creature in Brewery To Be and Paramite Run looked like a Scrab's skull. Somehow, It made me think that it was a giant Scrab....Not saying' this is true, just sayin' what I thought... ^_-

another type of Guardian creature?

Esus 01-30-2004 10:02 AM

It's possible for it to be something completely different. its even possible thats its just a random skeleton of nothing in particular, but I'm siding towards the Sea Rex theory.

Joe the Glukkon 02-11-2004 10:17 AM

I've come across this before and have been wondering from that day I saw it.I predict it's a Gaurdian Mammoth,but the skull on the dead thing didn't look similair to the Gaurdian Mammoth's.I'm sure we'll soon know what it is later on in Oddworld.

Xavier 02-12-2004 08:36 AM

the picutre you posted isn't a Gaurdian Mammoth, it's simply called a Guardian, I wonder why Hayley called it Gaurdian Mammoth on her site

anyway, it isn't because it's big that it's that... we have ne proofs

Well she made a mistake.I wonder how she came up with that name,but Gaurdian Mammoth is a batter name than Gaurdian.Gaurdian Mammoth macthes what it looks like.

Xavier 02-12-2004 09:33 AM

but Guardian is from official source... which is far better...

Joe the Glukkon 02-12-2004 09:37 AM

I agree.But I'm just saying that Gaurdian Mammoth matches what it looks like.;)

Fez 02-12-2004 11:21 PM

can the gurdian move? or is it like some sort of plant?

Xavier 02-13-2004 09:00 AM

he's death now... so he isn't moving much anymore.
but I guess he was moving when he was alive, but it's more a creature with mytic powers

Fez 02-13-2004 09:18 AM

cheers Xav,

i think we should just leave it as an "unidentified land predator"

end of story.

Xavier 02-13-2004 09:22 AM

hmmm, he's not realy the predator type...
more like a big vegetarian pacifist that protect the natives against evil forces

Joe the Glukkon 02-13-2004 09:43 AM

Yeah, like a herbivore.

Fez 02-13-2004 10:08 AM

but the big teeth! the big sharp teeth!

Xavier 02-13-2004 10:13 AM

sorry? elephants have the same, and they are herbivores

Joe the Glukkon 02-13-2004 10:19 AM

I agree with Xav.The horns might of haved been used to protect themselves from other carnivorous creatures.

Wil 02-22-2004 07:51 AM

Or it could be used to impress the females. The bigger the tusk, the fiercer it looks, and safer the female is going to feel, or the safer she thinks the young will be, and so is programmed to be more attracted to that.

Or it could be a redundant feature.
