Resurrection totem.

It never occurred to me that they might be the same ones. Actually the first time I played I didn't notice the bird portal and had to leave them there. If I had received the bad ending the first time around that might have meant more to me.

Picture request: Clakker. Can anyone post a Clakker image? I have never seen it and I can't find it. Thank you.

Ok, thank you. But what's that strange kind of crocodile?

Wil 01-09-2008 01:42 PM

The crocodile creature is an Outlaw.

Ok, and a another question about SW's characters: can anyone post a Wolvark image? Thank you :)!!!

Wil 01-10-2008 05:20 AM

Concept art:

p.s. Thinking about it, you might have been referring to Wolvarks when you asked what the crocodile creature is. I was thinking of Outlaws like this one. When we first saw them (which was before we first saw Wolvarks), and before we knew they were called Outlaws, we called them ‘croc hunters’. Not because they hunt crocs, but because they are hunters who look like crocs.

Confusing, I know.

Thank you. And a ready question for you: in MO, when Abe reach Big Well, Munch is in a room in Vykkers Labs. There there are some SoulStorm Brew's bottles and barrels? Why?

Bullet Magnet 01-10-2008 05:28 AM

Because employees and/or test subjects of Vykkerz Labs were drinking/force-fed SoulStorm Brew, and they were disposing of the waste in the usual and acceptable fashion of dropping it over the Spooceshrub Forest.

Max, how does that outlaw look like a crocodile?

Wil 01-10-2008 05:41 AM

Mostly for historical reasons, I admit. Even more shamefully, looking back, I can only find a couple of references to it.

But is that Brew the latest that was in FeeCo Depot or was that still produced (during MO)?

Wil 01-10-2008 06:00 AM

It could be leftover stock from Abe’s Exoddus, bottles that Vykkers Labs have stockpiled anyway, or bottles from other SoulStorm Breweries. After all, BlitzPacker Brew (essentially SoulStorm Brew in a harder, more damaging can) is readily available, so there must be other breweries out there.

If so, there are a lot of Mudokons who weren't be saved by Abe? Will he save them in the future?

Wil 01-10-2008 06:13 AM

Yes.

abe is now! 01-10-2008 01:08 PM

Question: Oddworld is big, but not all continents are known. Are there Mudokons in other continents? And Glukkons? And Sligs? And if not, how many creatures live on Oddworld?

Slaveless 01-10-2008 01:53 PM

There is simply not a number for that kind of thing.

Bullet Magnet 01-10-2008 07:10 PM

Yeah, that information is so totally available to us.

Xavier 01-10-2008 09:26 PM

BM is right, how do you think we are supposed to know that?

abe is now! 01-11-2008 06:42 AM

Ok, thank you. I sometimes ask things that nobody knows. Excuse me for this.
I have a new question: when did Greeters become insane and begin killing customers? So, were they created just to sell Magog Cartel's products?

Wil 01-11-2008 07:13 AM

Greeters were designed to be both vending machines and security guards. Deployed in factories, they have scanners that can tell the difference between official employees and trespassers. They distribute SoulStorm Brew to emloyees and electrocute the intruders. The trouble is they never worked properly, and they just electrocuted every Mudokon that moved.

abe is now! 01-11-2008 08:10 AM

And why do they use Sligs's words?

mudling 01-11-2008 09:29 AM

Abe is now! probebly becuase they passed sligs so frequently that they learnt and used their speech, or the gluckons programed them to do so, as a kind of a replacement for greeter sligs, they got robots that did the same thing, and sounded the same.
I'm just guessing, I haven't played AE.

Question: in the artbook I saw some sketches of Fleeches that have two mouths in two parts of their body. So, were Fleeches originally designed to have two mouths?

Xavier 01-11-2008 12:02 PM

They still do have 2 mouths in the final version of the game :p

abe is now! 01-11-2008 12:18 PM

What? Why doesn't the second muth eat Abe, and the Fleech must turn around and eat Abe? Is that mouth sleeping or meek?

Slaveless 01-11-2008 12:22 PM

It simply isn't used at the time since it is not close to their prey.

EDIT: It is also possible that Fleeches don't have two tounges, and simply one. Besides, if one mouth gets the animal first, it might be awkward when it comes down to digestion if one tounge is still out of the mouth. Plus, they need to be able to have both sides of their body be able to move at any moment's notice, since some creatures like Mudokons (or Mudombies) would most likely get out of reach pretty soon. Anyway, probably hard to program anyway.

And mudling, Glukkons have never been mentioned to be the major species.

mudling 01-11-2008 01:27 PM

Oh ok, thanks, but that brings up a few more questions
So what speacies have been mentioned to be major speacies? What does major speacies actually mean in terms of OW?
And just becuase they're not mentioned, just mean they're not part of it
Where was the term "major speacies" ever mentioned in terms of OW anyway?

Slaveless 01-11-2008 02:06 PM

Major species has never been mentioned, but on the back of the AE manuel, there was a mention about the most important creatures on Oddworld.

Wil 01-11-2008 03:03 PM

Don’t take that too literally. Khanzumerz are important because without there would be no consumer culture. No consumer culture, and all those consumer goods the Glukkons, Vykkers, Oktigi, and other industrial families produce suddenly aren’t worth a whole load. In terms of Mudos, Glukkons are big players, but they’re not the richest organization. That’s the Oktigi. In terms of Oddworld, Mudos is just a small country that happens to be typical of the problems found on the planet. Different societies on different parts of Oddworld would seem as alien to each other as, let’s say, a trustworthy president would be to us.
