I got it from the Exoddus Club, which I'm sure I've explained about enough times before. :) I don't know the exact specifications of the way it reached us, but it's as official as Meeches with four jaws and Abe's Moon existing millennia ago.
|
Meeches
Is it true that there was a ranch with the last remaining Meeches? If so could someone please tell me some information about it? (If theres any)
|
the last meeches
Supposedly there is an island where the remainder of the meeche population was transferred. They run around and are shot by glukkons and sligs who enjoy hunting for sport. At least that's the rumor Alf heard and shared with us.

Orb
Does anyone know whay the possession orb can't go on water, out of interest. And why don't Oddworld do a prequal to AO to sort of give a back story, with you play critical charcters at different times? ( So you might get to play as Molluk and help him quell a slig revolution or something) just to add a bit mmore character to the world
|
The possession orb not being able to enter water is merely a gameplay feature. If they were able to hover above water, there'd just be so much more opportunity to possess some firepower and just blast all the explosives and enemies away. If you need an in-story explanation...er, how about the possession orb naturally hovers a few feet above the ground, which means the bottom of a body of water. The result of coming in contact with the water may be that the energy that holds the orb together is dispersed or degraded, causing Abe's psyche to leak, concluding with a natural security feature which brings the spirit back to Abe.
Yeah, that'll do, I guess. :| |
Instant Possesion Orb (just don't add water)
I like that theory Max. Water is bad for spirits... works fro me.

HOO was supposedly going to take place way back when in Oddworlds history, about the time The Rasin became an Elderling (after his Elder Tree stage).:fuzwink:
|
Thanks TheKanzumer:fuzsmile: Also were sligs underwater creatures? I think they were
|
SLIGS
Sligs developed from more slug-like creatures which inhabited the swampy regions of long ago Mudos. Although I do not think they were purely aquatic creatures, it seems obvious that they were amphibious in nature.
The best THEORY I have heard about pre-industrial sligs is that they were similar to hermit crabs, wheres they take the shells of dead creatures for protection. This would explain their unusual appearance, the forelimbs would be for locamotion and the tail would be to hold onto the inside of the shell. Now they have mechanical pants and guns so they can move freely out of the swamps without worrying about natural predators. |
Since Bigface had the ability to grant the power of the Shrykull to Abe, does that mean he already had the power of the Shrykull himself? Where was bigface in AE?
|
How I understand it...
WARNING: The following is not completelly official but I think it makes a lot of sense and is not contradictory to anything I'm aware of.
BigFace was to Abe what John the Baptist was to Jesus... sort of. BigFace is the spiritual leader of all the native tribes of mudokons and was preparing them for the future. He knows all sorts of stuff about oddworld's past and prophecy. He knew that a savior was coming and sure enough, he stumbled upon Abe. To make sure Abe was ready, he had him travel through the treacherous Scrabanian and Paramonian Temples as a sort of "coming of age" ritual. After passing the tests Abe was granted the power of the Shrykull by BigFace himself. Although BigFace was given the ability to choose and bestow the power of the Shrykull to a certain mudokon, that does not mean he can do it again or that he can use it himself. His purpose in life (and likely any BigFaces before him) was to find the mudokon savior. He fulfilled his role, but is still working to train the native mudokons. He wasn't in AE because he didn't need to be. But he is still working hard as the spiritual leader of all the free mudokons. |
I understand now, thanks for that!
Could it be possible that BigFace was once an "Abe" for his generation, because I can see some sense in Abe becoming the next spiritual leader for the Mudokons. |
Is Latamire Munch his full name?
How often is it used in the game? |
Latamire Munch is the gabbit's full name, although they never use it in MO.

Hey... I was wondering...
Why do sligs wear masks? ...sorry if this has been asked before, I just don't have the time to read all the previous questions...^_____~ |
I gots this one!
(Ahem.) Glukkons find Sligs to be very ugly. (This coming from, in my opinion, the ugliest things on Oddworld.:fuzwink:) So, since Sligs are somewhat slaves themselves, they are required to wear the leather masks that we always see them in. From the Concept Art of the Bigbros, however, we can begin to guess what their faces really look like. I don't think their faces are so bad. But you know the Glukkons, anything without an Octopus head and underbite is hiddeous! |
Glukkons think sligs are ugly.
That is the official reason sligs wear masks, although I'm sure you guys could come up with a annoying number of creative other reasons why they wear them.
|
There are exactly 5 Mudokons that Abe did not save in AE. The blind guy who falls to his doom in one of the intro movies, and four "healing power Mudokons in Soulstorm Brewery." Soulstorm Brewery explodes in the end so I assume they die. Why were'nt they all associated with the "Casualties" count.
|
That's what I always used to wonder. Those Mudokons hold great healing powers, so whats to say they can't zap outta there like BigFace.
Well, at least I tried :p Alcar... |
Re: Glukkons think sligs are ugly.
:
I also have a question. How dumb are V.P. Aslik, Director Phleg, and Gen. Drippik? And can you possess more creatures in MO than AE? |
Here's your cookie.
How dumb are V.P. Aslik, Director Phleg, and General Drippik? Apparently not that dumb considering their high ranks in their respective businesses of the Magog Cartel, although you can't help but wonder sometimes can you?
The only creatures you can possess in MO that you can't in AE are the interns, vykkers and I guess Big Bros even though they are still sligs. Munch controls snoozers and cranes but they don't really count. |
And slogs:)
how do interns eat? |
stitched slits
Oh yean... I forgot about slogs.
Interns probably use straws to eat... seriously though your guess is as good as mine. Maybe they suck up food from the bottoms of their feet or something. |
:
|
Just because their mouths are stitched up doesn't mean they dont have lips...
|
I was pointing the "eat by feet" thingy, Jacob
|
Hi! What is the Sam, Skillya, Magog.. ? I'm sorry, I'm new.
|
Sam is the mud queen Skilliya (sp.) is the slig queen and magog is the network of glukkon owned franchises
|
Thank you, thank you, thank you a lot! :*
|
Basicly:
Magog (Cartel): is the powerfull organisation of the Glukkons ruled by Maggie the Glukkon queen Sam: She is the Mudokon queen and thus Abe's mother, she is momently retainted by the Magog Cartel and is guarded by a lot of Shrinks who are supposed to keep her stable. Skillya: the Slig queen, she sells her children to the Magog Cartel and is very cruel with her children |
Is "Ratz" the plural term or singular?
(I.e. can one just be called a "Rat" or is it still called a "Ratz" no matter what?) |
Ratz is the plural form of rat. A single entity of the species is called a rat, more than one are ratz.

wat happens at rthe end of oddworld im only half way really
:fuzgrin: :fuzgrin: :fuzgrin: trickymicky xxx |
How do you pronounce Mud?
is it "Mud" like the word for wet dirt, or is it pronounced "Mood" as in Oddipus' banner "don't get Mudy"? Sorry, trickymickey, but this question has been drilling into my skull for a while. Please don't be offended for asking a question after you. |
trickymicky, I don't want to spoil you the surprise
Dipstikk, it is the "Mud like the word for wet dirt" |
Just posting something useless so you can see the signature your talking about. :fuzcool:
|
It doesnt really suprise me that this thread has been responded to by nothing but mods/admins. It a really boring thread that know one wants to post in, but its a thread that admins really need.
I dunno, maybe its just me, but I don't think this thread will really catch on with other users. Reese |
Oddworld Cartography
Hi all
Are there any maps out there? As in maps off Mudos etc. Reese |
Mud or Mood?
It is pronounced "Mood Ah Ken".
This is how Abe says it in the game. Other than that, its kind of up to you. When it's shortened to Mud its is just pronounced "Mud" with no stress on the U. Personally I can't stop saying "Mud Uh Kon". But then, I live in England so I say things weird. (Actually I am Canadian, and I live in England, but I still say things weird!) Reese |
Abe tries too say Mud Uh Kon, just like everybody else, i guess. But try to say that with a severe gold (like the voice of Abe) and you get Mud Ah Ken.
But afterall, this clears nothing up.:fuzemb: |
