Abe's Pet Elum
 

I was replying to the thread 'Elums, whats thair story' and just realised, If abe was born in Rupture Farms, and has lived there all of his life until he escaped, then how does he have a native pet Elum???

Mabey Bigface told him it will get a pet, or one of the muds told him he will have a pet. Or mabey Elumus is a pet of a Muds.

It isn't a pet as such. My guess is that he (like us) had never seen an elum before paramonia. Just like we had to work out how to control the stubborn beast (relying on story-stones) he had to also.

But that leads on to an interesting question; are elums domesticated and trained to respond to the elum-gong or are they wild creatures who have developed a relationship with the muds?

I think so to... Elum is not a pet. I think they have a good relation with muds and are fidel to them, like dogs can be to man, simply they live in armony in the nature, and they know when muds need them when the gong goes.

But if you look on Oddworld.com, and in the AO manual it reads Abe's Pet, Cicks dig him

take this into Abe probably lived out in the wild like free muds then got captured when he was very young after he is a slave

Perhaps Abe wrongly adopted the creature as a pet after he realised he could command him? :p

or it might be a sacred thing where an elum just obeys whoever rings those bells that abe had to ring to get elum up and about.

But in the maual and on the web page it states that Abe was born in Rupture Frams

well weve said it before well say it again its an oddworld.well there is no real explanantion for elums loyalty or is there well i dunno all i can do is guess

However much it is an oddworld, it needs to make sense

Oddworld calls him a pet becuase we see Abe with elum, i mean there not a marryed couple. Call then pets. Abe looks after him too. (except when Abe has to leave elum. On parimonia i tell Elum to follow me,but then i run to bird portal & escape. While elum runs straight in the mines. poor old elum)

and in scrabania i got elum to run off a cliff good times i wonder will thier be elums in stranger i mean think about it youre a bounty hunter what a better way to escape from an explosion bad guy etc. than jumping out a window and ride away on an elum?.

you run faster then all your ennemies, plus I think Stranger is too big to ride on an Elum. he is himself a very good running creature.




10,000 posts!

Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but, 10,000 POSTS HOLEY HELL! wel done Xavier

Well done Xav! That's a lot

*celabrates*

We might see elums in ME, wich i think won't be on Xbox. Next gen consoles.

sorry off topic this is please give warning dont (hides while typing) congrats on the posts xavier and who else thinks elums too small for stranger?

Congrats Xav . But on-topic I think so too . Abe is tiny . Stranger is bigger than a vykker or intern . Possess a vykker or intern and compare it's size to Abe . It's a titan compared to Abe . so an elum is much too small . And btw apparently I think youre grammer is better but use capitals and youre posts and more clear to read...

Okay lets put this all together then.We know stranger's oviously not gonna ride elum around what is elum gonna do now i feel sorry for him....

Eat, sleep, discover a volcanio. There lot's of things Elums can do. It's a giant world out there.

then get blown up by it.

Stranger should ride elum, huh.

In Paramonia, you had to whistle to get past some mudokons, so wouldn't it make sense that the muds living in Paramonia trained the Elums? Aww yeah.

And in this picture, it looks like Mudokons ride Elums regularly.
Looks as if they could be used for hunting, war, or both.

Good job on the 10,000 posts, Xav. What a historical moment it must be for you. ;)

-oddguy

stranger is:
1° way too big to ride an elum
2° as fast as an elum, if not faster, so what's the point?

Stranger is a very lazey guy, thats why.

Quite simpley,one of the reasons is the Muds use Elums for tranporting one place to another.

itd be cool though there could be some chase scenes i mean its boring seeing stranger running away when theres an elum next to a piller

Maby a bit late but Good Job Xav!!

And because this fuzzleguys topic will became famous!

Well there is no elum . Get used to it ;) and Oddish clear some space in private messages man! I cant PM you

elum was gonna be in hand of odd maybe hell be in future odd game

Judging from Max's picture, it appears that Mudokons regularly ride elums (is the plural elum or elums?). I think that the Mudokons that you whistle to for passage trained elum in preperation for assissting the chosen one in his quest. Just a guess, but I can't think of anything better. Elums, though not neccesary the elum Abe uses will probably be in the Habitales(if OWI ever make them) as they will focus on the day to day lives of the inhabitants.

Congratulations Xavier! 10,000! Yay!

Most messages are from you :p


Hmmm... Max's picture?


I saw this image of a mudokons village, on the right is has a Scrab tied up. For what?

D'oh! I ment Oddguys picture, I've got a cold and it must be affecting my thinking. :fuzemb:*sniffle*

I don't know WHERE I gat Max from, I also ment that I agreed with Oddguy on the password Mudokon training thing. Oh my poor head...

OFF TOPIC: That picture sounds facinating, could you show it to us Oddish?

SW, here is the picture...

Just looking at that picture makes me want Hand of Odd even more :) But seriously it's a computer game . Ya never know what twists there might be . Maybe in one game of the quintology it could show you how he got his stupid...ehm very friendly elum

*Saves Image as Desktop*

That was the one, thnx Xav.

Hand of Odd isn't coming out before a long time... anyway not before Stranger 2... that means a couple of years

OHOO is the last one OI is making ,so it definately won't be out for a long time

how do you know it's the last thing they are going to make?
doesn't make sense to me

Alf told us in Dear Alf, but theres nothing to say that they won't change thatdeadline, or whatever yiu'd call it

I have a pet Elum, and the Hand of Odd isn't in production (which you have already been told) but there is going to be one, and the Hand of Odd will be being worked on while OI is working on another game because they, will hire some extras to work on it while they keep up with the market by making new games.
