-   -   Which species would you be? (http://www.oddworldforums.net/showthread.php?t=13770)

Which species would you be?
 
My first poll, so I might screw it up majorly and spend 1000 years in purgatory for my misdeed. But if all goes well, I shall hence rejoice.

The question is;

Out of choice, which Oddworld species would you be?

Been wondering what the results of this poll would be for a while, so it'll be interesting to see. Also, please state why you chose that choice in your post. :)

If this goes seriously wrong, send it to oblivion.

Glukkon. Money, bossing people around, exactly what I like!

mitsur 04-16-2006 03:02 PM

I'd be a steef, since I'm athletic like them, and a kind of reclusive person. Also, I like the idea of being a bounty hunter. Not to mention they have a kind of, well, aura about them. Or maybe because they're just my favorite race. ;)

Glukinator 04-16-2006 06:09 PM

Slig. Shooting guys, sleeping, my kind of job!!

nicksmith41 04-16-2006 09:19 PM

ZOMG you forgot steefs, thats what i would want to be, emphasis on the want part, they would make me like some sort of weak, pale, quiet, moody thing...oh im a mudokon :D

Slig_Cake 04-16-2006 10:09 PM

i like the scrabanian lifestyle

and i think they're fully sick uleh

Munch's Master 04-17-2006 01:49 AM

Hmmm. If you say 'Other' can that include a tie between multiple options? Because I'm torn between:
Slig: Decent pay, can get on TV, easy life, can sleep a lot
Vykker: Smart, respected, can own your own business, probably a very good pay.
(Native) Mudokon: Spiritual free life. Take in nature, use spooce powers, relax and enjoy yourself.
So I'd pick one of those three, probably a Slig, then a Native Mudokon, then a Vykker.

Seargentbig 04-17-2006 02:42 AM

No, not at all! This looks like the most complete forum poll I've seen, and certainly the one with the most options. Apart from the lack of Steefs, it's fine. In fact, now that I look at it, it seems to be missing Gabbits too, but oh well.
I got to say, I've always had paramites as my favorite, but that would take second place to being a mudokon.

Bullet Magnet 04-17-2006 03:02 AM

Scrabs and paramites are my favourite, but their lack of fingers means they can't play Oddworld games, clearly their biggest hindrance, so I picked Mudokons. No! wait! their fingers don't fit on the controls! dammit.

Dark Elite_H2 04-17-2006 03:50 AM

Hrm...It's hard to make out...
A Steef would fit me, 'cause I like 'em, and I have certain; not all, qualities of 'em.

Or, a Scrab! I've always wanted to see what it was like to run on four legs, and roar a bellow that sounds like a, and I quote from I believe Max?- "Like a dewgong with a cold".

Possibly a Slog or sleg? Hell any type of dog-related creatures are fine to me!
One of those races are suitable to me, but I have no idea what...

Wil 04-17-2006 05:38 AM

That's a quote from Sekto Springs describing how Scrab howls differ in Munch's Oddysee from the Abe games.

sligco 04-17-2006 05:55 AM

a steef maybe a glukkon but id rather be a steef because they have arms that they can use and there my favorite species

Dark Elite_H2 04-17-2006 07:22 AM

Yes, that's who it was then...
Well, now I'm dukin' it 'tween a Fuzzle, 'r a Steef...
Maybe a combination 'tween the both'll spice things up...
A Steezul...'r somethin'.

Bullet Magnet 04-17-2006 07:39 AM

Or a Scrab/paramite mix. You could call it Shrykull and have it blast industrialists with lightning bolts. They should put that one in a game.

used:) 04-17-2006 07:42 AM

Skrykull is more of a supernatural being rather than a particular species.

tentacle_orgy 04-17-2006 03:31 PM

I would love to be a Steef...Being powerful, strong, and close to nature are traits I find appealing...

Sekto Springs 04-17-2006 03:35 PM

I'd be an Oktigi like Sekto. The whole host body thing would easily let me choose my physique, and I could be forboding and ominous with my bioluminescent eyes and sexy accent.

Bullet Magnet 04-18-2006 02:12 AM

And I could be your faithful Gloktigi, doing evil with you until your back is turned, and then...

Matriar 04-23-2006 02:38 AM

Being a Steef would be nice, I think.
Being proud, close to nature, powerfull and look so damn cool :evil:
Wish, I would be a guardian then.
Fancy that! A female one. :D

Oo oo! Or a female Gloktigi! :evil: :lol:
I ever wanted to scare guys, which I never liked!
...halloooo, teachers! Here am I! Muahahaha!
(*pie in the sky*)

Bullet Magnet 04-23-2006 03:05 AM

Its good that you catered for those with an inferiority complex in your poll, with slurg. I see no one has yet chosen that one, but I suppose a short life of consuming the waste of fleeches before being troden on does not appeal to most people. There will always be someone, however.

Dark Elite_H2 04-23-2006 07:50 AM

Or! I would want to be one of my creatures!
But that would not be in any Oddworld games...
Or a Gloktigi! Those things're cool.
But then again...why would I want to be a squid-head?
Well'p...back to bein' a Stuzzle...

Sekto Springs 04-23-2006 11:15 AM

And then you'd give me a backrub.

:eek:
...which really would hurt...a lot...>.<

Matriar 04-24-2006 01:54 AM

Ooo, a back scratch... that would be nice, right now :lol:

Dark_Mage626 04-24-2006 02:37 AM

Elum :) Ah what a life, eating honey and hanging around with mudokons. I loved Elum from the very first time I saw it in Abe's Oddysee :)

CarboN 04-24-2006 03:00 AM

I consider this according to anatomy and the feeling of walking and so on, not with the lifestyle or anything.
If I'd be a steef, it wouldn't mean I'd be a bounty hunter.

From the list I'd choose slig, but only if I'd have mechanical pants.
The other option would be vykkers; their legs aren't nimble enough for me, but the body is nice.
A gloktigi! That would be so cool.. Wow.
The walking style and the legs of a steef would be rather nice, too.

Dancing Steef 04-24-2006 04:33 AM

A Steef - they rox XD!

~DS~

pongyboy 04-24-2006 08:20 AM

I'd be a Mudokon or a Vykker, But I like Mudokons a tiny bit better

HobbitNinj 04-24-2006 08:42 AM

Mudokon, because of their mad ninja stealth skillz.

Fuzzleman54321 04-28-2006 11:36 AM

I would be a mudokon. There funny, smart, and great at teamwork. I like teamwork.

outlaw king 04-28-2006 07:02 PM

Id be an Outlaw ( duuuh ) , like Nilsworth pokey o Shafster . To live life on the go , relying on your knowledge of the wild and its ways to survive . And of course , pummeling clakkerz and looting everything in sight!

kjjcarpenter 04-30-2006 03:54 AM

Yeah. I toyed with the idea too, to vote an outlaw :evil:
It's a pity that I could vote only one time :p

Ninjaxe 04-30-2006 07:19 AM

Heehee, I would like to a mudokon. Not only get screwed about within the industrial world. You can pray all day and have powers 'scary powers.' Probably on the way might get catch a glimpse of Abe. Another thing being a mudokon can benefit the best of both worlds. Industrial and native.

Abeguy 04-30-2006 07:38 AM

a Steef, with Stranger's operation, cuz I like my two legs. But posessing is also fun. so I'd learn the ways of the Mudokon Shamans

Bullet Magnet 05-01-2006 05:30 AM

I would like to change my vote from mudokon to slurg.

outlaw king 05-01-2006 08:30 PM

And why would that be , good fellow?

magic9mushroom 05-01-2006 10:29 PM

I choose Vykker. They fit my personality-smart and sadistic

Glukinator 05-08-2006 03:40 AM

The only problem with me being a slig is having to were machanical pants. It's probly unconfterble.

Theola 05-08-2006 05:27 PM

I picked Vykker. Having extra arms would probably make doing things a lot easier, and they're the only race I can think of trying to forward the knowledge of science, even if they're going the wrong ways about it...
