Oddworld Forums - Heard of Scrabs

hello, Gluk, Schmuck! welcome to the forums!

In the official Oddworld Inhabitants site, at Alf's Rehab and Tea, there is a very simmilar question about Scrabs. It's in Dear Alf archives of march, 2001.

here is the transcript:

Q: I thought Scrabs were solitary creatures that hated each other; so why are there cinematics on the site in which you see Scrabs in herds?

Alf: The Scrabs you saw in past games were "Alpha Scrabs"- rogue males that can't stand the sight of other Alpha Scrabs. Long confinement in stockyards and ancient temples had made them a bit cranky. In Munch's Oddysee, you'll see Scrabs as they live in the wild É with a single Alpha Scrab at the head of a heard of lesser Scrabs. They're still pretty cranky, though.

there is also thisbit of info in the Scrab Page:

Scrabs are viciously territorial monsters straight out of a nightmare. Pair off a couple Dominant Scrabs and you’ve got a brouhaha for the ages – the one thing they hate more than upstart Mudokons are other Scrabs. Finding yourself between two Dominant Scrabs is a great way to boost your insurance premium. Not much to look at, but terrific dancers.
