Smartest Race (not including Vykkers)
 
You'd think mudokons but come on they do seem very dopey.

Sligs don't seem all that stupid.

The glukkons have good business sense maybe?

My vote goes to the paramites. Then second would be steef.

Havoc 03-26-2006 02:03 PM

My vote goes to the Steefs, taking into concideration that Stranger is not some special Steef with extraordinary inteligence. He's able to think about stuff from a logical standpoint ect. Mudokons are kind of clumbsy, Glukkons are marketing wonders but that about does it. Sligs... and well, paramites and scrabs are wildlife. They are smart, rather then inteligent.

Xavier 03-27-2006 01:55 AM

I go for Gluks
look at what a huge empire they have buid

steef are close seconds

sligco 03-27-2006 04:19 AM

i say steefs because there able to hide them selves from industials and what ive seen from stranger whith his traps and making his own crossbow ya id say steefs

Munch's Master 03-27-2006 09:43 AM

Steef came close, but I said Gluks., They've monopolized Mudos, built vast industrial empires and enslaved the Mudokons, essentially enslaved sligs and basically rule Mudos (Not Oddworld though, we've only seen the Gluks on Mudos, they may not have such success/live on other Oddworld continents)

Biggy Bro Slig 03-27-2006 10:21 AM

Scrabs. They're intelligent, they can hunt, and know when they're being watchetd.

only one was... the others are dead (or hiding even better, but I doubt that)

The Magog Cartel is international, so it would stretch beyond the boundaries of Mudos.

Sekto Springs 03-28-2006 10:42 AM

C'mon people, everyone knows Slurgs are the omniscient race.

Hell yeah! With all the gasses tht burst from them, it creates a whole in Oddworld's ozone layer, thus causing all other species to die out, yet the Slurgs remian! Vivez la resistance!

Abe16 03-28-2006 02:40 PM

Steefs, because they seem so much smarter than the average gluk, slig, or whatever you might put down. But, that's just me.

Sekto Springs 03-28-2006 03:21 PM

Stranger didn't seem all that bright, of course he's not as noble as other Steef and rejected his heritage in search of a different lifestyle, which is what draws a thick line between him and what remains of the rest of his kind.

Dancing Steef 03-28-2006 10:45 PM

I vote for Steefs. YAY Huzza for those cutie beauties:cheer:!

Tyrannical Overlord 03-30-2006 05:43 PM

Glukkons of course. They're intelligent enough to build an industrial empire. They have the intellect to have so many followers. They have designed things of astonishing capabilities such as their factories, trains, etc. They're smart enough to get others to build what they design. Glukkons are essentially the pinnacle of Oddworld intelligence.

Slig_Cake 03-30-2006 07:49 PM

noones picked gabbits....what a surprise

Abe16 03-30-2006 07:52 PM

Well, speaking of Munch, he wasn't very bright either. Deep, but, not smart. Quick thinker though, but, aw you've got me all mixed up.

You know everything Odd don't you? Bu tthanks Max, you've furthered my belief that Gluks are the smartest race after Vykkers. But do you know which continent they started on, and if it was just one, then how did they spread to other continents. They can't swim, and we've seen no aquatic trnasport of theirs. Did they get help from the smarter Vykkers.

the fact we haven't seen any doesn't mean there aren't any at all

Munch's Master 04-01-2006 04:52 AM

I knw that, I'm just saying we haven't seen any so far, so all the Glukkons we've seen can't get to the other continents, maybe Vykkers settled everywhere first then allowed the Glukkons to use their inventions to follow.

Sekto Springs 04-01-2006 04:56 AM

I'd imagine that regardless where the Glukkons started, they couldn't live a comfortable life exploiting only the land in their native area. I'm sure by now they've used boats or even blimps to seek out other land and establish industrial facilities. We know that boat technology is about at this time in Oddworld. What else could have netted all those gabbits?

Nate 04-01-2006 10:44 AM

Hang on, how do we know that the Magog Cartel is international?

pongyboy 04-01-2006 11:45 PM

I think Glukkons are the smartest. or paramites, because they work together.

The Marching Mudokon 04-02-2006 03:40 AM

I'd have to say glukkons as well but fleeches seem pretty eloquent.

You DARE question Max's encyclopedic Oddworld knowledge!?

Nate 04-02-2006 10:53 AM

I merely request sources for my own edification.

And how COULD they be international?

Many of the biggest corporations in the Magog Cartel cover only a tiny spot of Mudos. I imagaine it would be difficult for them to sustain an international conglomerate.

Nate 04-02-2006 05:18 PM

Well, Coca Cola has only a few factories in certain locations but you can buy a Coke just about anywhere you like. The location of the 'head office' does not dictate a corporation's reach.

used:) 04-02-2006 05:31 PM

That's true, plus there is the construction of the New Rupture Farms and Micro Breweries we found out about in MO.

Muds. Give me the simple life (and an infinitely powerful protector)
