Animals of Oddworld (V2)
Well, I thought since it's been almost a year since the last one, that it would be OK to make a new thread like this, especially with all the new people that signed on since and would like to share their opinions. The point was to make a list of Oddworld animals that best compare to their Earth counterparts and argue your thoughts over about the differences between the animals with other people like in the first thread. A sense of Humor is reccomended.
The mods can close this if it's their desire. Original Thread: http://www.oddworldforums.net/showthread.php?t=13860 Finally have a list: Mudokon: Lizard humanoids. Gabbits: Close to a mudskipper. Scrab: Very dominant crabs. Bolamites: 4-legged spiders. Paramites: Hand-like spider with actual meat on the bone. Elum: mulE. Glukkons: Octopus-head bastards that do hand stands all their adult life. Corporate species. Vykkers: They look a lot like greys (the most commonly seen of aliens). Steef: Wildbeest. Slurgs: Slugs. Sligs: Advanced slugs of the next generation. Vertabrates. Slogs: Yes, dogs. Slegs: Similiar to slogs in a way. Meeps: One eye+one leg= one sheep. Oops, my mistake. Zappfly: Electrifying fireflies. Bats: Bats Ratz: Rats. Meetle: Oddworld's beetles. Stunks: Skunks. Chippunks: Chipmunks. Grubbs: Mud grubs. Outlaws: Outlaws in many different forms.:rolleyes: I'll work on it more as I have time. |
Gabbit: Large, sentient frog.
Scrab: Tyrannosaurid, or a Phorusracid of some sort. Paramite: Large Tarantula or similar, but vertabrate. Slurg: If I have to tell you this... Mudokon: Human, more specifically similar to tribes from Africa or similarly non-developed tribes. Glukkon: Mollusc/human, more like humans in developed countries, more specifically big corporate owners (Tesco), with some octopus aspects. Meep: Do I even have to put this thing in this list? Searex: Basilosaurus or similar. Fleech: Frog-snake...there isn't really anything 100% comparable to this thing. Sligs: The common working man without pay, council-house residents. Elum: Mule. I shouldn't have to point this out either, though. Clakkerz: Redneck anthro chickens. Steef: Sentient deer? Or something like that (to fit with the whole 'hunted' thing) Slog: Dog Sleg: Wolf Vykkers: Mad, sadist scientists. Intern: Assistants of above that like jazz/funk music. Hippies/teens? Fuzzles: Horned toad. With teeth. Wasps: Wasps. Zappfly: Flying bombardier beetle? Stunk: I wonder... Boombat: ...terrorist bat that's eaten gunpowder? Chippunk: Chipmunk...with...social problems... Chronicler: Laywer or accountant. Wolvarks and other enemies: Criminals etc. Can't think of anything else right now...if I've missed summat, say so. |
