Has anyone ever heard of a Choupug?
 

Is this Oddworld related? I've never seen it before.
It is Lorne Lanning's Twitter picture.

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I searched and didn't find anything.

I would like to know that too!
And I also seen him only in his twitter...

Whow, that scared me.
Hmmmm.... It does remind me of the game a little bit... lets RESEARCH! :D

Hey, look at that, something new...

Something New?! .... nah its a trick, if you look close enough you can see that its an announcement that is actually not going to be announced untill September...maybe December :D :P

This is interesting.
The name 'Choupug' sounds very much like the title of a type of dog. That's actually kind of worrying, seeing as we already have the Slog in Oddworld, which I would have to say is one of the most delightfully terrifying creatures in the first two games.

If it's an addition, I welcome it with open arms... but for all we know, it could be a straight up replacement. I feel as though OWI have had enough time to re-think their designs, whether we might like it or not. Here's hoping that isn't the case, though.


Well, there you go.

This is interesting. Great find!

Are we even sure that it is really Lorne Lanning on that twitter account?

Of course not! This is the internet.

He's following his long time friend Josh Gabriel and he's using one of his own made up words: http://www.addictionary.com/words/17695/diabiblical

Plus the picture looks totally new and oddworld to me.

So I'd say the chances of him really being Lorne are pretty good.

Is it really me on this OWF account?

Hmm. Chou-pug. An amalgamation of the words 'chew' and 'pug', creating a creature with a large mouth, big eyes and a flat face.

Well, it certainly fits the OWI creative process.

After five years, I should certainly hope they've managed to come up with ONE new creature, don't you think?

Yeah, you're right about that.

It sure is odd!

I immediately thought of a pug dog and chou - chupacabra

Maybe its a revision to Fuzzles? But then again maybe its Oddworlds version of a small dog like a Chinese Pug.

Certainly looks weird. Let's hope it is some kind of new creature. Its eyes remind me of a tarsier's eyes.

Maybe it's a Mudokon which has turned into a WereSlog.

A "Wereslog"...I'd have to encounter one of those, seeing as regular Slogs are vicious enough!

Interesting find.

Does it look like a Boombat's face to anyone else?

What is a Boombat? Can't say I've ever heard of one of them.

Is anyone following this Twitter account? I tried, but it said it was protected. If you are, is it confirmed to be Lorne's account?

ONE new creature would completely change the way the game is played :p

This is a boombat:



And I can't follow Lorne, Max apparently managed to, but Lorne didn't tweet yet.

Which one?

Abe's Oddysee, Exoddus.
Not much Munch and Stranger's because, you get what I mean. :fuzwink:

So I'm the only one who doesn't think it's particularly Oddworld?

I think the colour scheme of the creature and the art style is oddworld but the picture is big enough to be definitive.

It could be a creature from an other universe then oddworld, but you'll have to admit it's the same style.

I looks like Rat(z) but angrier.

That is pretty intriguing. But why has Lanning protected his tweets? What's up with that?

Maybe he actually wants to connect with friends and people he cares about without fans butting in and harrassing him like they have with poor Stewart Gilray.
