moy85 01-28-2002 01:44 PM

Xavier 01-28-2002 01:51 PM

I don't think so... It's only a mug
but it was the pic that moy85 wnted to post

the other is the glukkon queen

Alcar 01-28-2002 05:24 PM

I actually think that the Slig Queen is the slig in a dress: http://www.oddworldian.net/oddworldf...Slig_Dress.gif

Xavier 01-28-2002 05:29 PM

how can she made other sligs, queen are supposed to be different and realy Big

Oddsville 01-28-2002 06:05 PM

Yup Xaiver your right that is a Mug. As for the Slig in the dress being the Slig Queen? Well... thats a very interesting idea. Who knows Oddworld is full of suprises, I mean why would a Slig wear a dress in the first place?

Xavier 01-28-2002 06:15 PM

yeah I tought the same, but the pink hat slig was strange in the beggining too, but now it's pretty normal for us that he's only the GlockStar Valet

A dress... why a dress?

Mut I don't think it's skillya

:

. A Slig who’s been fired is brought before Skillya. The details of what happens to a Slig after facing Skillya… are sketchy at best. It is rumored that she has special recipes in how they should be served.
how can a little slig kill an other, ok it can, but I tought it was realy big

Alcar 01-28-2002 06:21 PM

Maybe Sligs are born from eggs like Mudokons. Eggs are small enough for a Slig to give birth to

Xavier 01-28-2002 06:24 PM

Did you see Mudokons eggs? they are pretty big but Sam can give birth to.

It's probably the same for Sligs (but smaller) and the slig in the dress can't give birth to

Musume 01-28-2002 08:44 PM

1. Does anyone here have any idea what Sam looks like?
2. Is she the only Mudokon female in existence, outside of fanfics?
3. If not, is she the only one who can lay eggs?
4. Which begs the question -- are there drone (i.e., functional male) Mudokons?

If I recall correctly, Mr. Lanning did say that he based the sentinent races of Oddworld on the 'super species' -- namely, ants, bees, termites and the like. It would make sense to me that there would be more females ('queens', if you will) and drones, too. How many ants would there be if there was only one queen in existence at a time? Or no drones? Not many, I'd wager, especially given the propensity of humans to exterminate the little buggers. ;)

As for 'giving birth' and 'unborn brothers' -- I was under the impression that these were distinctly mammalian terms. Maybe it should be 'laid' and 'unhatched brothers', respectively. (And yes, I can be annoying. Mwuah.)

Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*For the record, the slig in a dress is not Queen Skillya.

Alcar 01-29-2002 12:20 AM

Well thats been cleared up! new topic! :fuzblink:

Disgruntled Intern 01-29-2002 01:45 AM

urm, Xavier, the second pic you posted ins't a Mug...a mug is the 'industrial/bad' version of a meetle.
since that 'thing' seems to be wearing a pair of giant slig pants, it wouldn't surprise me if that WAS the slig queen, or atleast the prod art for her.
anyway, since i couldn't get into oddworld.au.com, here's a rather small pic of a mug.

abe22 01-29-2002 02:14 AM

I agree with Disgruntled I think it is the slig queen what else could it be.

moy85 01-29-2002 07:46 AM

sorry i haven't answered and yeah this is the pic i wanted and it does look like the slig queen having mechincal pants and the little belt straps on the neck like a flying slig it has little belt straps on its head

Mojo 01-29-2002 10:38 AM

She looks scary! I wouldn't want to be the slig that has to come to her... :fuzblink:

kleeng 01-29-2002 11:51 AM

I dont think its the slig queen she dousent look like she could lay eggs. And she seems to have one arm on here back. And it looks just too diferent from a slig. Even the gluk queen bears some resembblance to here children. She has 4 limbs of wich the front ones seem bigger like in glucks she has little versions of gluck ears, here head is atached to here boddy with a thik nek like in gluks and here upper lip/snout looks like that of a gluk. :fuzblink:
It looks more like something the vikkers thought up (it seems to have stiches on its stomack). With all that black leader and those zippers, straps and bukkles it looks like something from an SM nichtmare. (I can say SM right?)

O and the sign on its head does anyboddy know what that stands for? It mich give us a clue as to what that thing is. :fuzconf:

Disgruntled Intern 01-29-2002 12:15 PM

well Kleeng, from what i understand that's the magog cartel symbol.
which would mean, this creature is owned by the Gluks...
and how can you say it doesn't look like a slig?
i mean it's DIFFERENT looking, sure, but-
it is wearing a pair of mechanical pants just like a SLIG.
i saw no vykkers labs symbol on the creature...even wykkers have the VL symbol on their heads and armor suits...
and just like the Margret pic, we don't know if that's what she even looks like anymore, same could go for the second pic.

moy85 01-29-2002 12:21 PM

question does any of the two chracters glukk queen slig queen mentioned in MO

ps. that is not the magog cartel symbol cos the magog cartel symbol is on the glukk queen pic and it looks nothing like that

[ January 29, 2002: Message edited by: moy85 ]

Xavier 01-29-2002 01:02 PM

I know it's strange but it's a mug but not in the meetle/mug thing...

It's the name, i saw that somewhere, I didn't invent it...
I don't think it's skillya (haw can she do eggs?)

Can someone explain what it is ?

paramiteabe 01-29-2002 01:11 PM

Lorn Lanning had that picture originally for the Mug but he changed it and made it into what we know about the mug now. I think Lanning is going to use that creature that was suposed to be a mug be the slig queen. What is that symbol on the head? Could it be some kind of new slig symbol? Maybe? :p

1 yep that's it
2 on oddworld nothing got lost but I don't think so...
3 the symbol it the things head (shematic)

Mojo 01-29-2002 03:20 PM

Maybe the 'tail'like thing is what the sligs have, well it looks kinda the same. and the claws by her mouth, could't they be unevolved slig arms???
anyway it's scaring the hell outta me

Xavier 01-29-2002 03:53 PM

I know there is a complete pic of that thing... but I can't find it back
sorry

and how can it be evoluted arms? with eyes ?

Xavier 01-30-2002 11:58 AM

I found some cool info by Alf

:

Q: Hi, Alf. I've got some questions for you here (yes, more). I've kept them as Universal as I can think them to be, so I hope you don't spot any that are really "knucklehead." Why is that Slig wearing a dress on the right of the Land Muggers picture?

Alf: That is a game show host (ess). Since all sligs are male (except the queen, and she's as big as a house literally) that has to be a guy slig in a dress. He's following in the fine tradition of Milton Berle and Monty Python and Ru Paul.
