I have a meetle and mug theory
 
I'm sure we've all seen those screenshots of MO when it was in its early stages of development of that level in the night time with meetles flying around up above, there was speculation that meetles and mugs would be in MO. But obviously, they weren't.
Disappointing, I know as they were supposed to be have meetles as a vehicle and mugs as weapons, but they didn't make the final version.
But, could they be in ME? Maybe, but if their larvae is raised on different diets and treated differently, they either grow into a meetle (on veggies), or a mug (on meat). So, in ME, you may have to raise this larvae into either of the two so they can be used in particular levels. I think, by a long shot, that the fuzzles Munch rescued in MO are actually the larval form of meetles/mugs, ready to be raised into either, yes, meetles or mugs. Sounds feasible and maybe Quarma could come into it, if you raise meetles, you can airlift Mudarchers and Tomahawkers into one of the final levels to raid the facility and get Abe and Munch in to do their rescuing stuff, or if you don't raise them properly into meetles, you get mugs and can't get into the final levels because mugs can't fly and the game finishes early and you get the bad ending.
I know this was long and very abstract, but it sounds like it'd give an Oddworld game some sim style gameplay and a different aspect of play.
Also, if meetles/mugs aren't in the Quintology, they'll for sure be in Hand of Odd.
Opinions anyone?

FUZZLES AREN'T THE BABY VERSION OF MEETLES/MUGS... THE SHEEP LIKE DUDES WITH ONE EYE IS THE LARVAE OF THE MEETLES/MUGS

And you know this for sure? How? Why do say this?

In fact the little Rose things with 4 eyes are Meetles/mug larvaes

Then it grew up...
If you give him vegetables to eat it would be a nice Meetle

But If you give him meet it would be a terrible Gukkon-evil Mug

So nothing about Fuzzles or Meeps

So there you go Oddbodd. I thought it were either fuzzles or those pink things Xavier pointed out. Also, typing in capitals maks you sound so nasty.
Thanks Xavier.

nono wath you say is intresting

Yeah, it was a theory you had Oddbodd. A feasible one. I wonder what the meeps will be used for in the future? Probably not much at all in the Quintology, but maybe in a sim style game perhaps.

ODDBODD 02-26-2002 02:45 AM

i doubt meeps will grow up, i think they will stay the same like sheep

It's funny you say that... because when I used to think that Meetle Lavae were Fuzzles. It even used to be on my website that I thought they were the same in my Meetles/Mugs page. I since learned they were different (or so we are being told).

So THAT'S what those things are! Ah, the plot thickens.
I'm glad it isn't Fuzzles or Meeps. They're better as their own seperate species. Plus, it's nice to see some stuff with hair finally.

ODDBODD 02-28-2002 08:11 AM

different species? I dont understand it should be the same species.

like a muggle or mets :)

Xavier 02-28-2002 02:35 PM

lets resume:
Mugs and meetles are the sames species

Fuzzles are appart

and meeps too

okay?

The Shrink 02-28-2002 09:32 PM

Yeah. The pink things, meetle and mugs are all linked together, fuzzles are fuzzles and meeps are meeps. And that's that.
