Kintos and Pants?
 
I was looking at the picture of the kinto slave and a thought came to me. What if they were given mechanical pants like a slig? With their huge "arms" they would be able to kick anyones butt in hand to hand combat. This isn't as in debth of a thread as I usually start but I thought it was to (insert a word somewhere between amusing, brilliant and stupid here) not to share.

we know no much about the kinto philosophy...
do they like moolah? do they like industrial people? do they like violance?
maybe it's the reason why they are not guards

Kintos are a very peaceful race, I doubt they'd be tempted by Moolah, power or pants like the Sligs. They are, after all, labelled 'Kinto Slaves', and Oddworld's Industrial races don't strike me as the sort of people who'd get one of those distusting freaks anywhere near them or their designer outfits.

Then again, Kintos must have very powerful arms, being able to climb vertical rock surfaces and all. Perhaps they're just gentle giants, strong but unwilling to use their power unless they need it.

they are giants?
huh first time I heard About...
I touch they where big as slogs.
where did you see abiut their size?

Wil 05-31-2002 07:53 PM

Well, I used the word 'giant' to describe their strength more than their size. In truth I have absolutely no idea how large they are, although I'd always suspected their height was between that of a Mudokon's and a Glukkon's.

Is that the front or the back of a Kinto... I find it so hard to tell... They dont seem to have a face.

I believe that the slit with the chain peirced into it is the kintos mouth so that would be the front. I think that the to bumps on top probably hold the senses it uses instead of eyes, detecting electric currents or something.

i think that kintos are wildlife yet sentient like the raisin.

Xavier 06-01-2002 02:16 PM

here is a picture of the skelet but you can't se very much more

Mac the Janitor 06-01-2002 04:46 PM

Wow, that's awesome! How come they aren't in any of the games? It looks like it would be fun to possess it...

Xavier 06-01-2002 05:19 PM

well they are slaved to help queen Maggie
and we haven't see Maggie yet so it's normal we don't saw them yet

munchman 06-01-2002 06:57 PM

thats preaty cool, that would be cool if you get to posses them

Oddsville 06-02-2002 04:53 PM

Hey mabye thats how you get Sam out of wherever she is imprisoned now? Mabye you have to convince the Kintos to gather together and carry her on there backs (after all thats what I heard there used for, carrying bolders and stuff. )But I also heard, from Max, that they hate having stuff over their heads. So mabye there will be a movie of Abe and Munch (mabye Squeek?) trying to convince the Kintos to help them?:fuzsmile: :fuzconf:

Xavier 06-02-2002 05:23 PM

It's Sam we need to rescue the mudokon queen
not maggie the glukkon queen

Oddsville 06-03-2002 02:23 PM

Oh, yeah your right Xavier. I was typing really fast and I guess I looked over that, oh well.:fuzsmile:
