hi i was wondering if anyone has any information on the khanzumerz, mud flubs or kintos or even any pics which would really help. the last two were supposed to appear in munchs oddysee like the shrinks and sam the mudokan queen.

I asked Alf for information about khanzumerz and he said that he couldn't tell me anything other than what I already know. They are the major consumers of oddworld. They are the ones who use/eat most of the Magog Cartel and Vykkers Conglomerate goods.

Mudflubs are little critters who are squeezed for the oil inside of their bodies by FlubCo. Fuels. The oil is used to make the fuel for slig pants, among other things.

Kintos are mountain dwelling creatures whith a fear of things over their heads. The glukkons tried to enslave them but gave up when they learned about the kintos paranoia.

I was under the impression the Glukkons did enslave the Kintos, and put a roof over their heads, and forced them to do lots of heavy pulling work...

Yes they did. That's what the writing on the Kinto Slaves picture says. However, Alf says otherwise:

:

Q: Hey Alf here is a simple question, none of that hard biology stuff ; ). When will we be able to see some more pictures of kinto slaves and when will we get to learn more about them? Are they as intelligent as you and the other mudokons or are they more primitive? That's all. Hope it isn't to complicated for you. Thanks for all the work and occasional effort you put into answering our questions.

Alf: It's hard to say if the Kinto's are intelligent or not, as their paranoia about things looming above their head sort of limits all of their other abilities. It's pretty hard to enslave a race that refuses to work in an area with say, a roof or trees or anything overhead. The Glukkons pretty much abandoned the idea of exploiting them when they found it would take an inkling of effort. But who knows, maybe one day they'll get a burst of motivation and try it again.
And as for Mudflubs, its their fat that's sucked out of them, hence FlubCo Fat Fuels.

And Steel Scrab, there are no pictures currently of a Zhanzumer or Mudflub, but expect the latter to be something like mudskippers on Earth.

I don't have a picture of a Kinto handy, but someone will find one, and if I stumble across one, I know the first place I'll come. :)

Here are the only kinto images.

The first two go together. I couldn't figure out how to get the whole thing as one pic.

i always thought that the kahnzumerz were the original name for gabbits, well read the quintology thing in the AO booklet that comes with the game.
