Yeah, I kinda noticed that...

Anyways, there was a topic about this a while back. I think everybody came to the conclusion that it was a Sea Rex.

:fuzzle:

Maybe, Mac, maybe but I thought a sea rex was a marine predator
so what was it doing in the grassland plains??:fuzconf: :fuzconf: :fuzconf: :fuzconf: :)

Along with that theory of it being a Sea Rex, they also thought that area was once underwater.

It's what I believe at least too.

Alcar...

NOT CONVINCED................


It was a fresh corpse, Alcar, so where did the water go so quickly, eh?







:dead: :dead:

Kai came with the theory it was food for them gived by industrialist to keep them alive (there is no other food), the creatures (scrab and paramites) are used as living protection for the idustrial facilities

that is a really good theroy

Where did the water go? Dunno, but the Wilderness Region' in MO is obviously prone to interesting geographical processes. Those plateaux, valleys and cliffs could only have been formed by irregular faulting or erosion by rivers and/or glaciers. That explains both how the Sea Rex got there and why the Wilderness Region has such a perculiar landscape.

Theroy
 
i have a theroy about where the water could of gone, the gluks could of just drained the water from that area

mudflub2 10-19-2002 09:37 AM

perhaps not !
 
maybe it's not a searex!
I think it had legs or something like that.
perhaps its a new creature with a herbiverous appetite that scrabs and parimites hunt in packs?
maybe Xavier has a pic.

Yes, we know they already do that. The Scrab Retreat could, not long ago, have been a lake that was once connected to the oceans. During that time, a Sea Rex, possibly more, swam in, got cut off from the sea and died, either before or after the Glukkons drained the lake. Along come the Scrabs (where from, I dunno) and tear it to bits. Then somehow the Glukkons get inside the Windmill Temple and okay I should think that's quite enough.

Good idea, M.O.M.

And they're not legs, they're flippers/fins.

M.O.M 10-19-2002 09:41 AM

Sea-rexes did not have legs but they had fins/flippers.
(Thats right, aint it xav?)

mudflub2 10-20-2002 12:57 AM

Bingo!
 
What if a sea rex is like a crocodile!
It could have been coming up to rest in the area where you start the level and a mob of scrab attacked it!
there could have been a lake nearby which the gluks sucked up for reservoir
towers!:fuzsmile: :D :D

i think the whole point of the giant skeleton was just to show how B.A. the scrabs are. im sure its not a sea rex. its probably just some large animal that wanders the plains with few natural predators because of its size. i think the sea rex was supposed to be much more than that but got cut out due to time.

Xavier 10-24-2002 05:13 PM

the searex was never planned to be more than a CG character... not a gameplay one

M.O.M 10-25-2002 07:01 AM

On ME do you think they will put sea rexes in?

Wil 10-25-2002 09:55 AM

The Sea Rex was going to be part of gameplay originally, but OWIdecided to scale down on its appearance.

Until it became two skeletons.

paramiteabe 10-25-2002 10:36 AM

I don't really balieve that thing in Munch was a Sea Rex at all. It had legs. And to me the little picture of the Sea Rex looks like a creature that would have fins. The creature in Munch has legs. It could be a Meetle.
