Abe=Shrykull?
 
This may sound far fetched but could Abe be turning into the Shrykull? It seems hes getting stronger. He sure seems stronger in MO in the way he bounces around and moves. Plus he can pick up rather large things like explosive kegs, Sligs, and other Muds. I mean how much does a slig weigh with those mechanical pants? Could it be that when Abe recieved his tatoos they are beginning to manafest throughout his body which could transform him into the mighty Shrykull some day permanatly and not only sometimes? Which would result that he would become a god to his people. He has the ability to become the god but is he transforming into him?

Perhaps when he finally brings the Magog down and frees all of his people he will become the mighty Shrykull and stay as as the god and anyone who opposes the Mudokin nation would have to answer to him.

I know this sounds far fetch but its just a thought. And I heard a long time ago that Abes tatoos are growing too as much as abe is.

I dont think so Shrskull is a god, and abe cant turn into him because the shryskull god has not died! and his strength could be he has moved a lot more objects and is geting stronger its like when you are five you cant lift anything to hevy but when your 13 you can lift a lot more things that are a lot heavier!

well cant rely on a god all the time can you!

Wow paramite! Thats a real good theory! I think it is possible, but I don't think he is totally turning into him. I think he's just like, borrowing his powers or something. Either that, or he's just been workin' out. I meen come on, blowing up Sligs and shutting down major corparal bussinesses really works yer abs!

I think when he brings down the Magog, he should go for a holiday in Hawaii.

But seriously, that idea is awesome, he would be so cool if he was permantly Shrykull, although I agree with M.O.M's point about him being a god, but maybe if he turned like half Shry, half Mud, and we found out that his dad was Shrykull and mother Sam. I know it couldn't happen but it's like Hercules and he's cool. Well Hades is cool.

Half Shrikey half Mud? But in't Shrykull allready half Mud half god? So, he'd be like, 3/4 Mud, 1/4 god. Hehe, that should look interesting. *imagines picture of big blue Shrykull with a wittle loincloth, and a ponytail*

Abe is just getting stronger lke oddling said what he does for a living has gotta make you stronger!

Facsimile 12-14-2002 08:56 AM

I know he isn't his dad, I was just playin 'round.

M.O.M 12-14-2002 09:15 AM

oh sorry....i can be a bit slow! still shryskull is kinda like a gaurdian too abe!

Jacob 12-14-2002 11:57 AM

K, they implemented the whole "allowing Abe to pick things up" thing not because the Shrykull is getting stronger but because it would allow a less linear approach to disposing of enemies/overcoming tasks.

Yeh, exactly. It's just a simple thing done for gameplay; no "hidden message" or anything.

Talk about overanalyzing...
