I would imagine they would be no bigger than a young man or a teenager. Around 5ft or something like that. hmmm!

Paramiteabe...:fuzblink:

Xavier 11-11-2003 08:34 AM

according to my archives: 1m70

Wil 11-11-2003 04:41 PM

They're 6 foot - above the human average. I thought this was pretty common knowledge.

Xavier 11-11-2003 05:20 PM

are you sure, Max, where did you saw that?
in my strategy guide (not 100% official) they said 1m70
thus smaller then the human average

Edit: on the old Oddworld.com they said this for Abe
:

HEIGHT: 5'8"

Wil 11-11-2003 05:40 PM

Yes... at least I was. I was convinced it was six foot, but I'll have to go back and check everything. 5'8" is indeed 1.73m, which supports itself. Darn you and your collecting every single Oddworld text. My hard drive just isn't big enough. Grrr! :p

EDIT: Look what I found... :D

:

Alf: Abe is roughly human-sized - you can extrapolate from there.
Id est 6 foot.

What?

Xavier 11-11-2003 05:49 PM

that's why I got my "archives" (7 CD's full of Oddworld Stuff)

anyway, when you look on Oddguy's picture you see they are smaller then 6feets

Abeguy 11-11-2003 07:17 PM

I was thinking something like that

:

LITTLE KIDS, I HATE THEM!

Xavier 11-12-2003 02:00 PM

what is that quote supposed to be? :fuzconf:

Wil 11-12-2003 03:31 PM

While looking at the top of the Mudokons it would appear to show them being less than 6 foot, bear in mind they're not fully up against it, as you can see - they're feet are quick away from the bottom of the thing.

I'm still pretty adamant Mudokons are 6 foot, as I definitely saw the figure somewhere.

Xavier 11-12-2003 03:44 PM

if you are reffering to this picture given by Alf: it's absolutly wrong...
on the old site they said:
Abe: 5''8'
Molluck: 7''

and on that pic it's:
Abe: 6''
Molluck: 10''5' !!!


when you look in the games you can't be wrong... it's the old site that tells the truth



Edit: when you look on oddguy's picture you can see that Abe isn't right against the wall (so he looks a bit bigger) but the 2 other mudokons do and they are smaller then 6''

Wil 11-12-2003 04:40 PM

Ah yes, well done - I wasn't thinking about Alf's picture that you showed, but I certainly agree Molluck is both oversized there and also that Glukkons are seven foot. I checked in the MO manual, though, which reports Glukkons to be a smidgen under 10 foot.

I searched Google and found only one reference to Mudokons being six-foot, and that's in a review. Looks like you're right.

Xavier 11-12-2003 04:52 PM

I checked the manual and it's again something elseeeeee
arg!!!

Oddsville 11-12-2003 06:19 PM

I'd say an average Mudokon is around 5"8 to 6 ft. tall. Plus if you look at the pic in Xav's post above then you see that (according to the messurments.) an average Slig would be around 4 or so feet tall. Now that would make an average Slig just about the same height as Abe, which isn't so.

Here's the point where I loose train of thought and go into a riddiculously long stare while drooling...

oddguy 11-12-2003 06:38 PM

Hmmmmm, Alf has some 'splaining to do!:p

Al the Vykker 11-12-2003 07:08 PM

I never realized how tall Glukkons were compared to Mudokons. I know the large size difference between Vykkers and Muds in Munches Oddysee, but the difference in Glukkons is all new to me.

Xavier 11-13-2003 05:22 PM

Al, that's because Glukkons aren't that bigger than Mudokon in the Abe game
but since MO glukkons seems to grow a lot

Oddsville 11-13-2003 07:20 PM

It also shows in that one pic (Curtosy of Xav....yes thats right..*cough*) that a Bigbro Slig is about the same size as a Vykker; which in the game dose not seem to be the case.

Xavier 11-14-2003 01:45 PM

I think OWI should give us the correct sizes for each creature...
but we saw what Alf gave us when we asked him... :fuzemb:

Sekto Springs 11-14-2003 10:55 PM

well, i guess noone can really say any of their sizes.

look here:
Abe- 5'8" (reasonable)
Munch- about 5'6" seems right
Slig- about 4'9" seems right
Glukkons- 7", i see this being a problem

and heres why:
during gameplay of MO we see that vykkers are much bigger than mudokons making them about 6'9" or taller, but during the gabbiar auction we see a vykker socialising with a jr. executive and he seems much smaller than the glukkon, if this is all true then mudokons are either much smaller, or glukkons are much larger than we thought.

Wil 11-15-2003 08:28 AM

Take a look at this picture, which shows Vykkers and Glukkons to be about the same height - at least Vykkers to be the same height as Molluck, who in all fairness could just be a tall Glukkon. I also noticed that because of the way Vykkers' necks join their bodies, they can actually make themselves taller or shorter like a crane-type thing.

In the Auction Hall, that could just have been a small Vykker, or a tall Glukkon.

Just some more observations.

EDIT: Forgot to attach the picture. :p
