If Fangus is a highland shepherd, I think his name is probably a combination of "Angus" (typical rural Scottish name) and "Fang" (considering LawnChairFire described him as a hulking beast).
Personally, I doubt that this is some prank by LawnChair. Anyone who has HK-47 as their avatar is good people in my book (you meatbags). If it is a joke, it's Game Informer's, and a poor one at that. Considering Oddworld has such a small but rabid fan base, it'd be pretty cruel to stick it to us. Star Wars geeks or Trekkies, yes, but leave Oddworlders alone! I doubt it's a joke at all, really, because if it were I think the described plot would be more contrived to get us excited. "Abe and Munch team up with the Stranger to topple the Glukkon Queen!" Something suspicious like that. Such an out-there plot as a rabies-insane shepherd and his Gamespeak-driven herd isn't a likely ruse.
Also, Conker Tribe (another nice avatar, "What can I do-izz for you-izz?"), I actually doubt that the Invaders are anything but local ones. I have boundless faith in Oddworld's story-crafting, and they'd never stoop to such cliche's. I'm just voicing my vow that the human race shall never defile Mudos lest I rampage!
