OSW had Stranger, and while he had a good design, it was nothing to celebrate.
I woke up this morning and spotted a Glukkon on a poster. I thought, “What the hell is that?” That's the honest truth. I look at a Clakker or a Grubb and I think, “Oh look, a fat chicken,” or, “Woah, didn't we all draw creatures like that when we were six?” Now we get, as Dipstikk puts it so aptly, an anthro cougar, and the problem with that, tentacle_orgy, is that Oddworld is already populated with fantastic, original, alien designs that use new shapes, new body structures and amazing attention to realism to produce a menagerie of practically believable, very understandable creatures that remain distinctly Oddworld. Fangus is a lion-Hulk. His flock are demonic sheep.

Well, I guess we all have our own opinions, but I think Stranger is one of the very best designs OWI has created. I mean, I like alien creatures as much as the next, but I really couldn't give a rat's ass about the fate of a vykker or intern. You can't really relate to them. I'm a huge Clint Eastwood fan, so I may be more intrigued then others may be.
I understand that we have seen chickens before in our world, but they deserve a little credit, for putting a whole lot of character into those guys. Once again, they are more memorable, personality wise then say a paramite.
I think OWI doesn't want to be seen as a company that only creates weired aliens. They may need to open up to a bigger audience if they want to fufill their vision.
And just in my opinion, I think Fangus (real or not), looks pretty sweet. We need to give them a chance, it's not like we know any better, it's just a different view.
