Perhaps we should categorise them in different, obvious ways, such as the kind of skeleton they have, and the amount of limbs. So it follows:
Classification by skeleton (Copied and pasted shamelessly from my previous list)
Endoskeletal (Skeleton on the inside - anchors muscles)
Fuzzle
Chippunk
Ratz
Bats
Meep
Skunks
Boombats
Sleg
Slog
Steef
Outlaw
Wolvarks
Sligs
Vykkers
Interns
Grubbs
Scrab
Paramite
Mudokon
Elum
Birds
Clackerz
Gabbits
Glukkon
Gloktogi
Searex
Exoskeletal
Bees (Only because of the name, I'm afraid)
Bolamite
Thudslug
Stingbees
Zappflies
Mugs/Meetles (The baby meetles appear to have any rigid shape at all - thus my reasoning)
Fireflies(Again, only because of the name)
Skeletonless
Octigi
Slurgs
Clasification by limbs (Arms and legs)
No limbs
Fuzzle
Slurg
Fleech
Zappfly
One limb
Ratz
Meep
Two limbs
Chippunk
Skunk
Boombats
Sligs
Slegs
Slogs
Gloktigi
Three limbs
Gabbits
Four limbs
Outlaw
Wolvarks
Interns
Grubbs
Scrabs
Paramites
Mudokons
Elums
Clackerz
Glukkons
Bolamites
Stingbees
Thudslug
Octigi
Six limbs
Steef
Seven limbs
Vykker
Whilst writing this, it occured to me that Fleeches are
specified to be a Vykker creation, and so would not technicaly fit into the group "Systema oddworld natura" at all.
Looks to me that boombats, skunks, chippunks and fuzzles should all be put into the same group. They all have small or non-existant limbs, except the boombat, and only two of each, except, once again, the boombats. There may be three ways to explain this - one is that the concept pictures, clearly depicting a boombat with two wings and two small feet, have been discounted(Because you don't see these feet in the game), the second is that the wings are the things ears, and the third is that the boombat has four limbs. Could be any of them. Then there are the monopods, the ratz and meep, that could both be put into their own group also.
I don't understand what you're talking about with the super species thing. Mudokons, Sligs, and Glukkons are all different species. Have a look at this
http://www.oddworldlibrary.net/togg/...=CAMO0079.jpg3
, once again from Xav's website. There we see the title - family Octigi, with a Gloktigi, an Otigi, and a Guckon. Not being able to actualy test individual species, a fair ammount of guessing will be involved. Posibly, if the glukkon is taken out, then it could be renamed genus Octigi, giving an octigi the scientific name of
Octigi Octigi, and the Gloktigi a scientific name of
Octigi Gloktigi. But, a Glukkon does not look to be in the same genus. The problem here is that terms like "Superspecies" don't have a context to work in - yet. We need to establish a form of scientific classification and present it, before we start talking about it.
Hey - I'm running along in tangents.
Please note, I'm in no way a biologist, but I am interested in the classification of the life of Oddworld.
