Also, were the characters in a version of Fangus ever just going to look like anthromorphic cats and dogs, like Clakkers were with their chicken designs?

From Lorne Lanning:

Raymond Swanland and I were really interested in developing a part of Oddworld that was more like where Eastern Europe meets Russia. Russian Mafia coming in as a political force and sheep herders being ousted but I wanted to do it more like the dynamics between cats and dogs. All these Russian Mafia guys are going to have this feline heritage and the sheep herders were more like dogs—but imagine dogs evolving 50 million years later. That’s what Fangus was. In that one illustration that was released of him, you can see some canine‐like qualities and he was going to be super bad‐ass as a character but I didn’t want to lose the really neat opportunity of having this really very different type of story in the world.
