When I think about which creatures pop into my head the most when I think of Oddworld, I'd say Scrabs are usually one of the first. I played AE first when I was really young and I could never make it past Mudanchee Vaults, and I wasn't aware it was possible to start with paramites first. So for the longest time I couldn't make it past the Scrabs.
I really dig the whole gimmick with Scrabs too. How they're dangerous alone, but will fight each other if two of them meet. It was pretty cool. Kind of a shame that they're underused in MO, and in the one level that they are present, they're kind of fucking dumb.
