Okay here are the answers to my quiz since it dosn't look like anyone else wants to try it (if you do then don't cheat and I'll still grade you).
1. The mudokon who helps Alf with all of the fan-relations stuff is named Buddy. He has been mentioned by Alf in some of the Dear Alf answers and also on the forums if memory serves me well.
2. Doctor Chester Payne is a glukkon who studied the nutritional value of SoulStorm Brew to promote it to costumers. He was one of the three Junior Executives who Abe overheard talking about "the boiler" in AE. An article by him was posted on the early official Oddworld website.
3. The khanzumerz were first mentioned in the manual for Abe's Exoddus. They are the most important race on oddworld because they are the ones who consume the majority of goods produced by the Magog Cartel and Vykkers Conglomerate. They are also rumoured to be truley evil, not doing anything for the products which are made for them.
4. I didn't ask this question well but this is what I wanted. The oddworld creatures with counterparts on earth are birds, bats, bees and skrikits. They almost exactly resemble creatures found on earth. Now do you understand what I was asking? Sorry.
5. Bigface bought his mysterious mask at a junk shop for some comic books. Supposedly it was because he thought it made him look sexy... and it hides his buck teeth. (all according to Alf)
6. What smelled was the fuel of the sligs flying gear leaking and mixing with the lubricants. He then plummeted to his death as his equiptment burned him to cinders. His flying gear was an early winged version which was soon replaced by the cheaper (and less likely to blow up) helicopter design.
7. An early concept sketch of a fleech shows that originaly they were going to be fleshy balls with razor-toothed jaws. They also had a small hole which they shot acid out of. I believe that this design was the inspiration for the fuzzles.
8. Flub Fuels squeezes oil out of river dwelling creatures called mudflubs. Mudflub oil is then used to create the fuel used in many Magog Cartel machines including slig pants.
9. Our beloved mudokon pal Alf was name after Alfred Gamble, a man whos wife had recently passed away. He turned to playing Oddworld: Abes Oddysee to overcome his sadness. His tragic story earned him a character in the oddworld universe.
10. Farzad is a member of OWI. He is the Senior Production Designer (last time I checked) and drew most of the concetpt pictures we enjoy.
