Meeches?

Zom-B · #1 05-01-2005, 01:33 PM

Hey guys, Me and my mate have got a hold of abe's oddysee and exoddus again and we are playing through them (damn, these retro games rock). We have completed munch's oddysee on the xbox and have just got stranger so we will be playing through that too. My question is.. does anyone have any information about meeches? I know they are extinct but is there any pictures of them? pre-production art mabye? well, thanks for any help, the oddworld games rock.

Yeah, I just played AO a thew days ago aiming to get dibey dibe mudokons, but instead I got 98, how tipical can you get.

Anyway, what I know about Meeches is that they like to hunt Elums in packs. Also if your woudering how the look like, heres an concept art.

wow, sweet thanks for that artwork.. is there any more concept art? I've looked on oddworld universe but didn't see any

Dipstikk · #4 05-02-2005, 08:48 AM

Not to our knowledge. That was the only released conceptual art for the Meech, and remains so to this day.

well as they said in ao they are extinct.I was thinking maybe they are one of oddworld's first creature's and they were scraped.

Zom-B · #6 05-02-2005, 09:06 AM

yeah, i guess so.. damn, they look brilliant. I'm gonna buy this book of artwork i've read about on the forums. I hope its not really expensive.

Meeches fly around using gas propulsion technology. They're very clumbsy creatures which lurch about in the air. Once they catch their prey, the meat is passed to their mouth by the spines along their back.

Ha, ancient fan speculation is outragious.

meeches were designed to be extinct, and they will stay like that...
perhaps we can see them in events taking place before the quintology

stingbee · #9 05-02-2005, 10:56 AM

what will oddworld do when they finifh the quintoligy

***Xavier*** · #10 05-02-2005, 11:08 AM

probably do something else...
we don't know yet

DUDE... those meeches look so awsome!

Zom-B · #13 05-02-2005, 12:21 PM

Oddish · #14 05-02-2005, 12:27 PM

Yeah, they got 3 jaws. Probably one of the best oddworld wildlfe desgns.

God, how I wish I could issue out warnings and ban people.

I actually think he's trying to be banned. Either that or he's playing "I'll show you" because of the trouncing we gave him in his goodbye thread.

This was the subject of a long discussion a while back but I think the conclusion was that they have four jaws: top, bottom, left and right. The right one is just not visible in that image.

Oddish · #17 05-03-2005, 08:01 AM

Are you sure?... it could be true.

No, how about we really, really, don't?

Who said that? XD Damn.

i understand the meech munchies poster in abes oddysee now, before i couldn't make out where the meech was because there was an odd shaped blue object on it, but now i can see it's a meech biting into a munchie! thanks for the help guys

sligco · #20 05-04-2005, 04:32 AM

ya i saw the meech but it dint giv me a very good picture of wat they look like

stingbee · #21 05-04-2005, 07:26 AM

I coulden't quite make out what it looked like in ao,but until I seen the avatar on here I knew what they looked like.

***Wil*** · #22 05-04-2005, 12:54 PM

Meech jaws: Lorne himself said they have four, but the picture suggests three. Nate's suggestion is the workaround.

I don't know who came up with that description of Meeches, as they were on a usenet group I was never part of, and which now no longer exists. The information is second hand, although third hand really, as the usenet guy said it came from an insider source.

OddAlchemist · #23 05-04-2005, 04:47 PM

when i first saw it i thought meeches were the elums just they used a diffrent name for the product. i think i was 12 when i figured out they were diffrent
