What is whrong with this poor mudokon! What happend to him!? Are this things like vines that grow into living things to help build and gather energy quicker!?
That's what I think.

[VykerSawBones]

im not sure but i think this mudokon is in some sort of creature and giving it energy probably cause it got hurt or something not sure.....

[Sl'askia]

Its a statue, showing signs of nature reclaiming it as part of itself....nothing more.

[VykerSawBones]

oh.......

[Oddsville]

Yep thats just a really old Mud statue in Monsiac Lines. Probably just for religous porpouses sience its praying.

[Xavier]

there are lots of statues of creatures of oddworld around, especialy in Temples, this one was a concept for monsaic, plus a bit plants on it.

[TheKhanzumer]

I don't think that is a statue. Perhaps it is a native mudokon so in touch with the spooce (a spiritual energy that binds all living things) that it has given up it's physical vessel. Or maybe it is a plant which has been masterfully grown in the shape of a mudokon.

[Sl'askia]

No...its a statue...if you look on the right side of a pic you see a normal mud standing there with a spear, much smaller then the statue.

[TheKhanzumer]

Here is another picture of the same concept. This one looks more statuelike than the other.



I still don't think it is a stone statue though. That mudokon with a spear could be in the background. I could be wrong though, maybe Max knows something about this. It is probably nothing more than a concept that never got anywhere.

[Xavier]

He can't be in the baground (not same light effect)
it's maybe a statue made from mud or something like that

[Kaimana]

I think its a statue. it looks like it has been there for ages.

[Wil]

Actually, that Mud is in the foreground, or at least is closer than the statue.

I think it's just a statue, although not necessarily a stone one. I don't really think it's important, but if you tied me to a chair and threatened to tickle me feet I'd guess either stone or some hard woody part of a plant.

[molluck2]

maybe this statue is covered with skin or something

[TheKhanzumer]

You guys are right, that little mudokon isn't in the background. That means that my wierd theory is wrong. The "poor mud" is just a statue. I think it was probably grown that shape instead of sculpted/carved though. It looks like a living plant.

[Xavier]

can be, you can do so much with a bit meditation and magic.
can be a sign that mudokons are realy close of the nature

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Yes, it is a statue. I've seen this production art up at OWI, and although I forget what the captions are, it is a native Mudokon statue.

No, there's just a very good hedge-trimmer around, lol.

It is very much a statue a very mystical and spiritual one that expresses Mudokon religion and there tie with nature.

hmmm okay, so the problem is solved, it is a statue, not a plant, not a giant mudokon

Doesn't your pledge of confidentiality prevent you from telling us stuff like that? Just how far does your vow of secrecy extend?

[Xavier]

Max, didn't you notice the subtilty? he gave us the awsner, but didn't told us what the text was...

hehe, no I doubt he did that intentionaly
