Animals of Oddworld (V2)

Well, I thought since it's been almost a year since the last one, that it would be OK to make a new thread like this, especially with all the new people that signed on since and would like to share their opinions. The point was to make a list of Oddworld animals that best compare to their Earth counterparts and argue your thoughts over about the differences between the animals with other people like in the first thread. A sense of Humor is reccomended.

The mods can close this if it's their desire.

Original Thread:
http://www.oddworldforums.net/showthread.php?t=13860

Finally have a list:

Mudokon: Lizard humanoids.
Gabbits: Close to a mudskipper.
Scrab: Very dominant crabs.
Bolamites: 4-legged spiders.
Paramites: Hand-like spider with actual meat on the bone.
Elum: mulE.
Glukkons: Octopus-head bastards that do hand stands all their adult
life. Corporate species.
Vykkers: They look a lot like greys (the most commonly seen of aliens).
Steef: Wildbeest.
Slurgs: Slugs.
Sligs: Advanced slugs of the next generation. Vertabrates.
Slogs: Yes, dogs.
Slegs: Similiar to slogs in a way.
Meeps: One eye+one leg= one sheep. Oops, my mistake.
Zappfly: Electrifying fireflies.
Bats: Bats
Ratz: Rats.
Meetle: Oddworld's beetles.
Stunks: Skunks.
Chippunks: Chipmunks.
Grubbs: Mud grubs.
Outlaws: Outlaws in many different forms.

I'll work on it more as I have time.

Well, yes, but in a way we know them as creatures from the stories and claims about greys on Earth. They do slightly look like vykkers. Everypne's entitled to their point or opinion.
