Kahnmuzza (I think thats how ya spell it)

[kjjcarpenter]

Has there been any pictures or info released on them? Like will they ever come into the series?

Anyway thanks in advanced

[Nate]

No pictures and little information. All we know is that they are ultimately they are the real power behind the industrial families because they hold the money that the Glukkons and Vykkers produce products for.

[Sekto Springs]

It's spelled 'Khanzumer', sounds like 'consumer' (OW famous play on words).

They are, well, the consumers. They buy the products that the Vykkers produce and put moolah in the Glukkons' pockets.

I think I saw a picture of one once. It was basicly a skinny yellow guy with a top hat.

That's a Chronicler.

Alcar...

[looney-bin]

What do they do then? Do they own companies or something?

This should clear things up. Everything revolves around them. Sure, there are others, such as Clakkerz, but I don't think we'll be seeing them buying products for a while. Glukkons probably buy sligs' pants, so Khanzumers aren't the only one who buy the products. Maggie also most likely buys Gabbit lungs as well.

[used:)]

I imagine Khanzumerz are a race similar to Clakkerz (minus the anthro chicken thing). Only they have more money and are in a higher population.

[Oddish]

Industrial species we have seen have their position in the indusrty, manufactoring companies (Glukkons, Vykkers) and the primary industry such as farming (Clakkerz). What I think about the Khantzumerz and how they differ from the rest, they could have a role in highest position in the top industry sector, like entertainers, or mabey politicians (featherless birds?) Or simply treated like gods and lay there all century untill they catch a heart disease cuased by obesity. Flood, sleep, drink, chat, you know? (hmmm, they could probably be compared with the lowest of the low, if thats the idea)

What do they do then? Do they own companies or something?

They're basicly lawyers. Or anything to do with office work.

I will add an important note: it's never been said whether Khanzumers are a race (a distinct species) or just the Oddworld word for consumers.

[Sekto Springs]

I read somewhere that they were a large, devilish species and Glukkons produced fine products in fear of being eaten. The authenticity of this sounds highly questionable.

I mean, who the hell would want to eat a glukkon?

[looney-bin]

I mean, who the hell would want to eat a glukkon?

A fleech after being flushed down the toilet? :P

[Sekto Springs]

I don't think Fleeches are intelligent enough to muster around revenge.

[Nate]

I always imagined the Khanzumers being huge, gross things lieing around like Jabba the Hutt.

[Bullet Magnet]

I agree with Max. I've seen no evidence that they are an individual species. It sounds to me like a political statement on OWI's part. When they said that the Khanzumers were the only truly evil race on Oddworld. I think they are just talking about the consumers. We are consumers. The consumers are the ones who have the real power to change things, the way corporations opperate, our effect on the environment. It's all down to what we choose to buy and want we don't. The consumers, or Khanzumers, have the power to put things right, but their greed in choosing the cheapest of everything, is the most evil thing of all.

That's what I think anyway. Essentially OWI has just labelled us all as evil punks.

[Xavier]

and themself too...

everyone has a bit of khanzumer in him.
well most of us

[magic9mushroom]

Yes...the consumer economy hasn't done much for the Kyoto protocol in Aus...so we'll all die
