The only thing we really know about the sea rex is... well we don't know anything except for what is obvious from the name. It is a large sea dwelling creature.

Oh yeah, and we know it preyed on gabbits before their extinction.

Here is the only pic.

Think Whale, but nastier and more ferocious. The Sea-Rex is, upto now, the biggest creature in the sea (As the name 'Rex' means king and so basically 'Sea-King' is its name) it preys on Gabbits and uses its flipper like appendages to propel itself through the murky waters, using sonar to track down its prey.

Chris, where are you getting all this from?

Not that I disagree with what you said about Sea Rexes, I actively agree.

Actually, it would make more scence to think of a sea rex as a pleseosaurus with I think 2 spins on the back of its head. Just a guess

Looks more like a whale/plesiwhatever mix to me, if that is meant to be a Sea Rex, that is. It's not the best of piccies, but if you look at one in-game, you'll see it has

Yes as you see it resembles more of a cryptoclidus. with a slightly shorter neck then a pleasiosaur. but very large. Sea Rex is a very mistirious creature.

I know that guardian. I thought sligster was talking about the Shrink. Isn't his species a guardian?

Oh, the Shrinks species is Shrink. The term guardian is just given to it because in a way it is a guardian of who/what ever.

A small snippet from The Oddworld Encyclopedia article about Shrinks:

:
Often called 'Guardian Angels' for humourlessly ironic reasons...
Guardian Angels, not Guardians.

And he's hardly a species, more a piece of technology.

The Guardians are now petrified around necrum where they have protected it...From what? ..NO one knows...A good theory was that they protected it from rival tribes....Glukkon perhaps...To be more correct youll have to find out when the guardians acctually existed in Oddworldian history...When that much is done you can make a better theory of what they were guarding it from...Possibly from creatures that were just not holy enough..I dont know.
