Im just asking what the hell is a gabbiwog hehe

can you send me a pic too please

Doug · #2 03-13-2002, 12:24 AM

It's the polliwog (tadpole) form of a gabbit. Sometimes, or at least formerly, known as a gabbit tadpole.

I don't know where to get a picture, but if they exist, there are lots of members who know where to find them. I'm sure you'll hear from them.

Thx for giving me that info DOUG really needed it thx man your a life saver.

Gabbiwogs are Gabbit tadpoles (baby gabbits or in their larvae form)
Hee is a quote from oddworld.com:

:

Baby Gabbits who, like tadpoles, gradually gain new capabilities as they grow until they become full-fledged Gabbits. Munch is currently the last of the Gabbit species, Gabbiwogs are no more than a historical curiosity. But they sure are cute!

And here is the picture:

Great picture, Lampion!

Could you imagine if you had to start out Munch by playing as one single gabbiwog woundering Oddworld. That would be funny!

uh dude, i dont think youve been told this yet. at the bottem of a post, theres a thing called edit. you can only edit your own posts unless your a mod or admin. if you forgot something, go to edit, and you can fix your post. several double posts is not a good start....

Gabbit · #11 03-13-2002, 09:51 PM

kleeng · #13 03-14-2002, 03:24 PM

Man!! how do you find these things?

It just keeps amazing me!

Every time OWI posts a picture you seem to have either: a. a bigger version, b. a better quality image, c. pictures related to the subject nobody has ever seen befour or, d. posted the picture befour OWI did.

hmmm like oddbodd said it, I come from the future

Dequibenzo · #15 03-16-2002, 01:56 AM

I agree, you are sent back to give the people at OWI the images before they create them. Then, in the future, when they re-publish them, you come back and give them to us. Therefore, since every time you do this time resets, Xavier already knows absolutely everything there is to know about Oddworld, Oddworld inhabitants have actually finished all of the installments already, Lorne Lanning is just some guy he picked to release it (because, obviously, Xavier's super-shiny future pants would give him away if he did it himself), and all the ideas came from some guy (maybe still Lorne) from another dimension.
I should probably check out that "sleep" thing people keep telling me about.
Oh, and, mr future man, I'm still waiting for images of Kinto slaves. I know Max said there aren't any yet, but the term "yet" means nothing to you temporal traversing types. By whatever magic you procure them, kinto info would be greatly appreciated.
And did you know that Gabbit is a scottish semi-swear (like darn or heck) for God Damn it? Of course you did, in the future, Scotland is all that's left, and people live in cities that float above the moors supported by propellers powered with whale brains, and...
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Lampion · #16 03-16-2002, 03:51 AM

Hello, Dequibenzo. Actually, a production picture of a Kinto Slave was released a while back, in the early months of 2000. here it is:

Unlike Mr. Xavier, I don't have any problem revealing my sources. This picture can be found at Munch's Oddysee Designer Diaries, Entry #8.

:

By Max:
KINTO SLAVES:A sort of toad mixed with a mountain goat. I'm sure there's a creature that despises things above its head on Earth, but I haven't in the last two years been able to think of it.

I hope someone has this picture above in a higher resolution, so that we can read more about kintos.

Mr. french man?

***Xavier*** · #17 03-16-2002, 05:31 AM

about kinto slave I just have seen there skelet... where?
On the main page of "oddworld universe" of the official site, yeah in the middle, it's a kinto

http://www.oddworld.com/ow_universe.html

Dequibenzo · #18 03-16-2002, 05:41 AM

Okay, I just read through all of those journal entries and looked through the images- Wow. A LOT changed in the transfer from PS2 to Xbox. It's kind of sad, all that incredibly cool stuff they were planning on doing- the final version of MO seems kind of pale withoug lumberjacks and queens and mudflubs and big moral decisions. It's sad, to see all that work and those great ideas, chucked, probably for time or budge restraints. I never thought I'd say it, but maybe they should've stayed on PS2.
Uh, but, that aside, thanks, that clears some stuff up. Yeah, let's try to find a bigger version of the image, read that text. Xavier, this looks like a job custom tailored for you, buddy.

***Xavier*** · #19 03-16-2002, 08:42 AM

sorry I only have 2 images of the kinto slave
the one lampion showed and the one on the unvierse main page of oddworld

sorry guys I'm only a human

BTW: I'm not a frenchman... I'm a Belgian that speak French and Dutch

***Wil*** · #20 03-16-2002, 11:56 AM

I said I didn't have a picture, not that there wasn't one. I can even tell you what that writing says, since Paul O'Conner is lucky enough to work in the same building as that piece of paper:

Actually no, I've just tried it, and Yahoo has decided to be absolutely pathetic today. As always.

Dequibenzo · #21 03-21-2002, 02:13 AM

Oops, my mistakes, guys.
What do you mean, Max? Do you know Paul, or something?

***Wil*** · #22 03-21-2002, 04:21 PM

Tsk! Silly me! I forgot to explain that both Paul O'Conner and I are members of the Oddworld Group, a public Yahoo Group. Abe Babe and Sydney are/were also members, as are/were several of the Oddworld Veterans from the early GT Forums.

I say 'were', the place is dead even after my revitalising post last month.

Anyway, I can now give you the text of the Kinto Slaves concept picture:

"Munch: Kinto Slaves. Kintos were a peaceful race of mountain dwellers. Agile climbers and able to jam their single powerful toe into any crack and able to scale any rockface. Kintos never liked anything over their heads - nothing - no tree branches, no shelters, no hats. Maybe this is why they have no discernable heads. They only sleep and live outdoors, under the vast sky. It is only 'natural' that Glukkons should take such a race, enslave them, mostly indoors, and force them to carry heavy loads on their heads and backs."

Oh, and the Oddworld Group is at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Oddworld/

***Xavier*** · #23 03-21-2002, 04:34 PM

nice Max
I have an other official info about Kinto slaves
They helps Maggie, the gluk queen

strange...

Dequibenzo · #24 03-22-2002, 10:17 PM

Okay Max, I signed up too. Always glad to further an Oddworld site in whatever small way I can.
