Yeah, I kinda noticed that...

Anyways, there was a topic about this a while back. I think everybody came to the conclusion that it was a Sea Rex.

Along with that theory of it being a Sea Rex, they also thought that area was once underwater.

It's what I believe at least too.

Kai came with the theory it was food for them gived by industrialist to keep them alive (there is no other food), the creatures (scrab and paramites) are used as living protection for the idustrial facilities

Where did the water go? Dunno, but the Wilderness Region' in MO is obviously prone to interesting geographical processes. Those plateaux, valleys and cliffs could only have been formed by irregular faulting or erosion by rivers and/or glaciers. That explains both how the Sea Rex got there and why the Wilderness Region has such a perculiar landscape.

Dead perhaps not !

maybe it's not a searex!
I think it had legs or something like that.
perhaps its a new creature with a herbiverous appetite that scrabs and parimites hunt in packs?
maybe Xavier has a pic.

Yes, we know they already do that. The Scrab Retreat could, not long ago, have been a lake that was once connected to the oceans. During that time, a Sea Rex, possibly more, swam in, got cut off from the sea and died, either before or after the Glukkons drained the lake. Along come the Scrabs (where from, I dunno) and tear it to bits. Then somehow the Glukkons get inside the Windmill Temple and okay I should think that's quite enough.

Good idea, M.O.M.

And they're not legs, they're flippers/fins.

Idea Bingo!

What if a sea rex is like a crocodile!
It could have been coming up to rest in the area where you start the level and a mob of scrab attacked it!
there could have been a lake nearby which the gluks sucked up for reservoir
towers!

i think the whole point of the giant skeleton was just to show how B.A. the scrabs are. im sure its not a sea rex. its probably just some large animal that wanders the plains with few natural predators because of its size. i think the sea rex was supposed to be much more than that but got cut out due to time.

the searex was never planned to be more than a CG character... not a gameplay one

The Sea Rex was going to be part of gameplay originally, but OWIdecided to scale down on its appearance.

Until it became two skeletons.

I don't really balieve that thing in Munch was a Sea Rex at all. It had legs. And to me the little picture of the Sea Rex looks like a creature that would have fins. The creature in Munch has legs. It could be a Meetle.
