Ehm... I don't quite understand what you mean... I mean, you can possess Scrabs. Well, at least in AE and MO... And you couldn't do it in AO, cuz Abe just found out about his powers, and didn't know how to use 'em properly (That's my theory anyway). And the howling is:

1: For getting another Scrabs attention.
2: For unlocking the Shred Power.

In AE that is. In MO, it is just some sort of... Uh... Yeah, what is it?

Oh well...

The Scrabs in AO and AE made the same sounds
MO scrabs made....rare noises, and they didn't fight (i understand the dominant male, yadayadayada,)

Its all messed up in MO

I haven't got a clue what i'm on about

Oh THAT howling... I always thought it was kinda like a tribute to the Shrykull... I mean, how many Muds can possess things? I think they (Scrabs 'n 'Mites) were born with a connection to the SK... As for AE, Abe's powers just got stronger... And it wasn't necessery (sp?) for Abe to possess Scrabs and 'Mites before...
