Heard of Scrabs

According to the books that came with Abe's Oddysee & Exoddus, scrabs really hate each other...so what's with this "Scrab Heard" video on the OI site?

hello, Gluk, Schmuck! welcome to the forums!

In the official Oddworld Inhabitants site, at Alf's Rehab and Tea, there is a very simmilar question about Scrabs. It's in Dear Alf archives of march, 2001.

here is the transcript:
:
Q: I thought Scrabs were solitary creatures that hated each other; so why are there cinematics on the site in which you see Scrabs in herds?

Alf: The Scrabs you saw in past games were "Alpha Scrabs"- rogue males that can't stand the sight of other Alpha Scrabs. Long confinement in stockyards and ancient temples had made them a bit cranky. In Munch's Oddysee, you'll see Scrabs as they live in the wild É with a single Alpha Scrab at the head of a heard of lesser Scrabs. They're still pretty cranky, though.
there is also thisbit of info in the Scrab Page:
:
Scrabs are viciously territorial monsters straight out of a nightmare. Pair off a couple Dominant Scrabs and you’ve got a brouhaha for the ages – the one thing they hate more than upstart Mudokons are other Scrabs. Finding yourself between two Dominant Scrabs is a great way to boost your insurance premium. Not much to look at, but terrific dancers.
