I remember a topic a while ago where people said that a certain image was a early image of a meetle, because it said down the bottom of the image.

This image:

And notice at the bottom where it says "Meetle".

Well, i've been looking over Women Gamers, and was looking very closely at the images their. And I noticed that the same image also, had underneith it a label that looks very like that of "Chroniclers".

This image:

Notice at the very bottom there is a thin strip, a label. If you look closely you can see a CHR ??? CL ??.

Also, just wondering, has someone already picked up on this?

look at this

plus the chronicler sign is for the creature next to this one...

***Alcar*** · #3 09-29-2002, 08:54 AM

Meetles, 1%ers and Chroniclers. Am I mistaken or are there two different creatures there, that look the same, but you can tell them apart from the legs?

no you are right, here are 2 different creatures...
and a klinto after Abe

Actually the wording at the bottom of the page that Peter posted looks more like "Character" or "Characters" to me.

Although Xavier's image clearly shows 1%ers.

I saw this 1%ers on my first visit to Oddworld. I honestly was not told anything about them, and if I did I signed an agreement not allowing me to say anything. It is not until now I see this image that I even mention I have heard that name in the past. But I am wondering why all of these gaming companies are allowed to take photos and publish all of this so called information that I was told was not meant to be publicly released (I've seen other such things on links and other images Xavier has found). I'm guessing there's always a time for something to become released.

Abe Babe...

Hmmm, could be right! They both have the same letters at the begginning, oh so confusing!

For some reason that other "thing" next to the "meetle/1%ers" reminds me of the Necrum Guardian, or something similar to a walrus with long tusks.

You right Xavier, yeah it is a Kinto next to them! If we didn't know what they were already then we'd have you to thank for many more possibilities and threads about them!

I often wondered why all these images came out from companies, and not OWI.

***Wil*** · #8 09-29-2002, 01:53 PM

What's Skillya? We have had no picture of Skillya.

This is a Kinto:

They were once used as personal slaves to Maggie (I think is what Xavier said), but we have never seen Skillya.

I think you're refering to the lateral blueprint of one of those things.

who said they will be in the next game? it's just concept art

***Wil*** · #12 09-29-2002, 05:04 PM

Oh yeah. When I looked at the Flying 1%er earlier I though I recognised a B. Not close enough, I suppose. But looking at it, I can see that it's one 'leg' is actually its tail.

Thought: What if that ain't a 1, it's an I? The % could be used to block the name they've given this thing.

what do you mean?

I wonder how the flying machine works...

sO fReAkIn oDd · #14 09-29-2002, 05:10 PM

I think they are using the term "1%" to say that they dont have a name for that paticular creature yet. Personally, I think that creature is its own specific species, and it's going to be a kind of bottom class/criminal type in the cities of Oddworld.

***Xavier*** · #15 09-29-2002, 05:14 PM

yes probably... some killers?
intresting, some inteligent killers, can be deadly

***Alcar*** · #16 09-29-2002, 10:44 PM

I noticed an 'F' at the begginning of the other label, and immediately though 'Flying' but I didn't think it would be a flying 1%er.

Hey, what about, how Meetles can fly?

Could the 1%ers been early Mugs, and the Flying 1%ers been early Meetles? After all they are connected in a way.

Now we just need to find a Baby 1%er! (Larvae)

Alcar...

Jacob · #17 09-29-2002, 11:00 PM

What 1%er!? I cant see anything. The pic has a little cross innit and its annoying.

This amused me...For some strange and sad reason

***Xavier*** · #18 09-30-2002, 02:51 PM

I'm pretty sure they are flying 1%ers you know... it's the same systhem as the sligs, so it's logic

Jacob, glad it amused you

They use their wings, or they inflate themselves.

If this was an early Mug, I think the Flying 1%er would just be a Meetle in a flying contraption, not a Meetle.

dripik · #20 09-30-2002, 05:45 PM

That creature reminds me a slig. Maybe the mechanical pants and that leather mask thing.

***Xavier*** · #21 09-30-2002, 05:49 PM

but meetles and mugs realy don't look like the 1%ers,
I wonder how (beside the names on the pictures) there can be a connection.

It's kind of impossible

TheKhanzumer · #22 09-30-2002, 10:46 PM

My guess is that 1% is just a term used to describe a creature in early developement or something. Someone should ask Alf.

I woulld but I've already sent him about two this month.

BigBro · #23 10-01-2002, 12:11 AM

I dont know why, but I get the distinct feeling that the creature Alcar first posted (mistaken for a Meetle) looks like some sort of criminal as that jacket makes it look kinda like a biker. So maybe they are a gang-type species who ride around on fast machines of some kind, coz he looks kinda evil too. *shrugs*

***Xavier*** · #24 10-01-2002, 04:25 AM

I thnik they are more workingfor somebody... cause they can't do very much themself without all that equipement... I think they are the killers of the industrial side

BigBro · #25 10-03-2002, 02:18 AM

You mean a Hit-Man?? Its possible. But (if they get used), I guess we will find out in due time. I still say they look biker-ish

. But maybe they are bikers and hired killers, maybe not specifically for the Industrials, but more free-roaming than being tied to a specific group.

Jacob · #26 10-03-2002, 05:14 PM

How come the symbol on its thingy looks more like the creature itself than the Magog symbol?

ryu · #27 10-03-2002, 05:18 PM

maybe its the creatures magog uses to make profits a new spieces maybe...........

***Xavier*** · #28 10-03-2002, 05:26 PM

well, yes the logo on their heads are themself.
so they may be independent, an other power full family
a pure criminel family, that can be cool, who lives in the cities and make people afraid to go out at night

ryu · #29 10-03-2002, 05:32 PM

hmmm.........true but speakin of new spieceis ive heard of this creature called rietato do ya have any pics of it?

***Xavier*** · #30 10-03-2002, 06:00 PM

never heard of that? where did you saw that?
