Oddworld Questions & Answers VII

[abe is now!]

Spooce just helps Mudokons get to know the spirits of nature.

And could the Almigthy Raisin a good intermediary for the Mudokons?

[Hulaabeo]

Is there any Searex faces out there?

[Wil]

Not since the last time you asked.

Unless you mean Sea Rex fæces.

Why weren't there flying Sligs in Munch's Oddysee?

Why weren't there flying Sligs in Munch's Oddysee?

At a guess I'd say it would've been too hard to program the mechanics for controlling possessed ones given the deadline that OWI had to work to.

[Bullet Magnet]

Floor. Cutting room.

Oops! I forgot I posted that!
In Strangers Wrath at the end whats that crazy octopus thing in the water that looked like a Glukkon?

That is Sekto, he is a Gloktigi, they are parasitic beings that replace the heads of other creatures and control them. To this end Sekto had controlled the Olden Steef.

Because a 3d world offers far too much freedom. Flying sligs would be able to pass beyond the artificial barriers that hem each level (walls, fences, cliffs, that sort of thing).

The F.A.Q. can read your mind and anticipate your questions.

Oktigi. Gloktigi are the huge creepy things that scuttle around Sekto’s factory spitting adhesive green goo and whirlwinding into Stranger like a Sycorax Christmas tree.

Can someone find a good picture of those helicopter things where they drop a vending machine that machineguns your mudokens and make them drunk?

[Wil]

Just get the art book, already, Hulaabeo. There is a fantastic picture of one in there.

[abe is now!]

I don't remember where I downloaded this pic, sorry. There are some Gabbits around Munch... what are they doing? Why are they around Munch? Is it a part or an old conception of a MO's episode?

I don't have the money for it... This is madness but whats that dieing fish on the net that the Grubbs were staring at?

[Silver Cyborg]

Hey everyone. Me and my mum were just playing on Abe's Oddysee, when we noticed something odd. All the Mudokons are guys. I don't think I've ever seen a female Mudokon.

I've only played on Oddysee, Exodus and the GBA version of Munch's Oddysee, but I'm sure there arn't any girls in any of them. Does anyone else think it's kinda strange?

Oh, and sorry if this has been brought up before.

This is simply a little part of a promotion poster for MO, the little gabbits swimming around Munch represent all his yet to be hatched offspring.

probably staring at his certain death...

[Silver Cyborg]

Ahhh, I see.

[used:)]

Yes, the old "Birds and the Bees" talk.

[Wil]

It’s a dying fish. Note the singular. When the Grubbs go fishing with nets, they should expect to catch more than one per cast. There are no fish left because, as you identify, they are dying.

This is simply a little part of a promotion poster for MO, the little gabbits swimming around Munch represent all his yet to be hatched offspring.

Not necessarily his offspring, not biologically.

[Hulaabeo]

I mean what kind of fish is it? I know what Worryfish are and thats way too small to be a searex and too big to be a worryfish.

[Bullet Magnet]

Oh, you wound me. Surely you can imagine that Oddworld's marine and freshwater ecosystem is much more complex than worryfish, gabbits and sea-rexes? The species has not been identified, so its name is up for grabs.

Of corse I know that oddworld has more complex marine life! Im not stupid... Im just curious ^^

This has been brought up since the beginning of the forums(I know I'm new, but I like reading old threads). The Mudokons are like bees. They all are male, except for one female queen, who lays all the eggs from which every Mudokon hatches. The only Mudokon Queen, Sam, is held in a Glukkon Factory, and all the eggs she lays turn into slaves. Also, Glukkons, Sligs, and Paramites have queens. There are even Mudokon drones.

Ha, bees! The perfect concept and inspiration to make such slaves.

But I do wonder about Abe's dad sometimes.

What did Abe eat and drink (except SoulStorm Brew in AE) during the games? Can he live without eating and drinking? Or did he eat and drink something maybe in any factories?

[Bullet Magnet]

During the first two games he must have been hungry and thirsty. Fortunately, he is a mere sprite and polygonal representation. In the narrative of the game play, it would not provide anything.

In MO, however, surely there is something to eat at Raisin's cave, an open bar on Lulu's airship, and maybe some refreshment stops between levels.

[Sanssouci]

Not to mention the ubiquitous vending machines which can't all sell comedy drugs

[abe is now!]

Question about AO: where did Glukkons sell their products? I mean Scrab Cakes, Paramite Pies, Elum Chubs...

[Bullet Magnet]

At their various vendor outlets, of course.

[abe is now!]

And where are these outlets? Did we see any of them in AO? And did we see any outles in AE and in MO?
