That was a joke. I would follow with a snide comment, but you're a Moderator. It's just not wise.

My personal opinion is Muds + Gabbits. Everything else is carnivorous and therefore would die by themselves.

i think by independent it means "without the aid of other another race" not if they were the only things alive

What is wrong with this thread and why has everybody turned cannibal?
Everybody has suddenly turned cannibal because it just isn't clear to them that a new person isn't as much a fan of Oddworld as they are. I don't know if I should state my opinion, since I'm NEW, but I don't think anything's wrong with this thread.

Both Mudokons and Gabbits have meat in their diets.

Yeah I am super witty.

And just so this isn't spam, Mudokons are the most independent, that's right, you heard me. Mudokons mow face.

I definatley have to say...Scrabs. Scrabs, while social, have many different defenses and strengths when alone. Huge and Sharp Teeth, speed, powerful hind legs that can propell them forward relentlessly toward lunch, and claws at the end of their feet that can slash at an opponent. Paramites my survive, but they are very social and may depend on others. Scrabs can sometimes be found alone and still be powerful (if any Odd fans remember the stockyards in Rupture Farms with the single scrab going after the Mudokon...ewww...brutal)

Most of the Fuana [Untamed "Animals" of Oddworld] survived for ages before Industrialism crept in from the dark corners of the world, and continue to. Thusly, I'm going to guess that all "Mindless" beasts (Scrabs, Paramites, Slogs, Elums, etc.) and such would survive fine.

Glukkons would be the first to go. Years of lack of reliance has caused them to develop vestigal legs (Or perhaps mold, like Chinese footbinding). This disadvante would cost them heavily if forced to turn to their own devices.

Sligs might survive. As they do engage in work and labor (albeit, morally dubious in nature), it would seem more prevailant that they have always had no legs, and that they had adapted to that mode of living. It would be hard to get back to their roots without pants (previously provided by the Vykkers and the Magog, but not anymore ), but I reckon they'd survive.

Vykkers are harder to predict. They'd most assuredly perish in the wild without technology, but if given sufficient resources, I fancy they'd construct what they needed themselves. Their medical skills would ensure longer lifespans and disease care, and technology would enable them to fashion weapons. Hardley the defenseless overlords that the Glukkons are, but slightly handicapped by the lack of good help.

Interns...well, "Not even Interns think Interns are smart." They've been deafened by their rock music and stoned on pharmaceuticals. Suffice to say, their drive to survive is shot, even if they could beat withdrawl.

Mudokons have been living in the natural world secretly for years, without help or acknowledgement from anyone else. Suffice to say, they've already proved their prowess at living alone.

Gabbits, not so much. Remember, Munch's species was hunted to the brink of extinction. Not such a hot track record there.

Steefs, although strong in will and build, have been pushed to the brink of oblivion (or so it would seem), so far as that many locals think they're only the stuff of legend. Would they survive on their own? Depends on the competition.

Clankerz would suffer and die, slowly. Actually, I have no idea for them, but I'd like to think as such.

Grubbs problems don't seem to arise from lack of contact with other species, but from the exact opposite. I fancy that if they were left alone, they'd flourish better than they currently are.

Outlaws and Wolvarks are both rather standard races - two arms, two legs, and rather resiliant bodies. They've also demonstrated a pechant for taming wildlife. Suffice to say, they'd do fine.

Sekto's species ,whatever it's exact name might be, relies soley on hosts being plentiful, or at least available. Without their fellow species to captain, they'd be reduced to rather intelligent bottom-feeders. Nothing more.

I agree. That was well said.

I do detest your statement about the Calakkerz, I guess it's because I have chickens.

In that case if everything feeds on something else Oddworld is going to the dogs ANYWAY as a small population of herbivores supporting that many carnivores is impossible

Don't you think the carnivores could feed on each other? I mean, maybe that wouldn't work on Earth, but this is Oddworld we're talking about!

We probably haven't seen many of Oddworld's herbivorous animals because, let's face it, there's little need to run away from them.

The herbivorous variety of Meetles are also herbivorous.

My point is that you made a comparison of a creature that isn't real to a creature that noone has seen. Dumbass. If you want to make a comparison that someone can relate to then you should probably add an element THAT THEY CAN RELATE TO. Dumbass.

Elums like honey. Does that make them herbivorus or insectivorus?
