Unused Oddworld Wildlife -

@Max never thought of it that way.
BTW, does anyone know why they cancelled the use of meetles and mugs?

Phylum · #32 04-16-2011, 10:34 PM

It was one of the many features cut from MO. I think it was because their numbers were going to depend on your actions, but there weren't any opportunities to alter things in the final game.

Sekto Springs · #33 04-17-2011, 12:54 PM

Weren't they going to be a large part of Hand of Odd as well?

Dynamithix · #34 04-17-2011, 02:25 PM

At least from what you can tell from this picture, probably yeah.

***Wil*** · #35 04-17-2011, 02:50 PM

Though that picture isn't strictly a Hand of Odd picture, if I recall correctly. I have the actual E3 pamphlet that's from at home, I'll be able to check in a couple of days.

Dynamithix · #36 04-17-2011, 03:03 PM

Ah, sorry then. I wasn't too sure either if that was related to HoO or not.

I found the Luskan Raiders fascinating, does anyone know which game they were supposed to be in?

so thats where kinto got his name from

that's correct

See! those pink things with the bid eyes and the one bunny-ear! I could have sworn that their babies looked like purple fuzzles!

I thought Abe was going to encounter them in the desert. But the Lusks were a very early design, right? So they may have been included in a story arc that never came to be.

If it weren't for the fact there is only one concept picture of it, I would have believed you.

No, the pink thing with the big eyes and the one bunny-ear ARE the babies of Meetles. The purple Fuzzles ARE purple Fuzzles.

I don't get why the Glukkons never just made food outta all of those other things. Silly Glukkons wasting up slaves on icelollies.

I think they weren't actually planned for a specific game. The production designers sometimes created characters and species to flesh out the world even without a plan of how they were going to use them.

What a waste of a potentially good character.

Phylum · #46 04-19-2011, 03:54 AM

They could still be used in a future project.

Sekto Springs · #47 04-19-2011, 10:49 AM

I still want to see the Musklum in something. He was one of my favorite designs.

Gwan-Thwei · #48 04-19-2011, 08:38 PM

>googles Musklum<
Ah, it got sort of a nauntulus feel to it. I have a feeling that they would be similar to sligs though.
Here's a pic, it's the biggest I could find.

I just want to use the Musklum gun!

Bullet Magnet · #50 04-23-2011, 03:23 PM

I read that as "I just want to use the Musklum girl!"

Eyebrows were raised.

Gwan-Thwei · #51 04-23-2011, 04:20 PM

Let's not forget about the Kinto.
I heard that they lived on mountains, and were relativly stupid. I also heard that they have a fear of carrying anything on their heads, so when they carried some queen (either slig or glukkon) they had to be trained a lot.

Hmm, it's not coming up. Wierd. Well, if anyone wants to try to repost it, here's the link. http://img808.imageshack.us/f/kinto.jpg/

I love it when people come on the forum and make like we should all be astounded by the knowledge they are imparting, when really anyone who's done a bit of reading on the Oddworld Library/owns the First Ten Years book already knows about it.

No, wait. I hate those posts.

It's not that they have a fear of carrying anything on their heads; they don't like having anything above their heads, like a ceiling or roof.

Gwan-Thwei · #54 04-23-2011, 08:52 PM

Interesting. So when it's like snowing of something, they just endure it, rather than seeking shelter. Seems like an evolutional disadvantage to me, but I'm sure they'd live with it somehow.

Also, not to be immature or anything, but is that vestigal legs on a kinto's pelvis, or it's genitals?

MeechMunchie · #55 04-24-2011, 06:16 AM

It seems that rather than designing their creatures with genitals, OWI just put dribbling goo where they should go.

They did it with Kintos, Interns, and I think Glukkons.

***Nate*** · #56 04-24-2011, 06:34 AM

Dribbling goo? What are you talking about?

MeechMunchie · #57 04-24-2011, 06:42 AM

If you can find the colour piece for an Intern I'll point it out.

***Nate*** · #58 04-24-2011, 06:47 AM

*finds the production sketch of the intern*

Oh... now I see what you mean. Ewww.

Thankfully, that didn't make it in to the final game.

Gwan-Thwei · #59 04-24-2011, 08:40 AM

Hmm, I can't find it. Can you send a link?
