I never even talked about the Meetle, I just mentioned it! I was only describing the page so you will know exactly what I am talking about!

AIN, I have a question for you; do you now know what a Sea Rex is?

Excuse me, I didn't read carefully.

If I asked what is a Sea Rex in Oddworld, it is because I don't know what is it!!!

Who came up with the Sea Rex? And what does it eat? Gabbits maybe?

It probably eats whatever it can swallow (and more). It may have been Gabbits though, hence it's extinction. If there's no food it dies.

Grubbs are a branch of the Mudokon family. Not Mudokons as such but it's the closest thing to them. You may think it's a bit daft, but I think it's quite clever. You can go to one part of America and find a species of bear living in that area. Yet you can travel miles and find none of that particular species, yet that area is populated by a different type of bear.

Fuzzles seem to be a world wide creature, like Rats.

Vykker are sophisticated enough to travel from one area of Mudos to the other, so the presence of the Vykker is nothing special. Just like a someone away on bussiness really.

And the rest of your questions belong in the Forums Suggestions and Help forum.

Fair to say, but now that we’ve told you what a Sea Rex is, do you know what one is?

Since when did Sea Rexes become extinct?

This is awesome; it shall soon be done!

What is the foetus on the cover of the artbook meant to be?
They are the fœti of twin Mudokons! Xav managed to get Alf to explain more:
:
Q: What is the story or meaning behind the two little fetuses in the OW logo? -Xavier

Alf: The twin fetuses have long since been absorbed into Oddworld lore. The caliper and test-tube motif for the Oddworld logo was created for a brochure for the 1999 E3 convention. At the time, we were working on two games simultaneously; Munch's Oddysee and Hand of Odd. As time went on and the gears of corporate commerce kept turning, Hand of Odd faded away and Munch's Oddysee became the sole focus of production. In the end, Oddworld gave birth to a kicking and screaming Munch's Oddysee only. This is the history of the twin fetuses.
:
- I heard stranger's wraith theme is coming. When?
Theme for what? For the Oddworld Forums? Well, it was an idea, and there was some work done on it, but in the absense of anyone with the perfect combination of vBulletin template experience, graphic manipulation skills, time, and enthusiasm, the Stranger’s Wrath theme was put to rest several years ago.

:
- why is there no Mudokons in Stranger's wraith?
Lorne says they wanted to use a (virtually) completely new cast of characters (races) so that when writing the story they wouldn’t be tied down to the behaviour fans expected of the more familiar creatures like Mudokons. I’m not sure exactly how.

:
Grubbs are a branch of the Mudokon family. Not Mudokons as such but it's the closest thing to them. You may think it's a bit daft, but I think it's quite clever.
WHOA, HOLD IT! Mudokons evolved from birds. Grubbs evolved from fish. They’re no where near that closely related! Mudokons are probably more closely related to Clakkerz.

Oh dear. I'm still living in the past. Three years later and I'm still going by the rumour of Mudokons and Grubbs being related.

Maybe I was mistaking it with something else about the Sea-Rex. I've probably mixed it up with a T-Rex and somewhere in the back I've my head I thought the Oddworld one was extinct.

Question: when Abe stops extracting tears from Mudokons in SoulStorm Brewery, why do Mudokons become sick?

Good question! My guess is that with all the tears they shed, these Mudokons would quickly become dehydrated if they didn’t have liquid intake. This would be in the form of SoulStorm Brew.

I have always thought this. But I wasn't sure. Or another possibility is that they have drunk SoulStorm Brew and they have been punished with the tear tractor. And so they were already sick when they started being "extracted". But I prefer your opinion Max. Iy's more credible. Thank you !!!

I always figured that they, like many of the muds in the brewery, were already sick from brew before they were shoved into the Xtractors. Perhaps being ill makes Xtraction more efficient.

In fact. Or maybe they were forced to drink SoulStorm Brew before so they couldn't understand where they were going to go and so they couldn't rebel. And to have a better quality of tears as you told.

Does it ever speak of Sam in Munch's Oddysee? At the good ending of AE when you save all the Mudokons when the Weirdos say "We'll tell you all about Sam when you meet Munch" or something like that. =/

That was actually an idea introduced to us in AE. The Mudokons were given Brew bottles in their native habitats, and were given the chance to work for brew in the factories.

Do you mean when Phleg and Sligs gave Mudokons free bottles in the desert telling them that if they'd worked, they could drink SoulStorm Brew when they wanted?

Yes, the commercial application of Brew and other industrial products is to get natives and workers addicted to the product. Once they’re dependent on it, they have to work for the Magog Cartel or continue buying the product. It wasn’t just Phleg that did this. Addiction has been the tool of corporatism throughout the history of Oddworld and Earth.

Ok. New question: what can Glukkons do with Moolah? What do they buy? They don't wear rich clothes. They smoke, yes, but what do they do when they aren't in some factories with their Moolah?

Private dirigibles, expensive office furnishings, fancy clothing, membership in exclusive clubs, casinos, expensively rarities and collectables: anything to make themselves look as rich and successful as possible. This is the basis of their social status and the cornerstone of their culture.

More businesses, more employees. Anything to consolidate their power, make them richer and make mommy happy.

And, yes, the American spelling of 'mommy' was meant quite ironically.

Having not delved into Oddworld cosmology, astronomy, geology, or indeed any of the sciences in regards to the study of the planet (which would answer quite a few queries) we assume that the planet of Oddworld was formed similarly to Earth, barring any irregularities. Which, might I add, is nothing to do with the Big Bang theory, which concerns the origin of the universe, not planetary development.

You want the nebula hypothesis.

I'm not sure Oddworld and Jupiter have the same amounts of moons...

plus Lorne stated that Oddworld was not really in the same universe as earth
