About Gloktigi, what are the species of that family?

Josh · #**1382** 01-05-2010, 08:33 AM

Gloktogi, Oktogi and Glukkons.

Here's the size guide:

I thing that second Oktogi is when it attaches itself to a Steef.

Thank you, thank you very much.
A spontaneous question that I got now is if a Glukkon turns into an Octigi 0.1, the into an Octigi 0.2 and then into a Gloktigi... is it right?

Josh · #**1384** 01-05-2010, 08:47 AM

No. They are of the same genus, not the same species. Thats like a human turning into a monkey.

Bullet Magnet · #**1385** 01-06-2010, 04:19 PM

Actually, that would be more like a human turning into another species of human.

Which is why they're in the same family, not genus, or is that still not broad enough? Because family would totally make that comparison legit.

If a taxonomic family on Oddworld stands for the same thing as on Earth, then it would be like any species of hominid turning into any other species of hominid. That's transformation between any of the great apes. We'd have to go up to suborder Haplorrhini to swap between apes and monkeys.

But then maybe Oddworld's taxonomists go by a different scale.

And then again, transformation of individuals between much less related species is possible via the Supernatural Spooce Cannon.

I thought monkeys and humans were both classified as Homonids, in which case, wouldn't it fit with Oktigis and Glukkons?

Josh · #**1389** 01-07-2010, 09:15 AM

Wait a second, Pilot and Used

switched avatars. *Mind is blown*

I'm noy sure I understand. Oktigi is the family. Were you comparing Oktogi and Glukkons like monkeys and humans? Or has my brain fianally melted?

Humans are in the family Hominidae (hominids), monkeys are a paraphyletic group split between numerous families, including Cercopithecidae (cercopithecids), Atelidae (atelids) and Callitrichidae (callitrichids). Along with the great apes and lesser apes. They're all contained within groups of higher rank, but they're different families, and not all hominids.

We were comparing the evolutionary difference between Oktigi and Glukkons to the evolutionary difference between humans and monkeys and finding the analogy lacking.

Quick question. I was watching the AE cutsences and I notist is SoulStorm brew a green liquid or is that just the glass bottle it's in?

Also with the Okrigis (Which I only just found out about) is there a other species of Mudokon or species like Mudokons

***Wil*** · #**1392** 01-08-2010, 01:00 PM

I believe that it's a green liquid, despite the orange colour of the AE cover. That's why Brewmaster has green-stained skin, and if I recall correctly there are other green stains about the scenery.

But then the empty bottles are definitely green.

used:) · #**1393** 01-08-2010, 04:14 PM

Plus, you can see green, residual brew running down the blind Mudokons' chins.

Is Molluck still alive? We just see him get zapped at the end of AO and he sits there and sizzles, but could he possibly return?

***Xavier*** · #**1395** 01-14-2010, 10:50 AM

Yes he is still alive and will return somewhere in a next chapter of the quintology.

ConceitArturo · #**1396** 01-23-2010, 09:41 PM

Oddblog hosts the Lorne and Nate interview....PART ONE??? I read somewhere that there were EIGHT parts, what's with holding back so much of it?

not to sound thankless at all, I was completely mindblown by the scale of all the concepts that lorne discussed in the interview and I think it's an incredible chance....but really, what's the hold up?

***Wil*** · #**1397** 01-24-2010, 01:34 AM

All eight parts are there. Two comes directly below one. Three directly below that. Not sure how you could miss them. You realize you can scroll down website pages, right?

Lord Stanley · #**1398** 01-26-2010, 01:24 PM

Will Abe ever return?

Taco · #**1399** 01-26-2010, 03:05 PM

Yes, he'll appear in other quintology games I believe. If OddMobb are going to release any this century...

The art book has lots of HQ frame renders from AO and AE fmvs, were the full fmvs ever made available at those higher resolutions/quality?

At some point I imagine they were. Bear in mind though that those images were taken during production, and it's not likely that high quality renders of fmvs still exist.
My first thought is that they might have rendered select scenes in higher resolution for the Abe's Exoddus short film. Based on the visual quality of the FUD TV segments featured on the pre-order DVD, I'd have to take a guess and say the sequences were never rendered in high res.

Question: why doesn't the blind Mudokon who dies at the beginning of AE count as a casualty for Abe's karma? Does he really die?

***Wil*** · #**1403** 01-30-2010, 03:29 AM

He bounces. Haven't you played Munch’s Oddysee?

Phylum · #**1404** 01-30-2010, 03:39 AM

I recall this being discussed before...

I have a good one! Why at the end/beginning of AO dose Abe get tied up, not shot like the rest of the time?

Josh · #**1405** 01-30-2010, 03:57 AM

Molluck wanted to get revenge for him freeing/killing the employees.

What? He doesn't bounce I remember well!!!

Can't you hear the "splat" sound when he touches the ground?

***Nate*** · #**1407** 01-30-2010, 06:17 PM

He landed on a very comfy couch and then was taken out to the countryside to live on a farm with puppies and lambs and tadpoles. That's why you haven't seen him since then.

Phylum · #**1408** 01-30-2010, 07:13 PM

He landed on a slig, which are surprisingly soft.

When seconds ago you would have been executed on the spot?

It was a different situation, because in the board room, after using Shrykull, Abe couldn't (or at least shouldn't, according to the storyline - in-game you actually can) harm the Sligs that were coming to capture him, so they didn't have to shoot right away.

Gwan-Thwei · #**1410** 01-31-2010, 12:13 PM

I hate this forum. I wish I'd never signed up.

And what do you mean that they 'didn't have to shoot right away'? In the game, I remember that they shot me on sight. They didn't do any of this 'waiting prissy crap'. That's not what sligs do.

BTW I want either Nate or Max the Mug to answer this: If I don't liek beign on this forum, is there any way I can get my name and info taken off so I don't have to keep coming back?
