Sad Really, a Scrab Trap?

Sorry to make such a topic but I'm not too happy with it being called a scrab treap. Where, I ask you, is the logic in that?
It's near the beach and near a forest so obviously nowhere near scrabs.
It just happens to make the noise of a gabbit, and not that of a scrab and so is obviously not for scrabs.
Other traps were similarly seen withing Vykkers Labs on the computer terminal, but they were also not catching scrabs - but fuzzles instead.
So, maybe this should not be called a scrab trap, as there is nothing that implies it is made for catching scrabs...

Yeah its a scrab trap but the Vykkers tampered with it and made it so that it will attract and capture a gabbit.

Thats all.

well, scrabs eat gabbits, right? so they are attracted by the noise that a gabbit does

We've seen Scrabs in all sorts of different enviroments...how do you know they don't live near the beach, eh? I'm fine with them being called Scrab Trabs. It's better than what it was called in E3!

It's had many names; Scrab Trap, Bear Trab (bears on OW?), and just Trap. I personally don't care what they call it, it traps poor fuzzles and gabbits Isn't that more important!? And like Oddguy said, scrabs dont only live in the deserts, many scrabs have been herded into reserves out there where it's rural. But my guess is that it is a more paramonian area due to the packs of paramites we saw fleeing from the Vykker pods.

Yeah I remember it being called a bear trap, but I think that was just the early name for it. I would personally call it a paramite trap, or rat trap, etc. Being most of those creatures ran past Munch when he got stuck in that trap in the forest.

It doesn't bother me at all.But I would prefer being it called a Wilflife trap.Scrabs,paramites,fuzzles,etc could get near it anytime.

Maybe they put it by the sea so that scrabs couldn't get near it?What would the vykkers do with a scrab?

Don't you think that'd be a little too big for anything besides a Scrab or Gabbit? I mean, anything smaller and they would be killed in the trap, right?

you'd be surprised how many sick uses a vykker can find for an animal on oddworld

the "bear trap" was used in the E3 video and was probably because the large public didn't knew what a Scrab is, but do know what a bear is. Better communication for the ignoring people

i know there are no bears on OW. But i think the name "bear trap" is misleading, but like you said Xav, the public can connect with a bear better than a scrab.

Yeah, I'd known it was once called a bear trap.
I suppose I see the reasons why it's called a scrab trap.
