The Skeeter - Recently Revealed Creature

I couldn't find any mention of it here (mostly because the search function seems out of order), and it says "6h" which I assume means "six hours ago," (no idea how Instagram works, I've been under a rock) so here it is.

This is a Skeeter. It didn't ever make an Oddworld game, but if it had, it would have flown around and then sucked the blood out of its victims' heads. That's its bloated stomach at the front. Yup.

Very alien looking.

It would definitely fit right in with Stranger's live ammo. I'm glad to see some new released content, even if it is just a render of an unused creature.

Flying Needle Nopes.

I think there was a tiny page for them on the wiki, but I've never seen an actual picture. Creepy.

I had heard of them before, but that picture looks new to me.

Which forum theme do you use? Also, which browser? I thought we'd fixed the bugs with the search box. Either way, you can always use the advanced search page.

It's so cute how excited Lorne is in that video, I love that passion.

Native theme, Chrome on my computer, then Safari on my iPhone. Search attempts result in a blank, white page.

Advanced search works fine, though.

Ah, yes. This is a very long standing bug in Native theme across all browsers. Use the Advanced Search from now on and you'll be rightio.

I've always wanted to know what Skeeters actually looked like; I'd had my own design and honestly it's pretty close.

(Four times larger than most creatures seen in Oddworld so far?)
It's vitcim would be a lifeless husk in moments. What a nightmare, no thanks!

With that said I wonder how this creature would play out if it were in game
