Just a guess...

[T-nex]

Ok... Didn't the Glukkons make Muds slaves becous of the Mudokon moon?? Then what will happen to the Gabbits now that they have a moon too?? Wouldn't the Glukkons be even more angry and maybe try to erase the Gabbit specie???
Just a guess...

[Havoc]

where does that moon have anything to do with it all?
And about the Gabbit moon, I think they should have left it out, it blames a big part of the story for me.

[Nath]

it's not just because of the moon the glukkons enslaved the mudokons, it's because the mudokons are the chosen ones for oddworld. i think that the gabbit moon just means that their race won't die out or summing like that, being that munch was the last gabbit.

And this should really be in the Oddworld Questions and Answers thread.

[Xavier]

well, when did those moons appear?
we never saw the gabbit moons before...

[Esus]

I think the moons were always there. Just because we personally didn't see the gabbit moon, it doesn't mean it wasn't there.

[Fez]

maybe it was in some sort of weird orbit when it stayed behind the mud moon. I wonder is Stranger has a moon?

[Sekto Springs]

Stranger has no moon, only quintology heroes have moons. I think.

[Mac the Janitor]

I don't think they'd enslave the Gabbits...they don't seem like they'd be very efficient with manual labor.

[Alcar]

The moons have always been there, with their individual prints. They were formed many centuries ago, dare I say eons, before Abe lead the uprising. Abe, Munch and the following quintology heroes (and possibly heroines) are infact playing out their destinies (and fate).

I'd imagine Big Face knows more than he let on (though, that's my opinion).

Alcar...

[Xavier]

the Mudokon moon was there long time ago...
we have no infos about the other moons

and only quitology heroes does have moons

[paramiteabe]

Are you for certain that all the main characters of the quintology has a moon? I dunno about that because Oddworld is becomming more and more complex. And with this new game being concurrent then I would be real careful on that notion. We don't know the quintology. All we know is that they are the main stories of Oddworld.

And remember we havent fully explored the true depths of the odd. I believe we are in for some even more serious stuff than what we've seen thus far. Oddworld is so odd and complex that even something as simple as a wall or a huge dam has a story to tell. Perhaps the next character of the Quintology has a sacred wall or a sacred rock. Thats Odd. Or what if the next character is so outragious that it can be a non liveing thing but liveing in a sense of depending on some lifeform to keep it alive like some wierd kind of liveing non liveing relationship? Thats more like Oddworld to me.

Paramiteabe...

[Alcar]

I think it was Abe Babe and Pilot that replayed to us the information that every hero / heroine had a moon with his / her print imprinted on its surface.

It's already been explained, Oddbodd, that every hero of the Quintology will have his, her or its own moon. It's not a spoiler as such, it's been floating about for about two years.

Oddworld was intentionally created ever so slightly collosal so that there would be no need to investigate space. The moons, obviously are essential, and cannot be considered far away enough to be in Deep Space. But don't expect either a visit to the moon (this is fantasy, not sci-fi) or an explanation as to how the pawprints got there (Oddworld still has some spiritualism).

Alcar...

[paramiteabe]

Ah but Lanning stated in Polygon on how his stories are starting to get more more deeper into meaning behind something like a wall or a dam. So whatever it is I think it will be both because Lorne seems to be looking at something new now which Id expect from Oddworld.

[Alcar]

Oh, yes. He did say he was considering changing the entire storyline (well, maybe not the entirety of it), but he didn't make it official. So for now, we only have what we know from the past to go on.

Alcar...

[Wil]

Exoddus Club: Will munch have his own "moon" i.e. something to
show him his importance?
Lorne Lanning: Yes. Each of the heroes of the Oddworld Quintology will have their own moons.

But I wouldn't even take that as granted. Lorne went back on when he said Abe's Moon was created, or at least there was a lot of confusion over it all. Regarding when Munch's Moon 'came about', the precise wording he used in this particular question session was: "Munch's foot print also winds up on the face of a moon too."

[Alcar]

Lorne went back on when he said Abe's Moon was created, or at least there was a lot of confusion over it all.

Ah, I remember that. It was the forumers who misunderstood Pilot and Abe Babe. Pilot was trying to say that the moons were imprinted eons before the time of Abe by meteor strikes. Everyone misunderstood it for "just as Abe left Rupture Farms".

Alcar...

[Wil]

Ooooh, right! That all makes sense then, except Lorne saying we would not find out how the moon was created. But at least that's not continuity.

[Xavier]

alcar... pilot said the "moon" or the "moons"?

[Alcar]

alcar... pilot said the "moon" or the "moons"?

I've pretty sure he meant "moons".

Alcar...

[Xavier]

hmmmm the mudokon moon will make sence
but why the other moons also?
Gabbit never were concidered as the "choosen ones"

[Wil]

The Gabbits aren't necessarily a spiritual race: they simply may never have claimed to be the Chosen Race, which is certainly what set the Glukkons against the Mudokons aeons ago. It seems strange that they would act totally blazé to its appearance, but then they don't appear to be the most deep-thinking of creatures. Munch is definitely a relatively simple being, though whether that's because of his age, I couldn't say.

Who can say. And just think, a similar discussion is going to crop up with each Oddysee of the Quintology.

[Xavier]

I would prefer to see the first moon as a sign, that predicts the quitology, and the next moons appear big even after big even of the quitology.
it would be better that the footprint appeared while much was accompliching his mission in MO

[Wil]

You know, in a way so would I, but until there's some official word on the matter, we can't say for certain when Munch's Moon was created. Unless Lorne did actually tell Pilot and Abe Babe that all the moons were created long ago.

[Havoc]

I still think those moons (exept the mudokon one) should be left out. As far as im concerned Abe's the only main character in the quintoligy probably together with Molluck. Munch and all other future 'heroes' are just seondary elements IMO.
I think the entire story evolves around the battle between Abe (Mud leader) and Molluck (gluk leader).

[Sekto Springs]

Molluck is not a gluk leader, he's just a very rich guy. In fact, if any gluk ever saw him again he would probly have Molluck shot.

[Xavier]

I think the 5 moons are great, they add to the mystique of Oddworld.
Something involving an upper being maybe?

[Havoc]

Molluck is not a gluk leader, he's just a very rich guy. In fact, if any gluk ever saw him again he would probly have Molluck shot.

I actualy meant that Molluck was the main Glukkon character in the quintoligy.

[Nate]

As far as im concerned Abe's the only main character in the quintoligy

Sorry to say this Havoc but you are missing the whole point of the quintology. The running theme is that of the underdogs joining together to defeat the powers that be. Thus teaching the kiddies an important lesson in teamwork and mutiny

[Havoc]

I guese Oddworld focust a little to much on the mudokon spiecies the first 2 games for me to think that way. But the future games will tell... maybe il change my mind.

[Alcar]

Sorry to say this Havoc but you are missing the whole point of the quintology. The running theme is that of the underdogs joining together to defeat the powers that be. Thus teaching the kiddies an important lesson in teamwork and mutiny

Hehe, yes that is true. But who says the Mudokons are the good guys, and the Glukkons are the bad guys? I think we'll find out later on that the Glukkons are in fact repaying some revenge upon the Mudokons (more deeper than the Glukkons being called the inferior race).
