It is widely suspected that they will be rediscovered in the future.

However, I personally hope that they are never seen, except in a flashback or a game set during an earlier age. If they were no longer extinct it would destroy the emotional effect and demonisation of the Glukkons that originally occurred in the AO opening FMV.

They should have Meeches in the game.

Even though Meeches are extinct, thay should have some that still exist.

What?

If something is extinct it CANNOT be active! The Meeches don't exist anymore.


And quit making retarded threads.

Seriously. STOP making threads. I tried to be nice in the first like... 3. Now you're starting to grind my gears. Save your stupid-ass comments.
There's a reason this thread exists - http://oddworldforums.net/showthread.php?t=13279

Meeches look dangerous, and they also have 3 mouths, or is it 2?

I think they have a mouth surrounded by several toothen appendages, like the things in Deep Rising.

According to Lorne, Meeches have four jaws. I suspect they open like a flower rather than stacked mouths.

They always struck me as kind of a 'missing link' between Paramites and Scrabs. The Meech does have a lot of Paramite/Scrab qualities.

I don't think they should be in any of the games...
I think it is good to be realistic about that sort of thing... There are some things that aren't coming back

Havent you guys pay attention to Nate_dog_woof. I totally agree with him. It will good to see them in FMV in some kind of flashback form. This gives some great idea how they move and sound.

The might have gone extinct in the direct proximity of Rupture Farms. What about other continents?

I love Meeches (they are probably one of my favourite Oddworld creatures) but they should remain extinct like the said above to show the evil of captilisation but also so the mystery of them remains. That's what makes them seem so interesting.

Meeches are real cool looking and just awesome, which is why they should stay extinct-The affects of the Industrials need to be shown and remain. Meeches should only ever appear in a flashback, or if a pre-Qunitology game is ever made (And even then they should only appear a little). I'd partly like them back, but they should remain extinct. And Glukinator, don't double post, use the EDIT button!

Oh, I was adding a little extra to your quote on the emotional effect, I was going to write the same thing, but instead I just added my point with yours.

They should stay extinct, but I've always thought a game set pre-AO would be cool with meeches in them. I would love to see a Meecharnian temple and discover their characteristics, environment and game speak.

I agree that they look like the missing link between scrabs and paramites, which would probaly explain their extinction as there might not have been many of them compared to scrabs and paramites.

There's a tribe that worships the Meech known as Mudoncho. Whether they have a temple is still unknown, but it's very likely.

^^They're believed to exist, not definitely exist. Alf has denied them existing remember. I'd also heard that the possible name of that tribe was Mudmeechee.
