Idea Most likely Oddworld race to be revealed as the fifth hero?

Who do you think the fifth oddworld hero will be? I guess it might be a totally unique race... but if not, which race do you think it could be?

A Glukkon hero would be interesting, a possible return for Molluck maybe?

Got to say Slig, Or though a glukkon hero would be ironic.

You could of included some non-evil races. I'm not quite sure what a khanzumer is but a kinto would be awesome.

Well, I picked out the sentient races that haven't acted in a heroic way yet.
Scrabs and Paramites are unlikely since they can't talk. A Slig would be interesting, but they are probably too evil on the whole to have a heroic side to them.

quite true, isn't it in their nature to love and nurture things around them, but are leased out to the Magog Cartel to toughen them up?

I reckon it'll be something we've never seen before. It would be kinda stupid to have four heroes of races that have been introduced with each different game of the Quintology, then suddenly have a Slig or something for the fifth one. It'd disappoint me.

On the other hand, I'd like the fifth to be sufficiently foreshadowed in some way =).

I think a weirdo would be a good choice of hero. Imagine that, use your supernatural powers to destroy enemeis. Battle foes in the pysical world and the mysterious mudokon netherworld.

Wull I no dat there is no fith game about oddworld anymore (HOW DARE YOU LORNE IM URE NO1 FAN) but I think it would be Slig.

Perhaps a slig in the fall off oddworld that came into contact with Abe face to face but didnot kill him in rupture farms, then he is in the birthing room of oddworld and it blows up,he has to survive released fleeches scrabs paramites other sligs and mudokons (dont like hoe munchs oddysee changed them to scrubs and changed there clothing)

i think dat teh fifth lead will be a dalek cause dey r so cool (LORNE LIKES COOL SO HE'D USE DALEKS) but I don't no how itd jump.

On a serious note, I have no idea. Probably a new species, but I'd like it to be interesting. To be honest, I thought Stranger looked too much like an anthropomoprhic lion until his extra legs were revealed.

EDIT: WoF beat me to mocking.

I would so have posted a rickroll link, while pretending that it was a pertinent interview with Lorne, if I wasn't fairly convinced that Xavier has had quite enough of that joke for the time being.

I'm thinking that 'The Five' would possibly have to meet at some point, and then something awesome would happen. But if one of those five was a villian, rather than a hero, it would be an interesting challenge to try and fight against their own nature.

Also, on a slightly irrelevant point, I'd like to see a game where Abe has to venture into the netherworld. (Which would hopefully have a less generic and more Mudokonian name, possibly only pronouncable by whistling)

In reality, a Slig hero might only work for a bonus game... in the same way that Stranger's Wrath works. I think a Slig would be too much of an anti-hero to be part of the original series... If you look at AO, AE and MO, all of them are heartless Except for Wildum, who deserves their own fanfic (maybe by me! )
