blood · #1 05-08-2002, 05:10 PM

Hi i'm starting a topic on oddworld creatures, I think the best are scrabs. What does everyone else think?

***Xavier*** · #2 05-08-2002, 05:41 PM

vykkers!
long time ago... ahum... a topic about the best creatures...
the how much is it ?

blood · #3 05-08-2002, 05:47 PM

Ok I changed my mind, Vykkers are the best creatures. They are the most wierd anyway.

I voted for Sligs, they're kewl and they're just fun to possess, also they're voices are funny and they way they live.

I think your right about the sister crack Xavier.My sister is living proof that sligs exist.She screams when somthin goes wrong and if she wants it ,she gets it.In that case shes almost like a 4 year old Glukkon.Sure there filthy rich and get a slig to shoot another on command but we aren't rich at all and she still gets to be treated like loyalty.You now what this isn't really about oddworld.sorry if it's spam!

I voted for sligs since I can relate to them... they are lazy and yet efficient at what they do (which, in their case, would be sadistic acts). I also think that the whole robotic pants idea was a brilliant and original idea by OWI.

P.S. I'm not sure I would consider Greeters creatures since they are nothing more than cheaply built buckets of bolts which attack the very customers they were built to give aid to.

I like Paramites =P But Scrabs are cool too

Sligs, of course!
They are cool by themselves, but they also have all of the robotic parts to make them even cooler. Plus, they are the only ones with guns

Oh. Darn. And I was hoping I'd class as that.

EVIL! YES! I WANT TO BE EEEVIL! ... um. What are you guys staring at? *nervous grin twitching across face* Now, now... put DOWN the spade, be good. *activates one of those whips from Andromeda, forgetting what they're called and protects self with it*

Y'know. I keep thinking Glukkons cannot be the personification of corporate evil. They can hardly do anything aside from walk and talk - there's got to be a creature thus more successful than Glukkons if you ask me. Like... Vykkers, for example. *shrug*

OK I know greeters are not creatures anymore but sligs are cool, I like the idea of the bigbro slig and the fact that oddworld.com said they were'sligs on steroids'

Mac the Janitor · #17 05-10-2002, 01:08 AM

Whoops, sorry!

I don't have MO.

paramiteabe · #18 05-10-2002, 03:32 AM

Interns, Sligs, gabbits, and Meeches even though they are extinct possibly!

Genral.E.Stupid · #19 05-14-2002, 05:14 PM

ok so greeters arnt actually creatures but they still rock exedingly hard. none of the other creatures are quite as random as the greeters

Mojo · #20 05-14-2002, 07:41 PM

SCRABS SCRABS SCRABS!!!

SCRABS RULE!

I like their speed and ferocious nature...

The best damn predator on Oddworld (Yet)

munchman · #21 05-14-2002, 08:05 PM

Well that makes two of us.

Mac the Janitor · #23 05-15-2002, 11:45 PM

I've noticed that they create a new kind of slig in each game...
AO=Walking
AE=Flying
MO=BigBro
ME=???

What kind do you think they will introduce in ME?

***Xavier*** · #24 05-16-2002, 02:42 PM

someone propsed a bigbro flying slig...
but I don't like the idee

Genral.E.Stupid · #25 05-16-2002, 07:59 PM

they should have female sligs in the next one.
they could be more vicious/teritorial than male sligs
or possibly ferral sligs (with the same attributes as above)

***Xavier*** · #26 05-17-2002, 03:36 AM

there are no female sligs (except skillya)
but yeah, maybe the slig in the pink dress...
I wonder what his role is

Yeps, OWI said all Skillya's brood was male - presumably excepting the other queens that she would be producing (like bees do, I think, only queens are rare)... I wonder what happens to the infant queens...? Does Old Lady Skillya just get their necks wrung so she doesn't have to share the profits with anyone? Hm, I wonder if they're all fertile males, or if there's a small number that are fertile but the rest are just sterile, again a bit like in bees, only bee drones/workers are female, I think. Soldier bees are male... Hm, that'd tie in with another of my pet theories (the "I hate the steriods explanation" one), that big brothers are actually a different class altogether, to account for their different bone structure... *wanders off rambling*

Oh, and I think I remember Alf saying (in the same answer to the one in which he said all sligs were male) that the slig in a dress was a game host(-ess). He has to wear the dress (which must be kind of humiliating for the poor sod, although I think it's maybe on a par in the humiliation-stakes as that valet's outfit... ugh *shudders*) as there's no ladies to wear it.

***Xavier*** · #28 05-17-2002, 01:52 PM

who wants a slig whith a dress?
not Glukkons...
not Vykkers, who?
Karinzumers ?

***Wil*** · #29 05-18-2002, 08:56 AM

Sligs would find a Slig in a dress hilarious. Just like humans find a man in a dress hilarious. Or disgusting, of course. Depends on the situation.

And besides, something on Oddworld has to represent the ridiculous Earth gameshows where people humiliate themselves.

***Xavier*** · #30 05-18-2002, 10:07 AM

oh no...
poor slig, but what the herder stik he have in his hand ?
