Meeches The ultimate hunter on Mudos?

paramiteabe · #1 10-15-2002, 11:56 AM

Could it be possible that a Meech could of taken out a Scrab and a Paramite not for size and strength but in numbers and smartness? I think so because to me, Meeches remind me of Raptors in how they hunt. Even though we havent seen one in action or one in the wild I tend to balieve that they were probably the smartest hunters on Mudos. And Also incredible jumpers. Just look at those hind legs. They look like they would be great jumpers. I can imagine an entire pack of Meeches attacking a grown Meetle or an Elum out on some kind of field at night. That would be a sight to see.

We will probably see Meeches and I balieve they are thriveing someplace on Mudos. Perhaps an unknown wilderness beyond that Plateau we keep hearing about.

Meeches were, I'm sure, excellent hunters. I'm not sure I agree with your belief that they had tactical minds, but most definitely it was their sheer numbers that earned them victory in battle. You see, Meeches were actually very clumbsy creatures, and were by themselves not great warriors. This leads me to believe that it was really only their numbers that contributed to their success.

Then again, the Meeches were wiped out long before the Scrabs and Paramites ( supposedly, anyway). Whether that's just because of the high demand for Meech Munchies or whether they just couldn't escape from hunters, I don't know. I suppose it could be that they were slow and easily captured, but those legs look mighty mighty.

Could they have also been amphibious? The toes on a Meech look sort of like a frogs to me.

TheKhanzumer · #4 10-16-2002, 11:40 PM

One thing we know for sure is that thee meeches must have been really fast in order to hunt down elums. I imagine and elum running for its life is VERY fast and if the meeches wanted to eat they must be faster.

Btw, this is sort of off-topic but why are the scrabs green on the scrab cakes and why are the paramites orange? Is it for marketing or something? Also, if their colors are wrong, how do we know meeches aren't really blue or something instead of red.

The RuptureFarms logo also has a green glukkon. I wonder why?

Uhhhhh............. good question............ someone's gotta ask Alf or sumtin.

***Xavier*** · #6 10-17-2002, 04:08 PM

you mean... urg we dunno their color? help!
I think they are green lol

Jacob · #7 10-17-2002, 04:25 PM

Its marketing to make them more appealing and pleasing to the eye. Scrabs are a howwible reddy colour, so if they make them, like, a bright green then it will draw more attention to them. Same goes for the Paramites.

Fez · #8 10-20-2002, 09:05 AM

i'd imagin that meeches were clumsy but since the high demand for meech munchies they would have to evolve to survive, which is why only the clumsy meeches were killed and the evolved ones live someplace else.

That raptor idea is well cool.

sligster · #9 10-21-2002, 12:15 AM

But it takes hundreds of years to evolve. Take a chicken, speed time up by.... oh, say...... 5,000 years, the only thing that the chicken would have evolved is sharper claws, and mabey the ability to fly!

***Wil*** · #10 10-21-2002, 09:17 AM

I don't think a chicken would evolve like that. They're all 'domesticated' now, and since we're the ones that protect them from foxes and the like, they've no need to protect themselves.

Besides, chickens have spent the last few hundred years evolving to be clumbsy fliers.

But you're right about evolution taking a long time.

ZombieX · #11 10-23-2002, 11:14 PM

Besides, chickens have spent the last few hundred years evolving to be clumbsy fliers.
So a few hundred years ago, in oh, say 1700, chickens were soaring through the clouds? So when people wanted chicken for supper they whipped out the old 12-guage - oh yeah, they whipped out the weapon of the period and shot 'em down?

Instead of clay pigeon shooting did they have clay chicken shooting?

But you're right about evolution taking a long time.
Yes. A few hundred years ago dinosaurs were roaming past St. Paul's?

Just couldn't resist, sorry.

linsey this doesn't make any sense, try to slow down a bit when you type, or double check it when you're done.

lindsey · #16 12-14-2002, 06:25 PM

im allso trying to find the one I like

Canned Gabbiar · #17 12-31-2002, 10:39 AM

I would agree that Meeches were excellent jumpers and IF they were carnivorous like most other oddworld creatures, then they probably were great hunters. I have some doubts about them having "great minds". They were the first to get wiped out(well, at least according to Rupturefarms). Their intelligence probably ranks somewhere alongside that of the paramites and scrabs. I was hoping to see meeches in MO, but what can you do?

crack shot · #18 01-06-2003, 10:39 PM

parmiteabe you say that meeches have lot o smartness, if they did have smartness and number they should of had a way of not making their self extinct and turned into lunch.

The Shrykull · #19 01-13-2003, 06:37 PM

Well I can see everyone here is a fan of the Meech. I do beleive that meeches were like raptors, I wouldn't say they had tactical minds but I would say that they all waited in a circular formation behind some vegitation in great numbers and wait for an Elum or Meetle (Like in Jurassic Park 3). This thread has some great theories. Keep it up!

P.S: Vote for the Meech as the greatest hunter on my thread

M.A. · #20 01-24-2003, 06:24 PM

1. if a meech have had a tactical mind, wouldn't it be possible that some other creature like the glukkon is smarter?

2. if they were like raptors they would be hard to locate and catch because they could follow your moves without being seen itself

and one last question..
in the two first owgames abe would be granted with the power to turn into some other creature after saving (remember:bird portals with a number hovering in it) an exact number of mudokons on one turn, remember

Adder · #21 02-08-2003, 12:06 PM

As far as AO tells me Meeches are extinct. Do they appear in MO??

no, they don't

paramiteabe · #23 02-08-2003, 05:57 PM

Well the only reason I would think they were smart is perhaps they were smart in the way they captured Elums by sneaking on their prey and takeing them by surprise. But that doesnt rule out extinction. You can be a smart hunter and still be killed off. Inteligants in the case of a Meech would be more along the lines of a small Dinosaur. I mean they were probabaly stupid for a creature but smart in the ways they hunted. I am trying to relate a Meech to that of small Dinosaurs as you might know in the Raptor idea. Ok so they may not have been too bright but that doesnt mean they were not awesome hunters. Well it works in my fan fics at least. Lastly maybe the Meech was a great hunter or scavenger but it could be scared easily like sudden noise could cause a Meech to just sprint off scared stupid. I don't know thats another theory I have. And if thats the case maybe that was why they were easily wiped out perhaps.

WAIT A DAMN MINUTE......

How come Meeches came extinct in abes oddysee and then
they didn't have a Meechanian Temple?????

Did the meeches roam around the temples like a fleech did?

How come Meech and Fleech rhyme?

Well we don't know if there is any kind of temple or shrine belonging to the Meech. But if anything there probabaly isnt because you can't have a temple for every single creature that walked Oddworld. Paramites and Scrabs are so special because they were the creatures that those paticular Mudokins worshiped in their religion or culture as to what my guess is. Maybe there is a tribe out there who worsiped Meeches as their sacred creature? Who knows. I think if there was then maybe those Mudokin tribes could be abandon and the land of the Meech laid waist to the plundering of the Magog Cartel. There is just so many things we just don't know yet.

***Wil*** · #26 03-04-2003, 04:53 PM

The black sheep of the Necrum family of tribes, the Mudoncho, did indeed worship the Meeches. Since they were practically outcasts, though, I imagine they didn't have a temple (assuming the Mudanchee had their temple built by the Mudomo). However, they are far from wiped out.

Ooh, I love teasing people like this

crack shot · #27 04-27-2003, 05:38 AM

Or maybe Meeches do have a temple but it got destroyed by gullkon land devlopment or in a storm or something?

After reading such an interesting topic, I thought to myself wouldn't it be evil if the creator's didn't tell us the answers!

***Xavier*** · #29 04-27-2003, 06:40 PM

well they won't tell us I think, but they aren't evil you know; they just love misteries

I know they aren't evil but it would be evil if we never found out!
