Whats the name of this creature?

Sorry I have no picture but i describe him. It was some type of enslaved creature. I think it had 2 legs with chains attached to its mouth and its legs, to prevent it from running away. second question, does anybody know if Shrink will make it into Stranger?

Yes, I was about to say the Kinto Slave. Someone will be sure to provide a picture of it to see if that's correct.

Heres is a little bit bigger picture of the Kinto Slave.

These guys I think serve Lady Margret the Gluk Queen. I can't wait to see these guys appear in a game. If anyone can find a bigger picture it will be great. This is from Depths of Oddworld. One of My favorite Oddworld sites.

Small questions like this should be in the Questions and Answers thread. Seeing how you're new, I won't make a big deal, just make sure that any other questions you have are posted in the Q&A.

But you still can't read what the text says

:
"Munch: Kinto Slaves. Kintos were a peaceful race of mountain dwellers. Agile climbers & able to jam their single powerful toe into any crack & able to scale any rock face. Kintos never like anything ove their heads -- nothing -- no tree branches, no shelters, no hats. Maybe this is why they have no discernible heads. They only sleep and live outdoors, under the vast sky. It is only 'natural' that Glukkons would take such a race, enslave them, mostly indoors, & force them to carry heavy loads on their heads & backs."
-- Paul O'Connor, April 2000

Alf: It's hard to say if the Kinto's are intelligent or not, as their paranoia about things looming above their head sort of limits all of their other abilities. It's pretty hard to enslave a race that refuses to work in an area with say, a roof or trees or anything overhead. The Glukkons pretty much abandoned the idea of exploiting them when they found it would take an inkling of effort. But who knows, maybe one day they'll get a burst of motivation and try it again.
WTF is that if it's not ten characters?

You know what would be cool. What if a Kinto Slave became the next unlikely hero in the Quintology? Like Squeek is a Kinto and his story is to sort of to help Abe and Munch shut down Lady Margret's Hall of Larva and help Abe and Munch rescue Sam from the industrial nurserys. And for his own destany to free himself and his kind back into the wild. But not like how Abe and Munch go about their destanys. More like he has to gather all the Kintos and convince them to destroy the industrial stronghold inwhich they are liveing in and to help possably in a assaination attemp on Margret.

That would be a cool idea.

I dunno, I think that'd get boring after a while...think of all the limits you'd have. All you could do is basically walk.

I don't think it will be nice to play
and I don't feel like I want to control a Kinto during a whole game

Plus, Kinto's look like very neutral creatures and playing a character without a wide range of emotions wouldn't make a very good game. But, who knows? Maybe Kintos have great personalities.

What and you think Abe and Munch are very synificant? Besides you wouldn't be controling just a Kinto you will be controling all three. Well imagine if you were controling Abe, Munch and The Kinto and since Kintos can climb up walls and be upside down well that would be simply odd. not to mention your controling a one leged fish that rides around in a wheel chair and a blue schmuck who has bad gas and sneaks around like he is on some kind of drug. Personality is not all what makes Oddworld odd its also the way things move. When we first saw AO on the comercial the first time we saw Abe sneaking. It was soo wierd then we saw Munch which is a one leg thing hopping around Abe and seeing Abe carry Munch aswell as Munch rideing around in a wheel chair. Imagine all those things we saw in the previous games mixed with walking upside down as a Kinto. All I know is every new unlikely hero in the quintology thus far is getting wierder and wierder.

Munch now is odd Abe now seems normal and not as odd as Munch. Whats the next unlikely hero going to be? It gets more and more outragious every time.

By quintology's end we are going to be controling five characters that are very different from each other in their own way. Its getting stranger and stranger.

I'm still wondering whats the *beep beep* creature from one of the inhabitants profiles said. At first i thuoght it was squeek, but now i just dunno. It's gunner be a very cool creature!

EDIT: It's funny, one time me and a friend first played AO. When Abe said "i dunno" we thougth he said "banana"?LOL. it took us a while.

I swear Abe says "Elano." He does!

And PA, controlling a Kinto would be great fun, but so is controlling Paramites and Sligs, which aren't heroes of the quintology. Plus, I doubt OWI would have let us seen the 3rd Quintology hero so early on.

EDIT: I thought about that character a few days ago, Oddish, as I was making my Stranger summary. Could be one of the characters we already know about. *spooky music*

Yeah, the Kinto will probably just be possessable.

That would be fun, but I doubt it'll be a hero since the slavery story would be much too similar to Abe.

Possessing a slave is like raping a homeless person.

It's low, and you just shouldn't do it. Jerks.

We've possessed Sligs and Interns. Mostly, they're little more than slaves.

Yet I get the feeling they enlisted, you know?

I mean, Interns are alleged pill poppers, so why not go 'work' for the Vykkers and have access to free drugs?

And sligs, hell, they get guns and barraks. Kintos get chains and beatings. And the word 'slave' in their title. Not something I'd sign up for, myself.

Does anybody think that the meeches might be introduced into the story a bit more. I mean there is a design sketch, I know that means nothing but still i think it could cross into the story somewhere maybe in the background of one of the next games.

For the hundredth iteration, Meeches are apparently in existance. However, they are in scarce numbers, kept secret some place by the Glukkons.
