Fleeches are scary................

[Melvin:squeeking paramite]

I think the most horrible and evil thing that Abe confronts are fleeches.They wake up and chase Abe and hit him with ther tongues and then slurp him up.MY GOD!!!!!JUST LOOK AT THE PICTURE TO THE LEFT!!!!!Pure and sinister evil...anybody agree?And how do they eat him?It defies the law of physics!Give me a reason why they aren't SCARY!(ALL FLEECHES MUST DIE.no offence to good fleeches)eeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

[Osiris The Fleech]

Fleeches Rock!!! How could you say that they must die?

[Melvin:squeeking paramite]

sorry bout that.I was going into hysterics and convulsions at the time.I still think they're really freaky and should stay away from Abe.If you like fleeches so much, what oddworld character do you dislike running into.

[Pacen]

I don't like running into Paramites because I like them and I don't want to have to kill them.

Also, how do Fleeches defy the laws of Physics? Which law?

[Melvin:squeeking paramite]

They defie the laws of physics because they eat Abe whole!that's impossible.(I know its oddworld, but STILL.)

[Sl'askia]

there is a creature that can swallow things whole like that in our world, there called snakes

[Melvin:squeeking paramite]

I know, but fleeches are teeny little things.

[Dakkan Blackblade]

It's cool, It's fun, It's SCIENCE! That's off a cool show I watch in the afternoon after classes. It's called Bill Nye! That is to cool!

[Sal the Mudokon]

I always figured that they had a super strong stomach acid and extremely sticky tounges. then the awfoul is so tender from mixture with thousands of bursts of acid is fed to the slurgs, which have no need to have bodies any tenderer than their food.

Okay, maybe I watched a lot of Bill Nye the Science Guy after school too, but what else does PBS have? Nova?!

[Pacen]

If it weren't for an article at theonion.com I would have no idea who this Bill Nye guy is as I live in Australia. It's pretty funny, especially for those who know who he is. Here's the link: here

fleeches apparently have very strong jaws, maybe they don't just swallow, they compact everything..
Bill Nye??? who's him?

[Melvin:squeeking paramite]

Bill Nye (no offence to his fans)is some idiot who tries to make science fun(and fails miserably)but when it comes down to it hes just some guy who wants to make a buck yelling alot.Hey, I like science but that guys lame!I guess his shows on t.v some time
(I thought they cancelled it)Any way, enough
about him and more about fleeches and other evil things.

[Osiris The Fleech]

I have a theory. I think maybe fleeches have to soften their prey with their tounge. After that they crush the tenderised meat with their already powerful jaws.

[Cloverfield]

They seem to have the same capabilities of those man eating snakes (I can't remember the name for them)... that can eat a fully grown animal (like the size of a cow) in one gulp. They then store the carcass inside their bodies until it is digested.

Fleeches seem like that... except of course the digestion is hugely accelerated.

Abe Babe...

[ODDBODD]

I hate fleeches, they give mke the zoinks, thats why i hate necrum. Well anyhoo here is my theory on fleeches.

-----------evil theory mood swing---------
okay well the fleeches are invertabrae creatures. So they depend on a moderately hard skin. that skin (and organs) is expandable so they only have to get the enemy down the troat. that part is simple to, the fleech has a chemical substance that replaces saliva. They use this acid as well as their tounge to weaken the victem. So even a simple scrab can be sucked up by this beast. The acid is very powewrful and the acid inside its digestive organs are much more powerful. The victem gets burned and melted straight away by the acid that it takes a few seconds for the victem to be shrivelled up. And the ocasional burp tops it up!

[Melvin:squeeking paramite]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!See?ODDBODD agrees with me. He thinks fleeches are horrid too.I TRIUMPH!
Anyway some of these theorys are really good. I still don't know about fleeches swallowing Abe.Neh.

[ODDBODD]

They bloody piss me off, and that evil music comes on when you see them. *shudders*

well if a fleech can eat a scrab, abe will be a mint

[Melvin:squeeking paramite]

I'm gonna shudder at fleeches with ODDBODD!
*shudders*

[Dark_Whitty_666]

How can you people say nasty things about fleeches, they are so cute. id love my own pet fleech to love and hug.

i wonder if anybody ever does come back to these old forums

[Melvin:squeeking paramite]

Ack, you brought this back? Ick, this is one of my first posts... yuck, this brings bad memories... *shudders at topic instead of fleeches...*

*still thinks fleeches are quite scary, but cool creatures...*

[Majic]

dude dark, dont bring stuff like this back up. they arent posted on for a reason, so its like not good......

[Gabriel]

Fleeches are annoyng, but they DO NOT defy laws of physic. For an example, many species who live kilometres deep in the sea, they can devour a prey which is larger then themselves! And that's true btw.

lets all just shudder at the damn fleeches..

[Shrykullmaster]

i think fleeches are 1 of the best things OWI put in oddworld. it makes the game more challenging and action packed

[MunchOnThis]

So fleeches are scaryare they?Without 'em A.E whouldn't be challaging coz1)fleeches can climb up in whic Scrabs and paramite can't right? and (2)they're pretty cool!Like Osris The Fleech says fleeches ROCK! So they won't die!

[angry slig]

I dont like fleeches because they are scary and make the game too hard for me, even though i have beat the levels with them. I would only like them if abe could posses them *** good idea for ME***
