Oddworld Fan Species - Tumblr Posts

I love this idea! Brood parasites are interesting. I imagine in the tribes where this happens there being also curious measures taken against it, little things like cover the eggs in certain furs or draw certain symbols on with specific spices/pigments, and maybe even to avoid laying eggs in specific dates and seasons. That would make it sound more like superstition to industrialists when it could actually be because these fursare from animals the creatures are afraid of, compounds they are allergic to and the conditions in which this species lays eggs, making it all true and foolishly dismissed.

And so do these creatures once grown attack the Mudokons / are attacked by them or are they simply raised by them? Like huh I guess I got one more mouth to feed now :/

Oddworld species idea: creature whose mothers lay their eggs among Mudokon egg clutches like how Cuckoos and other parasitic birds lay thier eggs in bird nests. the young superficially resemble Mudokons in their baby/adolescent/teenage stage until adulthood where they metamorphisize into a far larger, stronger and more messed up looking creature.

Phil would eat the outsiders but momma Mudokon said he needs to be a nice boy.
