Gabbit

Overview
Gabbits are short, monopodal, amphibious creatures that once widely inhabited the waters of Oddworld.

Anatomy and Physiology
The Gabbit boasts a large head with enormous eyes, a small round torso, and two short skinny arms ending in three-fingered hands. Their hind limbs have fused into a singular leg with a webbed, frog-like foot used for swimming in water and hopping about on land. Their nostrils rise high up on their face to quickly draw in air when surfacing, and four diamond-shaped protuberances jutting out of there temples, reminiscent of the gills of Axolotls and Mud-puppies.

Gabbits once freely swam throughout the oceans in abundance. However, industrial powers such as the Vykkers Conglomerate have since hunted them enable to obtain a wide selection of organic commodities. Gabbit eggs, known as Gabbiar, is considered to be a delicacy among-st many of Oddworld's elite. Furthermore, Gabbit's are also hunted for their lungs due to their advanced medical application. Currently, Latamire Munch was the last known remaining Gabbit known on Oddworld during the course of Munch's Oddysee. The last can of Gabbiar eggs, however, was being held by Vykker's Labs to sell to the highest bidder, before Munch retrieved them after tricking a moneyed Lulu into purchasing them during an auction. He was due to visit a venerable area known as Ma Spa in order to fertilize the eggs, though whether he was successful remains unknown due to the cancellation of Munch's Exoddus.

Gabbits are extremely social creatures who speak to each other via high-pitched musical squeaks and whistles, produced by their flute-like tongues. Gabbits are also very playful and friendly creatures who enjoy a simple life of swimming or aquatic acrobatics, unburdened by technology. Gabbits are also remarkably intelligent, being one of the few non-civilized species on Mudos that are capable of speech. Gabbits swim together in family groupings called "pods" and eat mostly Worry Fish. Young Gabbits, or "Gabbiwogs" begin life in Ma'Spa, the source of the Mongo River. They gradually develop and grow, and then retreat to the Spawning Springs to develop lungs and mature into fully grown Gabbits, after which they take to the oceans.
