Description[]
The Meetle is a large herbivorous arthropod native to Eastern Mudos. They were meant to have a more prominent role in the game Munch's Oddysee and its unreleased spin-off Hand of Odd, but ended up being removed due to complications in both games developments.
Meetles are a native species typically used by Mudokons as beasts of burden, being capable of lifting and pulling large objects, far too heavy for a Mudokon. Industrialists would have also utilized the Meetle. Through selective breeding and choice alterations of the Meetle's diet (feeding them meat) Industrialists were able to turn gentle Meetle larvae into aggressive Mugs. Mugs often being used as fearsome guards for many Industrial factories.
Biology[]
The Meetle are large dome-shaped arthropods. They possess eight legs and a large vertical slit-like mouth with two blunt fang structures near the base. They have a set of four large mammalian-like eyes that appear to close sideways. Their large carapace hides a pair of fine fly-like wings. The larvae of the Meetle are smaller and have fleshy pink skin with yellow spots along their backs. They have a set of four smaller blue eyes and possess only six legs. Atop their heads they have a lone feathery tendril akin to an elephants trunk.
