Title: Weird creature
Post by: Sindhi on February 02, 2009, 08:27:48 pm
Hey, what is that kinda friendly prehistoric grey curvy-jawed tadpole-tailed guy you can ride on the way to Mithalas city? Does he have a name?

That would be my best friend Ekkrit.

Thanks, Delve. I really like him. Does he do anything special? He's always in a good mood, very playful. I like the mossy-backed turtle on stilts, too; obviously, so does Naija.

@Delve: Excuse me, your best friend Ekkrit? Psh... besides Alec and Derek I was the first one who figured out his name... Psh, best friend...

Oh and the turtle on stilts is I think called a 'Walker'

He likes to dance if you cling to his side.

He can be your best friend too Alpha, I'm not the jealous type.

Hey Alphasoldier,

@Delve: Excuse me, your best friend Ekkrit? Psh... besides Alec and Derek I was the first one who figured out his name.

I am quite certain you were teasing; otherwise you would appear to have an ego the size of Brazil. Delve didn't say he invented the name, he just likes the guy. How can people kill a creature with that smile? I'm quite the Xena warrior Naija most of the time, but if they're smiling, like Ekkrit and the walker, they're safe with me. And yes, Ekkrit is a great dancer.

It was indeed a joke, but I was pointing it out. =p

Haha... one of my friends killed poor Ekkrit immediately upon first seeing him. How sad.  :( Apparently he looks scary...? XD

I put him in the Big Energy Battle mod so you can try to protect him, or finish him off.  >:D

Thank god. I'm not alone!   ^-^ I saw the toothsome Ekkrit chasing Naija in the trailer, and spammed the cute little bastard at first sight.   :o It was only later that I realized he only wanted to play ...  :'(  :)

I attempted to do that, but I failed over and over again. Is there any trick?  :)

How do you get him to go up the current? I've only been able to dance, and he always moves me over to the Mithalas wall and bumps me off when he gets tired of playing. You can't control him like you can the seahorses, can you? If there were some clever way of holding a fish out in front of him as you move up the map.......

Just sit at the bottom of the current and eventually he will nudge you, and just hope that he keeps on nudging you in the right direction.. I tried it once and I was nearly there when he decided that he wanted to go some where else lol

I believe you can sit on his back and be taken up there, if you sit at the right spot, he'll take you up there fairly straight.

If you can get him goin nearly straight up and manage to cling I think right behind his jaw he'll carry you right on up, provided you're close enough.

The first time I did it I literally stood on his nose like a dolphin trainer. That may have been a fluke though (or Alec changed it slightly) because when I tried that in the current version I kept slipping off no matter how I tried.

Wow, I'll give it a shot. Sounds fun. I'm still slogging through Mithalas city; have yet to kill all three blobby laser guys and get to the main boss, but I could pop up and play for a break. Wish I could save in between the blobbies.
