Did the game-designers use the Tremors movies (the two first) for inspiration? Some of the monsters looks that way. The Slogs looks very like the Shrieker from Tremors 2, and the Scrabs and Paramites have very Graboid-like mouths. Plus, none of the monsters have eyes...
shareno, i did a search to try and find you an answer. i already assumed the answer was no, simply because this game came out only a year after tremors 2 and that's really the only one they could've taken anything from. tremors 1 just had the big worms and nothing in oddworld is really similar to that. Tremors 2 was released a month before Oddworld was shown at E3. so, no.
