Pokeypine
A Pokeypine is a creature that was designed for Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath as a type of Live Ammo.
According to Wil Bunce-Edwards, the Pokeypine was dropped early in development and was usually refered to as ‘porcupine’ in filenames and art. There is only a single reference to it as a ‘Pokeypine’, suggesting it wouldn't necessarily have been its final name.[1]
Appearances
A concept sketch, a render of a 3D model, and a cartoon icon of a Pokeypine appear in one of the unlockable images in Stranger's Wrath HD for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita.[2][3] They show the Pokeypine as a brown, ball-shaped creature with no limbs, two large eyes in front, a small, triangular nose, and between 12 and 24 long, sharp spines. The spines are dark brown in the 3D model and red-orange in the cartoon icon. Its eyes have a green iris in the 3D model and red-orange in the cartoon icon.
The cartoon icon was used as Wil's avatar on the Oddworld Forums for a while.[1] In , Wil posted on the Oddworld Forums Discord a page of concept art for the porcupine by Silvio Aebischer dated .[4]
