Q: I thought Scrabs were solitary creatures that hated each other; so why are there cinematics on the site in which you see Scrabs in herds?

Alf: The Scrabs you saw in past games were ‘Alpha Scrabs’—rogue males that can't stand the sight of other Alpha Scrabs. Long confinement in stockyards and ancient temples had made them a bit cranky. In Munch's Oddysee, you'll see Scrabs as they live in the wild—with a single Alpha Scrab at the head of a heard of lesser Scrabs. They're still pretty cranky, though.
