Nothing really says that the Mutant in the old beta images actually are Umbranoids though.
Some of the critters were simply never implemented.

Umbranoids have evolved a great deal from PE into EU. Looking back I would think they share roots with the weapon wielding mutants shown in the Beta Screenies but you are right there is nothing specific about it.

Remember when the ATH list was populated with ??? as the description lol everytime I used to find a mob labelled ??? I thought I was in store for some decent loot lol ahhh but I digress just reminiscing a bit.

I'm not saying you're wrong Sirhc. You might in fact be quite right. And the yes, they sure have evolved - loosing the 3rd eye for a start...

I still remember the first time I ever saw an umbranoid back in 2003. I bought some ammo from the TT and carried my trusty Solomate Busho (also from the TT) out to the area north of Orthos. It took me forever to kill one with no armor, fap, or amp on the gun. I had figured I would loot a set of clothes and a knife, but alas, all I got was some pecs and #$%&ing wool. The funny part is that this encounter was so disheartening that it set me on the path to be a trader for 1-2 years... Had I stuck with hunting during that time, who knows where I would be.

It looks like the orbs are floating over burning cities with what I originally thought were people running but now looking at it closer it looks like they are creature with piercing white eyes and huge maws with big rows of teeth. At first I thought it was a representation of an Argo but I don't think they are black with glowing white eyes. Maybe the orbs will mutate them further.

hmmmmm

Maybe the Argos are like the guy in the TV show Heroes who can paint the future and this is what they see.

maybe it is argos and they will be wiped out!! thats why they spawn close to the orbs, they are there to destroy them, and they take their best soldiers with them ( elite) and those funny looking big fokkers.

Looted my first bit of paper in 2 weeks solid argo hunting last night...

Wonder if they signify another impending umbra attack at the orbs?

Interesting to Note
