Oddworld Wiki

Hi! Welcome to the Oddworld Fandom Wiki!

Recently OWI has began to publish posts on their Twitter citing articles from this site, along with content that heavily implies that the wiki is in some way official or sanctioned.

We'd like to dispel this rumor now: The Fandom Wiki is 100% community run and has in fact been long plagued by information of dubious validity, despite the valiant efforts of its editors (whose job we really appreciate, keep up the good fight!). For this reason, we'd like to ask our readers to take everything here with a great chunk of salt, especially when it comes to content without valid citations.

If you wish to fight against misinformation, you're encouraged to contribute high-quality content to the wiki—that is content that's propped up by a trusted source (examples include: Oddworld.com, Magog on the March, or The Oddworld Library) and contain no headcanons, theorizing, or any further content not directly coming from Oddworld Inhabitants.

Thank you for your attention and understanding! Happy reading and editing!

Possession is the ability that Abe uses to control other beings, whether natural or industrialist.

Abe's Oddysee & Abe's Exoddus

New-n-tasty-possess

A slig being possessed by Abe.

When Abe was possessing a creature, the chant would automatically hone in on the target. When you de-possess a Slig (and occasionally slogs), the creature would explode. (in the case of Lulu in the Good Ending of Munch's Oddysee, he left him alive because it would arouse suspicion) When you de-possess anything else, it merely goes back to its usual habits. (partly because Paramites and Scrabs are sacred animals)

Munch's Oddysee

Abe creates a possession orb through spooce, which you manually direct towards the enemy you wish to control, though they're incapable of jumping. Gamespeak Commands for Possessed Enemies this time around are more so insults to other enemies, that'll get them to attack. Munch also has the ability to possess machinery such as cranes and snoozers. The Possession Orb was used as a solution to handle the Possess Ability in a 3D Environment, after the developer's failed to have it work like the Previous Games.[1] Abe is not able to use the orb until he unites with Munch in the 7th level.
