These little red-orange-pink-spotted balls in the ground are
humshrubs, a kind of plant of fungus full of
spooce, the "currency" used by native people of Oddworld to gain spiritual power and run facilities and vehicles.

Note the number
12 above Munch's head. It tells how many humshrubs he collected so far.

The same here, note again the number

The possession feature in Munch's Oddysee remains a big secret, since we haven't seen any picture or movie with Abe possessing any creature. What we have seen so far is a possessed Big Bro Slig in the BBS video.
I think that probably the possesion will be very intuitive, in a way that you will be able to know very easily who can you posses and who can you not.
I say that taking in account the Smart Camera movement that maybe will fit Abe and the creature you are tryig to possess exactly in the same screen.
It was mentioned a while back the Abe will create a "possessin ball" that will be able to be carried to longer distances, just like he did with the "possessed fart" in Abe's Exoddus.
If it is true, this picture could be an example of that "possession ball" seeking for it next victim, in this case a Glukkon:

Here goes a suggestion: the next video footage released by OWI should bring a possesion sequence.
