Sorry Dipstikk. I was going to answer this but I forgot because I had to leave. There are many theories about the history between glukkons and mudokons. But this is the most popular one, grounded in most official information.


Many years ago the mudokon tribes were the one of the most powerful species on Mudos. Or they would be if they weren't constantly involved in war with other races and themselves. Although the mudokon ways were generally peaceful, conflicts did arise in which the warriors needed to go to battle. At about this time the mudokons were well know for giving aid to "lesser" species in many different areas. This time was known as the mudokon Advisor Era. They helped other races plan their battles, political plans and economies.

Also about this time, the glukkons were going through their Alchemy Age. Many races on Mudos were very religious, steeped in superstitions and spiritual matters. The glukkons were no exception, although they tended to take a more scientific approach to things. There was a belief that the Chosen Race of Oddworld, who would bring about great changes, would have their handprint marked on one of the many moons. The glukkons wished to be this race and so they began to dabble in genetics. They felt extreme contempt for the mudokons, who believed they were already the Chosen Race. The glukkons wished to learn how alter their hands to match the mark that would appear on the moon.

What happened next is not as clear. The glukkons experienced a great disaster but recovered and became the cynical, economy based race they are today. The Magog Cartel was formed and with the help of the vykkers, and likely a deal with the khanzumerz, the glukkons managed to slowly take over Mudos. They eventually enslaved the mudokon race, who had forgotten their rich culture over time and where caught unprepared by the glukkons. With the mudokons as their slaves and the economy of Mudos in their control, the glukkons beleived that they had become the true rulers of Oddworld. Prophecy or no prophecy.


I know that didn't help much but hopefully others can add to and correct it. Basically the mudokons were all high and mighty and treated the glukkons like dirt so the the glukkons strategically managed to take dominance from the mudokon jerks.
