Awww, I was thinking I might have to relinquish my Oddworld Encyclopaedia title because everyone knew pretty much everything I did. I think I'll hang onto it a while longer, though.
What you describe, AWWW, is Sam's likeness. It's the only realisation of her in MO, even though she was supposed to be a character - Abe was going to rescue her from Vykkers Labs.
There is information on Skillya on Oddworld.com, but I think like the article on The Shrink, they streamlined this information, so some of it might be missing now.
Info on I, Aslik and the rift between the Glukkons and Mudokons comes from the old Oddworld.com. Search the Forums for ‘Aslik’ and ‘autobiography’ and find a thread about games that are played on Oddworld. The info is in there.
Search GD for ‘map’ and read the topics from the earliest to the latest. Also check out all the Daily Deceptions available on Oddworld.com, plus my own Fan of the Month profile on there, but if you do that, ignore that hideous picture.
Simply put, Abe's Moon formed by a meteor shower strike on an Oddworld moon. A sequence depicting this was set to be included in Abe's Exoddus, but wasn't. One possible reason it was removed: In an interview with the Exoddus Club after the release of AE, Lorne said that we would never find out how the moons formed, and it would always be a mystery. Evidently he changed his mind by telling Abe Babe and Pilot when they visited the studios, and it caused quite a rucus when the two relayed the story to us. I was adiment Lorne had already told us the truth.
