What really solidified Sekto's status as my favorite Oddworld villain is that sinister voice. Deep, menacing, and I think I detected a slight Spanish accent. I wonder: as a small parasite, is that his own voice, or is that Sekto manipulating the Old Steef's vocal chords? It was certainly a deep enough voice to be a Steef...
By the way, I'm a bit surprised at how the Octigi and Gloktigi appeared in this game. As far as I know, Stranger was not one of the original characters, and his story was recently invented as part of Lorne's quest to reinvent Oddworld after the lukewarm Munch reception. Are the Oddworld Inhabitants constantly inventing new species and creatures, and then find a game for them to appear in afterwards? Or, were Sekto and his pets planned as enemies for Abe and Munch?
