That's such a stupid way of looking at it. If the gameplay isn't canonical, then what the fuck is? I don't even really understand your point. Are you saying the game isn't canonical to itself? Besides, we're specifically analysing the integrity of the narrative and you're like "hurr durr or you could stop and realise it's just a game". These games strive to have a cohesive and engaging storyline.

I've always 'justified' that as him having gotten that ability by receiving the scars. Which would make sense in a way. On the other hand, why would he be able to possess some creatures but not others?
Perhaps there’s a baseline of intelligence or brain size required? Over the course of AO/AE/MO Abe can possess every species encountered except:
  • Mudokons, Elum and Munch (which can be justified as Abe not wanting or needing to)
  • Bees, Bats, Fleeches, Slurgs and Fuzzles (all of which are comparable to small bugs or rodents)
