Yes, but the Raisin was neither wise nor remotely mentory. And its a fucking raisin thing. I mean come on.

Isn't he supposed to be a seed creature or used to be a tree or something? But yes it did throw me off as well when I first played MO that they suddenly seek advice from a giant dried fruit.
Though as an ancient seed or tree type thing, it would make sense as a mentor. He would be far more in tune with nature and know how oddworld used to be eons ago first hand. If they gave a bit of back story to him like how Abe and co found him or how his race is also going extinct, if his races extinction effects the eco system or at least quickly explain what he is exactly. I think he could have been alright. Instead
Here's a raisin, pbbt! He is wise and de mudokons seek his advice now.
Then it may have been funnier when he did the whole falling asleep when he doesn't finish an important instruction or wise limerick-thing.
But I understand that soooo much was cut in MO and that's a shame.
