He will possess lots of charisma and a gun. At least that's what I hope.

hehehe. Why does Squeek have to possess anything? Not all creatures possess stuff. Remember Munch can only possess stuff due to the Vykker's experiments on him.

I bet squeek will have a different power from possessing. Maybe, if he is a little mouse or a bat, when he gets really mad he gets larger...and meaner...I dont know..just a though.

Like when he gets mad enough his adrenaline goes through the roof and he gets huge and mean/mad.

Possess plants? No offence but I think that would be REALLY boring! What would you do when you possess a plant? Grow? Reproduce asexually? I think not. Unless plants exist resembling huge unusually active Venus Flytraps or something like on TV. Then, maybe, I could approve of the idea.

Possessing plants... kinda conjures up memories of two cult movies - Little Shop of Horrors and Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!

Little Shop of Horror has a huge Man Eating Plant in it... as for Attack of the Killer Tomatoes... need I say more!!!

But if plants were possesed... you wouldn't be looking at whimpy things like flowers and shrubs... you'd need to possess vines and stuff like that that can be used for strangling.

And knowing Oddworld... well I'm sure they are to have some rather unique and unusual plant varieties out there!

Abe Babe...

i know that movie it had that huge venus fly trap that was owned by this guy, and the guy fed it his blood and then it got huge. So the guy fed it people or something like that. Its ancient history.

ANYHOOO i think squeek should possess plants then he could make the grass grow alot and then all the grass will tie around the sligs and the sligs will all die because they cant survive because they are trapped by the rapidly growing grass and they DIE....BWOAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

i don't think squeek will have any powers in the first half [the bit where he/she escapes from wherever he/she is kept], but will go on some kind of quest in the middle, like abe did to get the shrykull power. he/she will then return to where he/she works, and KICK SOME ASS!

Abe had powers when escaping Rupture farms - before he got his Shrykull ability, he could possess sligs before he went on his quest to become Shrykull.

Good thinking AbeBabe... but I don't think we'll possess plants without seeing them in a game first. And we haven't heard anything about plants in MO yet.

Why does squeek have to possess anything. He could be friggen slig for all we know.

If possession is the main deal of oddworld it will be wars man, but i think the plant possessors will win

While OWI haven't actaully said anything about plants yet, we do know that there are palm trees, fir trees, grass, tomatoes, lettuce, gherkins, leanders, various mosses and, of course, humshrubs on Oddworld

I think it would be cool if he could posess plants. A bunch of muds are chained up and about to get shot when all of a sudden, a tree blows through the wall and falls on the sligs.

What if abe, or munch ran into another creature that can potentially possess them!
imagine, a battle of chanting. Wouldn't that be great, and if abe or munch got possessed, what would they be able to do to get the other's creature's spirit out?
by the way, is abe the only mudokon that can possess other creatures?

other mudokons have less powers than abe. it takes about 10 normal mudokons to possess something.

abe has special powers, what with being the saviour and all.

Well let's see... at the end of Abe's Oddysee it takes 100 mudokons,including Bigface to kill a Glukkon and a Slig (actually it seems they didn't even kill Mollock)... but Abe can do this by himself, so he's pretty damn powerful compared to the others.

I wouldn't have thought the 99 Mudokons Abe rescued would have been able to chant, or at least straight away. Remember there's quite a few Native Mudokons already, and that's just in the Monsaic Caves.

I don't think Abe strted escaping from RuptureFarms with the knowledge of being able to possess Sligs. Certainly he wouldn't have had the manual to tell him, so he could just have read it from an LED screen (why the Glukkons allow the placement of clue screens, bird portals and maps is beyond me - notice how all maps are for Mudokons, but there aren't any directories for Sligs or Glukkons? Tsk...).
Anyway, at least that problem's solved in Munch's Oddysee.

i never counted those mudokons. i never made that connection. i assumed that if you don't rescue enough, they don't want to rescue you, not that they can't.

il iked the led signs because it taught you how to play the game as you went along. instead of having to learn it from the manual like most games do.

so there is no way someone can beat abe spiritually? as rettick says, the mudokons decided not to help abe, but they could have, right? i wonder why if together they have so much power, they send only one mudokon to this kind of missions. Though Molluck didn't die, that's true....

what about BigFace? why isn't he the saviour of mudokons? Maybe he was, and after his job was done and mudokons fell again in slavery, Abe was born and BigFace thaught him how to save the mudokons' race
