Oddworld Religions

OK, Muds are very spiritual people, but what do they actually believe in?

Ok since Mudokins most likely worship Shrykull as their god half paramite and scrab which represents certain sacred creatures of wildlife. Theres your answer dude. Its simple they worship all kinds of wildlife. There is no need for a theory on this one because we already know what they worship.

hmmm you are talking about the past mudokons right? Because the actual ones don't care as much about religion as they did in the past.

Well we all know the Mudokons often use a wildlife animal as symbol for their tribe. You can see huge statues of Scrabs, Paramites and Elums in the Mudokon temples.

So like all of you I will say the believe in the nature and in the spirit of each object and they also believe in some gods (like the shrykull).

Happy Mud Religion

Mudokons probably believe in one almighty Odd who is the ultimate being. But to make things "easier" for their simple minds, they break Odd into various "mini-gods" which they worship. There are many of these lesser religious entities and each tribe focuses on on particular "god" or aspect of the great and powerful Odd.

There are no religious texts or laws, just karma which means that you must fulfill your duty in life to be rewarded in the next one.

Very similar to Hindu beliefs.

We are studying India in school right now and the more I think about it, the more that what we know about the mudokon religion seems to fit in with Hinduism.

The shrykull could be similar to Shiva, the Hindu "god" of destruction.

Elements, such as religion, history, folklore, and cultural anthropology, are always contained in Odd-style.
They entertain us.
They make our knowledge rich.
Odd-style is always stimulative.

Um I'm not Chinese so don't take my word for it, but don't they view tigers as sacred in China (similar to the Paramite and Scrab worship with the Mudomo and Mudanchee tribes)? (i know it doesnt really give any real perspective or profound indight on what Mudokon religion could be, but i thought it was an interesting comparison)
