Oddworld Lore: Gloktigi

Hmm what if the standard gloktigi you see abd fight are just younger then armoured gloktigi? If we're sticking to occult themes then maybe armoured glomtigi are like shamans or elders? The older they get the more spikes they get but the weaker the muscles and bones get so they replace it with cybernetics and other replacements? If I remember right sekto has been around for a while so maybe his two personal guards are just two of the older ones that actually survived the last attack on him proving not only themselves but their species so he "healed" them and decided to add more to the ranks?

I think it would be interesting if the octigi race was innately connected to advancement and greed, as though it was their nature, and as such they still had access to their magic because despite being industrialists everything is still well within the root of their nature as beings, so they would fill a universal role as a negative to balance out positives.

Pub Benny I urge you to keep doing content on oddworld I promise you that you are probably the sole survivor that's keeping this franchise still up-to-date. I have gotten multiple of my friends into odd world because of you and I hope that you continue to produce more content on oddworld and if not create content on oddworld. I look forward to more lore videos and if not theory videos on oddworld. Thank you,
Sincerely- A Glukkon

My guess with the horns that they are shown with, outside of the game logic of this is the final form of the enemy you’re fighting, would most likely have to do with the occult magic used in their development and evolution. If that business deal bit is taken as seriously and not a joke, you can easily say they’re making deals with whatever higher power they commune with to create them.

Actually having just watched your queen lore video again I wonder if these investors might be a dark power they commune with.

Just finished Stranger's Wrath and I definitely did not expect to see that thing after opening a door 😅

I hate how I can't find a video about soulstorm with both mudokons not dying and having all platinum badges.

Yay you uploaded again!

Can you do one about how old is abe and Toby and ralft

Sexy legs.

“Cutting open Mudokens and spreading their organs to get stock forecasts.”

Well that’s one way to do Insider Trading I guess

Pubenny returns? we are so back!

Even despite his industrialized atheism, his mystical nature is still present but much more depraved to the sadistic masochistic vision of worldly sinful pleasures. Imagine a cult in the style of conspiracy theory of xenovite parasites!
And think about the historical relationship with the hypocrisy of dogma, the ramification of clandestine cults and the genealogical arrangement of power...Cant wait to see them back in the Next Soulstorm!!

I bet blue ringed death that those business deals involved questionable citrus related get-together-s with demonic entities, & then have the abominable eggs that were conceived & fertilized from the process be genetically mutate via psychic radiation in vyker facilities.

Oh, I remember these spindly little... I hated them with a passion. Especially in the end fight against Sekto, where you fight two at once

Man I missed these Oddworld lore videos.

i think i know what you mean about the cool factor of using mystical rituals as parts of business deals. its two very disparate aesthetics coming together in a novel way which i think adds to the intended "wrongness of it all". i think you could fairly say that capitalism is the glukkon religion so its cool to see this idea called back to with how glukkons are willing to pervert spirituality in the name of profit. unless for glukkon, profit IS spirituality? and making gloktigi is seen as doing a sort of holy business?

Do you think those metal pipes on the armored one’s back are quite possibly the handles for sheathed dual swords? Itd keep the theme of the knives of the unarmored ones and show a “progression”

I can't help but feel like the Octigi would want to achieve a monopoly on all magic in the world, replacing it with their own industrial technology for profit and control of the populous.

they might have been created through something akin to a demonic ritual which could be seen as a business deal

Im surprised that you didn't mention the Hellraiser reference. They are demonic squid beasts, of course the are going to be covered in leather and have knives stuck into them. All they need is a magic puzzle box and their set.

The best Oddworld lore creator is back 😁

on the ancient bussiness deal that's also apart of occultism often times you need to make deals with forces in question and be very specific in what you offer and etiquette so yeah that works perfect

I remember the first time i played stranger wrsth and it appeared 🎉 and slammed my shizzz back inside me several times... i was also very young 😂😂

Seems like the Octigi family are inspired a lot by the illuminati

is this a reupload?, i swear i have watched this before

Smash. Next question

They remind me of hunters form hl2e2 and what the combine would make

Glock tea Guy killed me. I work at a gun shop so I will now be pushing customers who buy glocks to buy tea so I can use that phrase more.

I’m still convinced the big bad guys of the series like top dog is the Oktigi. Sekto is one of many, they seem like the top of the line like the Enclave from Fallout.

These creatures remind me of DnD Mind Flayers, creepy Squid things….yuck.
When I first saw them in game I freaked out and was like Nope! lol

Glocktigi seem like they’re mainly used as enforcers and bodyguards for their much smaller brethren. All I know is I wouldn’t wanna encounter them in a dark alley.

i always liked to imagine the glukk-races like ants back in the day.
The glukkons the workers, the ti-gis the warriors and the queen.. Well, as the queen :D

Having flashbacks to fighting the 2 Gloktigi at the end of the Dam...

That whole timed section can deepthroat a cacti! That drove me insane.

Glad I’m not the only one who’s making videos on this game

🐙+🤖

The Gloktigi remind me a bit of the Vykkers and their relationship with the Interns or the Glukkons and Sligs, acting as hired muscle for their corporate masters. They even have their own ranks and outfits seemingly, a bit like the various variants of Slig? Something that will hopefully be expanded upon in future games, I wonder if more Octigi and Gloktigi will be shown? They seem like they'd be fun to possess with Abe, though maybe being Occult enemies they're immune to that?

An abe/ odd world movie that would be interesting

I interpret the Armored Gloktigi's "metal backpacks with pipes" as sheathed machetes or kukris. As the normal Gloktigi have a set of knives strapped to their back and throwing darts around their forearms, it would make sense for their superior variants to continue and upgrade the visual motif.

YEAH BABY Oddworld returns

wow, ruthless bastards spam spin attaks like a mf

very interesting to hear that powerful people in the New York art scene practice occultism. People scoffed when that sort of thing was mentioned during second to last election cycle

Mating or "Making a deal" by cephalopods requires a handshake of the mating-arms by the pair, to trade genetic msterial: that might mean Glocktigi are females, Gluckons are males and their water-nymphs are there.

The king of Oddworld lore has returned, ladies and gentleglukkon!

The mkog cartel symbol reminds me of a simplified corea tripod

I always imagined the Gloktigi were failed Glukkons that the Vykkers were given to experiment on…but now I can add super natural experiments to that as well.

They kind of resemble the vikers

BUSINESS DEAL = transaction with some form of evil spirits, think evil wierdos but for gluks

The Gloktigi are certainly one of the most fascinating creatures on Oddworld, what with how they they provide us with a subtle glimpse of the occultism of the Glukkons and the Magog Cartel. And fighting them is one of the funnest and most unexpected parts of the game. :)
