Oddworld Wiki

Hi! Welcome to the Oddworld Fandom Wiki!

Recently OWI has began to publish posts on their Twitter citing articles from this site, along with content that heavily implies that the wiki is in some way official or sanctioned.

We'd like to dispel this rumor now: The Fandom Wiki is 100% community run and has in fact been long plagued by information of dubious validity, despite the valiant efforts of its editors (whose job we really appreciate, keep up the good fight!). For this reason, we'd like to ask our readers to take everything here with a great chunk of salt, especially when it comes to content without valid citations.

If you wish to fight against misinformation, you're encouraged to contribute high-quality content to the wiki—that is content that's propped up by a trusted source (examples include: Oddworld.com, Magog on the March, or The Oddworld Library) and contain no headcanons, theorizing, or any further content not directly coming from Oddworld Inhabitants.

Thank you for your attention and understanding! Happy reading and editing!

The Gloktigi are large, artificial life forms that were created as a result of hybridization of the Oktigi and Glukkon species through a combination of alchemy and genetic engineering. Although they're wholly unnatural beings, they are members of the Octigi family. The Oktigi named Mr. Sekto used two cybernetically enhanced Gloktigi in a failed attempt to defeat the Stranger in Stranger's Wrath.

Anatomy and Physiology[]

The Gloktigi are large, slate gray-skinned creatures that are known to inhabit various aquatic locations in Oddworld (most notably Western Mudos). Much like Glukkons, they possess vestigial legs and hypertrophied arms, but differ in that they walk on six (three per hand) huge claw-tipped fingers in an insect-like fashion. These claws also double as weapons, which they use to skewer their foes. The actual torso of the Gloktigi is extraordinarily tiny, and the head takes up a majority of the Gloktigi's body mass. The head of the Gloktigi consists of a large sack-like mantle with a small curled tail-like appendage, a small pair of ruby/crimson eyes, as well as six tentacle-like mandibles protruding from its mouth. The Gloktigi, as well as every known member of the Octigi family, possess large cephalopod-like mantles on their heads that contain a majority of their vital organs along with their fairly massive brains. The physical immensity of their brains displays their mental prowess above other life forms that they encounter.

Mannerisms[]

They are able to spit out a green, luminous web capable of wrapping itself around a target like a Bolamite, before climbing onto the victim and impaling them with its large claws. Gloktigi can also use a transversal power to shift across the world in a spectral form much like a ghost.

Trivia[]

  • Even a Scrab will run for its life if it met a Gloktigi.
  • While information involving how Gloktigi are created in universe is left vague, Lorne Lanning states during an interview that they have their origins in occult rituals, like demons or genies.[1]
