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.
