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!

Necrum SS 1

A pair of rocksaws used to enlarge a mineshaft

Industrial Rocksaws[1] are a type of bucket wheel excavator seen throughout mining facilities on Mudos. They were invented by Vykkers[1] for use in the Sorrow Valley Mines, and later used in Necrum. They appear as deadly hazards in Oddworld: Soulstorm.

Description[]

Most rocksaws take the appearance of two sets of three bucket wheels held on opposite ends of an axis. However, heavier equipment can take on a number of appearances, including versions with only one set of wheels, to a colossal designs using wheels with a diameter over ten times the height of a Mudokon.

Vykker Rocksaw Blueprint

The first design of the rocksaw was prototyped in Vykker's Labs, and they still keep the early designs on hand in case they need lethal hazards for other experiments.
