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 Outlaws are a group of races native to Western Mudos that doesn't fit into either the industrialist or native lifestyles. The one definite thing that they all seem to have in common is their unwillingness to abide by the law. They loot, plunder, and steal for a living while using intimidation or violence to get away with it. They mainly prey on the weak Clakker race by simply hijacking abandoned or occupied facilities, as well as destroying and looting their caravans.

Race[]

The outlaws, while a gang faction, also are a generic classification for several different creatures. Most outlaws have a sly and tough look, while their skin is usually gray or light green. Outlaws usually have hair, but rarely have it on their faces. Living life away from civilized people gives them a rugged barbaric speech and attitude. Supposedly, there are five-or-more species within the outlaws, appearing in Western Mudos. Despite the physical differences, it's believed outlaws can interbreed with outlaws of a different species, much like dog breeds can interbreed and create unique dog types.

Five subspecies are seen within the game:

  1. A vaguely sluglike subspecies includes Blisterz Booty and Flint "Explosives" McGee. These have no Minion variants.
  2. A stumpy, stocky subspecies that includes Filthy Hands Floyd and Packrat Palooka. Non-leaders include Outlaw Minion cutters, mortars, bombers, and semi-autos.
  3. A subspecies similar to the above, but with taller heads. Includes Meagly McGraw and Lefty Lugnutz. Enemy members include Outlaw Minion shooters and snipers.
  4. A tall, small-headed variant that includes The Looten Duke and D. Caste Raider. No Minion variants are known.
  5. A tall, muscular variant is similar to 3 that includes Jo' Mamma and Elboze Freely. Non-leaders include Outlaw Minion nailers, flamers, and Tiny.

Faction[]

This loose coalition of races exist outside the parameters of lawful society as understood by either Industrialist or Native beings, and instead get by by preying on both. Their most common tactic is extortion, either through kidnapping or occupation, but they have been known to outright attack settlements or convoys if there are enough of them. Occasionally, some semi-friendly outlaws can be found in towns, usually in bars spending their stolen Moolah on drinks. Outlaws are organized into gangs, each controlling various territories and all answering to one gang leader, though often gangs will cooperate with each other to achieve a larger goal. Outlaw gangs are also very nomadic - likely because hanging around one area too long will result in heat - and will move their base of operations whenever it suits them. A female outlaw can have a lot more young than a normal human would without seeming to suffer serious health problems (as evidenced by Jo Mamma and her large group).

Their favored habitats are the scrapyards and derelicts left behind by Industrialists, and as a result weaker, Moolah-rich Industrialist races such as the Clakkers are their usual targets. However, at times of need Industrialists will seek to employ them as mercenaries, a role at which they are at least as effective as Sligs. Indeed, given their physical similarities, it is a fair assumption that the Wolvarks were once just another Outlaw race before Sekto offered them steady pay, good guns and slapped a uniform on them.

Notable Outlaws[]

Technology[]

The Outlaws use a range of technologies in their unlawful schemes. Asides from the weaponry they buy from retailers or construct themselves, they are known to enjoy operating heavy machinery such as cranes, forklifts, bulldozers, and pile drivers. They likely derive this technology by salvaging the junkyards and ruins they invariably occupy. Their facilities use the same lifts and mine carts that Clakkers use, or the same activator panels that both Clakkers and Wolvarks use. Some Outlaw types, typically Semi Auto and Flamethrowers, have large parts of their body removed and replaced with machinery. Packrat Palooka is known to do this to produce his premier henchmen, while Elboze Freely seems to be a fully-functioning cyborg.
