Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee - Plot

Plot

Taking place after the events of Abe's Exoddus, the story begins with a froglike Gabbit named Munch, searching for others of his kind. Munch continually uses a form of echolocation to call for fellow Gabbits, reminiscing about friendlier times before many of his friends were commercially fished to near-extinction in large nets. Unfortunately, owing to the delicacy of Gabbit eggs, known as "Gabbiar" (a parody of caviar) and the suitability of Gabbit lungs to replace those of the chain-smoking, dominant-species Glukkons, he is the last of his kind. While looking on a lonely shore, he is caught by an animal trap (having mistaken the sonar sounds it emitted for his kind's own echolocation) and taken by two Vykkers, named Humphrey and Irwin, to their massive hovering base of operations, Vykkers Labs.

There, Humphrey implants a sparking sonar device in Munch's head, though Irwin is more interested in the value of the Gabbit's lungs. Humphrey then explains to Irwin his "flawless" plan to use Munch as a slave to gather trapped animals for them, allowing them more time for research and saving more Moolah (the currency of the Industrialists) as well. The plan backfires: when the two Vykkers leave, Munch discovers he can use the electrical properties of his new implant to free the furry-but-vicious lab specimens called Fuzzles, and enlist them into attacking the Vykkers and their cohorts. With his new army of Fuzzles, Munch manages to escape the dreaded facility.

Meanwhile, the Almighty Raisin tells the Mudokon hero Abe of Munch's plight, and commands him to find and rescue the Gabbit. The two manage to find each other just as Munch is escaping Vykkers Labs. After they destroy two Sloghuts (areas where Mudokons are forced to tend and feed Slog guard dogs) and help natives fend off Slig attacks, they find their way back to the Almighty Raisin. He tells them to go back to Vykkers Labs (particularly appalling for Munch) to save their respective species. The last can of Gabbit eggs is being auctioned in a few days as the last delicacy of its kind, and there are large stockpiles of Mudokon eggs in the fortress, intended to be used to hatch slaves.

Through making a lowly, poor, dull-minded Glukkon named Lulu rich (filthy rich) by bankrupting several other Glukkons and several Industrial companies through possessing the Glukkons and forcing them to donate their Moolah to Lulu's Fund (this was the only way Lulu would make any sort of money) and thus allowing him to rise in Glukkon ranks to the status of "Glockstar", they infiltrate Vykker's Labs, and eventually save the Mudokon eggs. What happens next depends on the actions of the player...
