So... how did the Mudokons get enslaved?

[Queen HawlSera]

If they can chant and control the minds of Sligs and (as we see in Exoddus) Glukkons, in addition to their chants being able to grow fruit and raise the dead (Munch's Oddysee)

Something that's clearly a commonly known power and not exclusive to Abe since once you start chanting onscreen Sligs freak the ♥♥♥♥ right out knowing what's going to happen, and according to the manual for the original PSX Oddysee, the REASON Abe is called Stitch Lips is because he figured out he could control minds by chanting from immitating a buzzsaw during his shift leading to his lips getting stitched together so he'd stop doing it...

Just saying the mudokons could have just chanted and taken over Rupture farms.... from the begining.

Unless this is SUPPOSED to be a metaphor for how Corporations make us feel smaller than we really are preventing us from fighting their brainwashing effectively thus making us their slaves..... That would hillariously ironic in a parallel universe where Oddworld instead of doing badly sales wise with both Munch's Oddysee and Stranger's Wrath succeeded and became one of the titans of the industry.......

(Just stating facts, I LOVE the Oddworld series and how it effectively blends Humor and Horror)

Centuries ago, the Glukkons were allies of the Mudokons.
Glukkons and Mudokons lived together in peace and prosperity until the appearance of the Mudokon Moon. Shortly after the appearance of the moon, the Mudokons interpreted the phenomenon as a sign from their gods that declared them as the Chosen Race or the supreme species of Oddworld.

Outraged by the Mudokons' declaration of self divinity, the Glukkons cut off their relations with them.

As Glukkon society continued to flourish, the Mudokons started to work with the Glukkons in creating the forerunners of the products manufactured today. Over time, the Glukkons belittled and oppressed their Mudokon collaborators and eventually enslaved their former allies. During their enslavement, the majority of the Mudokon species forgot their long-treasured heritage.

Well as we can see from the lore , that was a slow corruption of them.
I would say the downfall of their society was just by money.

Yeah, but they can CONTROL MINDS, by CHANTING! That's like if I continued to work my Wal-Mart job despite being able to walk through walls, dissapear, and fly, making me much more unique than the other guy.

You have for sure see this "orbs" , that shock you, if you try to chant.

So you can't chant + must fight that mean guys who have guns, what now ?

Mudokons are not like Na'vi from Avatar who had some kind of warrior and hunter culture.
I would actually call them hippies and farmers. So one day you are facing an organised army with guns and can't chant.


In "hand of odd" it was supposed that you can finally fight back.

The amount of overconfidence Oddwolrd Inhabitants had in planning TEN GAMES and various spinoffs is amazing... Especially since they were lucky to release five over the course of 2.5 decades
