  • Oddworld Lore: The Almighty Raisin is a video about Oddworld lore by pupbenny that takes a closer look at the story of The Almighty Raisin from Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee who acts as the guide for Abe and Munch as they embark on their journey to make Lulu the Glukkon rich and get him to Vykker's Labs.
    Oddworld was created by Lorne Lanning who founded Oddworld Inhabitants which has produced many games, Including Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee, Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus, Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath and Oddworld: Soulstorm. I find the Oddworld lore fascination and hope to bring the Oddworld universe to life by telling the story of it and it's characters, creatures and locations so that they can be explained and theorised about by delving into Oddworld theory and the lore of the universe of the Oddworld games!

    Imagine after Soulstorm, the Raisin is the one that hires Stranger to take down Abe, but in a way that convinces them to work together against the Magog Cartel.

      I get the feeling that “would likely have appeared in Hand of Odd” is getting to be this channel’s version of Chris McFeely’s “was offlined by a cosmically powered Starscream”.

      Such a great video: you know, somehow Almighty Raisin reminds me of Odin from Norse mythology, since he's omniscient, omnipresent etc., maybe also because of the fact Odin has two crows who travel throughout the world and come back telling him all they have seen, that explains his immense knowledge, like Almighty Raisin knows everything thanks to the Ratz being all over Oddworld... that is cool :D

    Hearing you describe how he used to have branches made me realize something: he's not a raisin, he's an onion. An onion is a part of a specific plant that lies beneath the earth and is stuffed with sustenance so that when the above-ground portion withers and dies in the winter, the plant itself will still survive to regrow next spring. almighty raisin is the onion of all of nature, enduring the winter of industrialization so that it may regrow when it passes.

    I think the reason there are paramites in the area is because the paramite's home in paramonia is a tree,seeing how the the Raisin is basically a tree we can assume that the paramites are very protective of him because of this reason and the cave drawings are what the mudokans made to signify the importance of the Raisin to the paramites,that's probably the way he was discovered,in a cave surrounded by the sacred paramites and took it as a sign that the Raisin is of great importance to their sacred animal.

      Didn't change the colours, but I brightened it up (which I guess changed the colours....) Apart form that, I think the game was pretty much unaltered aside from the Mudokons being different (as well as Abe's skin being bluer). Also I accidentally removed the fur from the Fuzzles and it makes them look like they've been tested on, which ironically works considering they're in Vykker's Labs.
