Oddworld: Vykkers Viciousness

Oddworld Lore: Viciousness Of The Vykkers is a video about Oddworld lore by pupbenny that takes a closer look at the Vykker scientists and doctors that work at Vykkers Labs in Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. The Vykkers are truly one of Oddworld Inhabitants most evil creations and this is shown, Lorne Lanning certainly created a fantastic way of depicting the true horror of Oddworld's Industrialists with the Vykkers Conglomerate. I absolutely love the Vykkers, I could say so much about them, it amazes me I've never done a video specifically about their species before, I could probably do five. The Vykkers are simply one of the most fascinating characters on Oddworld, there's so much to say about them, and so with the Oddworld Soulstorm Enhanced Addition with Vykker's Labs Challenge Rooms on Xbox coming out, I figured now would be a great time to finally make a video about Oddworld: VICIOUSNESS Of The VYKKERS and their Fuzzle Testing!
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!

The fuzzle with the finger-like legs seems like a combination of a fuzzle with a pair of intern's hands.

[@pupbenny]

OH MY GOSH YES! I don't know how I didn't see that! Wow, they even do experiments using the Interns.... that's even darker than I thought.

With this in mind, im actually surprised on how nice Doc from strangers wrath is, his only compliant on doing strangers surgery is the money, dude doesn’t even reveal his secret despite the profit it could make.

[@mrslinkydragon9910]

maybe hes a bit more of a well rounded vyker

[@pupbenny]

Yeah, I've always found him fascinating because of that. There wasn't really much in the game that indicated him being particularly bad or anything like the standard Vykkers.

Fun fact: the italian version of munch's oddysse both the vykkers and gabbit race name are change. Vykkers are called Saddyk ( as Sadico, italian for sadistic) and gabbits tripodonte (tripod)

[@bigjohnsbreakfastlog5819]

The fact that Stranger himself was willing to get an experimental surgery to hide his true identity from a Vykker both showed the desperation of Stranger's situation but also the level of cruelty the average Vykker possesses that a complete augmentation of someone's physical appearance is acceptable as long as the money's there. And bear in mind that the doctor only plays a small part in Stranger's Wrath.

[@treyjordan3168]

It definitely lends credence to that age-old phrase "Desperate Times call for Desperate Measures"

[@pupbenny]

That's a really good perspective on it!

[@Brianna-eo8nu]

Not to mention the fact that when you actually look at the art of the blue prints for docs planned surgery for stranger, his plan seemed to be to literally just stitch his two legs together... somehow?? Yeah, I think maybe Doc getting hanged was a blessing in disguise for stranger...

[@beastwarsFTW]

Doc seems to be one of the few Vykkers with any morality, he never told his patients' secret even died to protect Stranger considering D Castle Rader only found out when he found the papers that Stranger had on him.

[@jeffumbach]

@@beastwarsFTW or he just took Doctor-Patient Confidentiality more seriously than his own life.

[@davidarri9115]

my elementary school teacher looked a bit like a Vykker. Moreover, if the magog cartel exists it is thanks to them that they have created so many comforts for the Glukkons. Imagine going to the dentist and finding Irwin at Humpry saying, "Surprise!"

[@pupbenny]

LOL wow, your elementary school teacher sounds interesting! xD Be careful of them!

[@bostin1472]

I’ve experienced “hell’s itch” and it was really horrible, so the creature who’s always itching but can’t scratch itself really disturbed me

[@pupbenny]

Yeah, it's a really horrific concept!

[@whichhatte-persomi]

He's in agony!

[@Pinkuboi]

I love how simple oddworld can be when designing these species. Its in their very nature to be cruel, and theyve used it to their advantage to prosper in the industrial economy.

[@pupbenny]

Yeah, I absolutely love that!

[@pupbenny]

The Vykkers are truly evil characters and that's one thing that makes them incredibly fascinating! They are the true horrors of Oddworld and some of the viscous acts that they've been seen to commit are genuinely disturbing, I'd say.

[@oddworldenthusiastnate4084]

Praise the Pub :) another amazing video my friend.

[@denifnaf5874]

As morty once said: you are like hitler but even he cared 'bout germany or something... Probably referring to the Vykkers.

[@denifnaf5874]

Fun fact n@si scientist did not preform eye surgery on normal ppl but on twins. Aaand they also performed trans gender operations on their opposite gender twins.

[@Brianna-eo8nu]

You should totally upload clips of those restored hd 60fps Oddworld cutscenes you keep showing in your videos! These are some of the most high quality versions of these cutscenes, and it be great to see clips of them in full on their own. You could even make a side-by-side comparison video between yours and the un-edited in game cutscenes. Unless of corse there’s problems about copyright and such, which would be understandable....

[@Morgomir09]

[@Limes11]

The Doc Vykker. From Strangers Wrath has always been an interesting one for me. All Vykkers as you said have a higher purpose or have lots of power but The Doc doesn't. He lives amongst the Clakkers in a western civilisation, What happened to him which drove him away for the Vykker lifestyle or was he just born differently. Shame like some characters he was killed to earlier in his game. Also there may not be a instalment of Stranger for awhile.

[@ulmico]

4:21 I think that could be some kind of experimental artificial eye.

[@davidarri9115]

For me, is a monocle lol

[@pupbenny]

Yeah could be! It looks something like that. Another thing I was thinking is if it was some kind of eye surgery tool or something.

I keeping hoping they make another third person game that sheds even more light on the character / story rich setting.

[@pupbenny]

I hope they do too eventually. :) It would be really great to find out more.

[@Brianna-eo8nu]

5:53 I think the grafted on claws of that fuzzle are supposed to be the hands of an Intern. What with the long, skeletal fingers and the lack of thumbs. It wouldn’t be out of character for the Vykkers to utilise the Interns in their fuzzle experiments like this...

[@pupbenny]

Yeah I don't know how I completely missed that, it's so obvious haha! It's really interesting that they even apparently do experiments on their own workers lol. I didn't know that! (Though it makes perfect sense.)

[@juanisol8275]

Its crazy how each industrial species of the oddworld , they have unique and peculiar roles who descibres them. How glukkons are mean for been empresarial gastronomy or sligs to been rutless for been the secuirity guard or even the Interns been like teen jerks. But vykkers shiver my spines for they sadic nature.. who knows what others industrial specie in the oddworld are even more worst of them!

You might already know this (or even referenced it in another video) but there's a teaser for the Vykkers in Abe's Exodus. In one of the levels there is a door labelled 'Vykker's Labs: Coming Soon' which cannot be accessed. Just a cute teaser for Munch's Oddysee - or possibly Squeaks Oddysee since that was intened to be the 3rd Oddworld game at the time.

[@pupbenny]

Oh wow this video actually came out 4K? When I uploaded it yesterday I waited hours before publishing but it still said 1080p so I thought it hadn't done it properly. Guess it just needed a bit longer.

[@georgeowain]

I actually saw old BW old footage where some German doctor experimented in head grafting. He basically severed the head of a small dog, and attached it to the shoulder of a slightly larger dog. It was really messed up watching the dog run around with the other dog's head still alive and protruding from its shoulder.

I would say realistically theyd be more akin to imperial japan because unlike the nazis the japanese did far worse and actually developed advancements in medicine through it. Its a common misconception that the nazis did this which they did try to do but unlike japan the nazi scientists were often fresh out of uni students where as japan used senior scientists and doctors and yeah.
