ELUM

Abe's "pet" is mnky, stubborn, selfish, and smells like a burst sewer pipe, and those are his good points. Fortunately, chicks dig him.

~~~

The best darn floor-waxer in RuptureFarms also just happens to be the millennia I Hero selected by fate to rescue his fellow Mudokom from slavery. Pity the Mudokons.

These relentless nightmares reside in the dusty vaults of a lost desert temple.

Not much to look at, but terrific dancers.

11

On their own, they're cute in a stomach-churning sort of way,

but put them in packs and they get vicious. Kind of like children.

Gunned-up slugs in mechanical pants, with itchy trigger-fingers and room temperature lOs. Cruel taskmasters of the sadistic playpen that is Rupturelarms.

H~~~

They bark, eat live flesh, and are definitely not good with children, but they're a Slig's best friend. Their favorite bone is in Abe's leg.

Sharp-dr~ssed, dgar·smokins, merciless corporate masters of RuptureFarml: When these creeps make a killing in the market, they use a butcher, not iMto~broker.

Not all Mudokons are enslaved in Rupturefarrns, but those that live in the wild are a vanishing breed. They don't take kindly

to dry-folk.

,

Well, there used to be these really teol creatures ,called Meechcs, but they were slaughtered to make Meech Munchies, and now they're extinct. Industry marches on.

Half-Mudokon, half·God,

all trouble. If Abe survives his quest, he gets to turn into this bad boy and kick lome tail. Life is good.

Robbed of their proud and ancient legacy by profrt-rrazy Glukkonl, the Mudokons are the slave labor force of Rupturelarms. Because there are no animals left to slaughter, these chumps are the flavor of the week.
