Oh no I'm stuck, help me out step slig. I'm sorry I couldn't resist!

For some reason, seeing huge characters like the Big Bro Sligs run so fast actually cracks me up.

Idea for Sligstorm. The two main "heroes" are the Albino slig, a small guy that escaped being agumented/killed and actually grew up to be rather smart. The other is the "Biggest of Bros" , possibly a former elite guard of the Slig queen who's is extremely simple almost to the point of utter stupidity by even Slig Standards, but due to being so big and scary that he rarely has to do anything, is actually usually rather gentle. The two team up to save the life of a recently born female slig who the Queen tries to have killed so she can't be possibly replaced. Baby Girl, as they call here, is extremely kind even as a baby, so Al (The albino) and Bigs (The Biggest Bro) Decide to save her and try and get her back to the old abandoned swamps where their kind were originally from and no one lives in anymore. Al could be the sneaky brain boy that does stealth bits and tech and what not, while also possibly upgrading Bigs' equipment over time with enough mollah to get buy the parts from a Glukkon, (Maybe Mulluk?) while Bigs is the muscle, smacking people and breaking things as needed.

11:30 you’ll never escape me, Abe. Not when I shift into MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE!!!

To be fair if I only had a 20 year lifespan, I may as well spend my short life being a hulking giant badass, even if the steroids are eventually gonna make my heart explode.

Big bro slig: I am giant heavy weapon slig and this is my new weapon

I believe Big Bros were what inspired the design of Steef in Strangers Wrath. But in game, the Steef might have been what inspired the creation of Big Bros (large quadruped guardians with massive arms able to take a lot of punishment and dish it out)

I wonder, if the treatments are so expensive hence why the Glukkons don't do it to all of their sligs. Do you think the super rich glukkons keep lots of Big Bro sligs around as a way to flaunt their massive wealth?

Love it when someone loves a game so much they analyze it and break it down. Wanted to play oddworld but never did, thank you for sharing

While making this I discovered that in Xbox Munch's Oddysee, Big Bro Sligs have their own walking sound which mixes a lower Slig walk sound with a heavier noise and Snoozers have their own unique sound. However, in the HD remake, Big Bros still have the/a heavier noise, but the Slig part of the sound is exactly the same as an ordinary Slig and Snoozers no longer have their own unique walking sound and just use the same one as a normal Slig as well. I prefer the Xbox version in both instances, I wonder why they changed it so they all use the standard Slig noise.

If the next 3rd installment in the quintology is a reimagining of munches oddysee, then i really hope these large guys make a return.

*3 Scrabs Jump on Slig* Slig: AAAAAA HELP!!!!! Big Bro: *Aims Blitz packer* I gotcha little bro!

We need to start a petition to get Sligstorm made!!!!

hyperoxygenation is also considered a performance enhancement similar to anabolic steroids. More oxygen/ oxygen-rich blood is seen as a method to stimulate muscle growth and higher endurance, as you're putting less effort into breathing to fuel your cells. Lance Armstrong's "doping" scandal was based around him having transfusions of oxygen-rich blood into his body to give him a higher stamina threshold. Oxygen-rich environments are also associated with disproportionately sized organisms; thus why prehistoric settings with a thicker atmosphere are often depicted as having giant insects. So it is entirely possible the oxygen pump is part of the bulking up procedure.

I love how pubenny is the only person that still doing oddworld content as oddworld is one of my fave platform games 🎮

9:57 Night vision capable is what I'm assuming they are convoying, Sam Fisher, elite police forces are often denoted by their nods in many games witch was often displayed in a three design, what your seeing more popular pretty recently has been the four optical style.

7:20 all I can think is the good ol' heavy from TF2 saying "WHO TOUCHED MY GUN?!"

so a regular slig gun can't kill a big bro in a couple seconds, yet some piece of *wood* is just enough to murder one?

All your lore videos are fascinating, hoping you’ll also do some Stranger’s Wrath stuff in the future too!

Seeing a big bro slig running at you faster than what should be physically possible is VERY unnerving to me-

Considering big bro sligs hold/use the blitzpacker like it was a pistol I wonder if a big bro has ever dual wielded them

''Sligs come in two varieties, Twinks, and Twonks.''

Those things are terrifying.

Keep doing what u do my friend

I was around 11 year old when I first played Munch's Oddysee and I remember when I first encountered a Big bro slig I screamed I just didnt expect that. I was so scared lol. But when I finished the game, I was so proud of myself haha Anyway, great job on the video benny as always, keep it up :3

10:26 lorne lanning is a big star wars fan, he mentions in a few interviews he resonates with Yodas philosophies and that the star wars art book inspired him when he was young (which i thought was super cool cause I have that same art book)

I remember that I have an OC of a big bro Slig. He wasn't given a choice and taken from his adopted mother Tuna.

10:34 i love it the design along these red eyes remind me about metroid prime space pirates

The extra eye is probably a nod to Sam Fisher from Splinter cell who has green 3 eyed goggles.

I thought of a really unique and fun boss battle for oddworld,a big bro slig that's mixed like a flying slig and has a acid grenade launcher,he has a shield that makes him invulnerable until you kill the smaller flying electric sligs that will slowly respawn

11:33 *bfg division ost intensifies* I Really want to command and army of Sligs so bad! I’m down with the hand of odd tabletop game

Wake up babe, pupbenny uploaded another lore video

I love the amount of dedication you put into these lore videos.

Once again, another entertaining lore video for a game I've never played or plan on playing. The cutscenes of the Oddworld games are honestly beautiful regardless of the era they came out in and the well thought out the explicit and implicit backstories are fascinating!

My favourite new design to come out of Munch's Oddysee, love the Big Bro Slig. Wish we'd gotten to control the armoured version more than once in the game.

Love your vids mate

You should do a lore video on the Slig’s equipment and weapons!

Just watched your other vids, imagine my joy seeing this uploaded a few hours ago

Hope these guys return in Oddworld’s future. The cartels & syndicates definitely benefit from just that little, Extra muscle~

i like to imagine the normal sligs looking up to them, like they're their big bros

Have you ever thought about recording yourself reading stories or(like an audible voice) or telling stories in general? I could listen to you talk all day 👍🏾👍🏾. Also, love the content 😀. I never played any of the Oddworld games but I really enjoy the lure!

Yay you uploaded

another awesome and well detailled video!

Amazing video my boi, you were actually a random recommendation that got me into the series world. And after playing the first title and watching your videos. Have have you considered making a larger "documentary" style video. Going through Oddworld's history and timeline whilst filling in information about people, places and things? I think it'd be a cool idea to consider

Hope we get some wildlife or native race lore next!

Imagine if their was a part in Strangers Wrath where you went up against the Sligs

Big Bro Sligs Are My Favourite Oddworld Munch's Oddysee Character :)

Keep em goin

Another fave of mine

The third eye could be a 'range finder' as for 'Hand of Odd' is that.....a 'Command and Conquer' reference? 'Hand of Nod'?

Something to note about modern optical devices like Night Vision, Thermal or Inferred goggles is that they don't always just have one or two lenses. Alot of modern examples are akin to camera systems and can have upwards of four to six different "eye" pieces despite us humans only having two eyes. Also yeah that mask looks more like a Star Wars Storm Trooper than it does a Sturm Troopen.

Id really love to see a video about the octigi/gloktigi

who knows maybe will see once again the big bro sligs and hs cut weaponry stuff in the next soulstorm realease, also i hope to see more creatures/inhabitants from the oddworld..

Amazing vid! They should have been in Soulstorm with Xbox version 😭

Love your channel & how it gets more people into the Oddworld series!

What would anger management even look like in Oddworld?

Big bro sligs often remind me of frank horrigan from the fallout franchise. Especially since the lil regular sligs are similar looking to the enclave soldiers who use Xo1 power armor as well.

they probably made the storm trooper mask cause lorne loves star wars

The bit about their armour colouration got me thinking, maybe id be a fun video talking about the visual differences between Munch HD and the originals

I love that each minion has a similar body shape to their employer, the sligs have basically no legs or feet just like the gluckon and the interns are related to the vyykers

I hope to see BBS again on next PS5 Oddworld game ❤️ He looks badass and elite.

I feel like they were given the steroids from a young age, likely as soon as they reach the age were it's not too great of a risk that they might die from it, to promote such abnormal growth. They don't just have bigger muscles, their entire bodies are several times the normal size for a Slig.

This was my favorite character in munchs oddysee. Is this flipped or are they all left handed

there are night vison goggles with three eyes in fact the splinter cell series is a great example for that ive also seen some goggles with four eyes i dont know the exact purpose of more eyes but its pretty common among spec ops groups

What’s the background music?

I think the third eye is supposed to reference Sam Fisher's night vision goggles from Splinter Cell.

5:55 Because this game was made by the same people that created horrifying robot angels that descend from the ceiling from arms that act as both therapists and interrogators, that were originally made to service the depressed Modokon Queen to help her lay more eggs, and that were shown in a promo/cutscene, none of which has actually made it into a game and had to be cut from the only game they almost showed up in. It feels like they are exactly the kind of people who would make you become a Big Bro Slig who just dropped in and go and grab your weapon like an actual Big Bro Slig would just for that little bit of world building and immersion. The thoughts your having "why didn't the Big Bro Slig just drop in with the weapon" are probably the exact thoughts of the Big Bro Slig himself. "Why do I have to go grab my weapon after I drop in, why can't I just pick it up before I jump down?" And the answer is probably because it would make it far too likely that the weapon would hit the sides of the tube and mess up the Big Bro's descent.

10:29 it reminds me of genrel grivous from starwars like a long faced grivous

I cannot imagine how much pain they may go through just to be jacked.

Older video, but it reminds of Frank Horrigan from Fallout 2. A heavily mutated and cybernetically enhanced person serving as the president's body guard. He even has exposed biceps and gloves instead of full protection unlike his fellow Enclave soldiers

what if a mudokun got steroids

Nice video

Can you do the lore of Shrykull?

Neat.

These would Have Been cool on souls storm

Fun fact about the Olympics and anabolic steroids. Though they're not allowed, do you know how many athletes were on performance enhancers and became famous because of their "athletic merits"? A lot of them. Rules mean nothing if your face ends up on a box of wheaties.

THIS WAS WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR!

I couldn't personally play Munch's Oddysee in these years, but will get to play in the next months with a friend of mine, can't wait for it :) Thank you for analyzing Big Bro Sligs, pupbenny! It's interesting that every single detail in Oddworld reminds of something regarding our reality, in this case these characters symbolize the abuse of drugs and steroids... creepy. @pupbenny, I was wondering if you accept some ideas for your next videos about the Oddworld Lore? I have some themes I would like you to talk, analyze and theorize about... is it possible to write this small list in the comments, please?

I've never played Munch's Oddysee unfortunately. It's a shame this was only on Xbox.

yoooo when you doing another livestream?

I remember making fun of these guys when I was younger playing munches oddysee. They were moving so slow Till they spotted me I had the biggest heart attack! I never wanted to face one again, it was so terrifying! WHY ARE THEY SO FAST

Oh! Step slig... i seemed to have got myself stuck in these meat grinders somehow, get me outta here!

*B R U H* Dang love these Guys~

Slig Slig Chungus Slig Chungus

*S'MOBS INTENSIFIES* Edit: Misplaced the apostrophe.

i really hope we see one in the next new game

yes steroids cause a deepen voice in real life, i've been going to the gym for years, interestingly i'm curious will the big bros shink if they don't get their fix because all that happened when the uk first game out of lockdown was all the roid bois shrank in the wash one guy went from XXL shirts to M shirts it was kinda funny, also roids don't increase strength, roids just make you look bigger, its always funny watching some of these bastards try to lift weight thats not on a bar and can't, so yeah maybe the normal sligs could body the big bros in a fist fight

What is there life spam since the regular one max life in the inductory world is 20 years.

wats good big bro

I wonder if sligs would be able to fight the covenant from halo or the empire from star wars

If we ever get a new not remake new oddworld game there should be a giga bro slig one that completely abused steroids and is to heavy for pants and walks on its hand

It’s not payed attention to but I’ve noticed the slacker ones are the ones that come out of the toon with makes sints it can’t be easily to sleep in there and if my boss shoved me into a vending macine I’d be ya fuck this jos to

in the great wise word of all sligs i

Is it just me or do sligs and bull squids look extremely similar

My Bigmen

Ah, my favourite, pumped full-of-testosterone and steroids, squid-like warriors :P

Do you even lift bro????!!!!!

wow

Creature of steel.

I hope in the remake they are glukkons instead of sligs.
