History NightmareFuel / Oddworld

** The ''Munch's Oddysee'' ending is considered to be the worst of them all. Outraged that they were abandoned to cosmetic experimentation, the heavily-mutilated Fuzzles gang up on Abe and Munch while setting off the alarms, resulting in the Vykkers capturing the duo and killing Abe; the game then cuts to Munch's race ending with him being violently eviscerated for his lungs (which are to be sold). Following this is a newspaper detailing [[DownerEnding everything going downhill afterwards]], with the last can of Gabbiar getting eaten, destroying any chance of the species coming back, the queen Glukkon getting a new pair of lungs, and the rest of the generations of Mudokons being doomed to birth as slaves.

* Abe himself counts too. For the first time, we get an idea about the surviving Sligs are affected by his exploits. The Chauffeur recounts seeing his "best friendsies" suddenly blast each other away and Aslik's head of security even mentions some of the survivors being stricken with PTSD. It's just a small glimpse of just how terrifying possession really is when you're not the one in control. This is especially considering some implications in previous games that the victims are at least ''partially'' aware of what they're being forced to do.[[note]] Some Sligs when being depossessed will even say "What's happening?" or "I don't wanna, I don't wanna..!"[[/note]]
* The worst ending. Abe, fretting over his bad Quarma having cost him the only means of finding his mother, trips and breaks several bottles of Soulstorm Brew in front of the open train furance. There's a HopeSpot where Toby catches an ember headed for the puddles of Brew, only for another one to land. The brew ignites, and we're treated to [[ManOnFire a burning Abe]] trying to open the door to get to the extinguisher. He fails, and the flaming train slams into the Brewery. The brewery explodes, and Molluck's pilot notes that the fires have gotten into the brewery's pipelines to other Cartel factories. Molluck himself knows that he'll be the one to suffer the consequences, and murders the Slig after he insults him. The newspapers after the cutscene reveal Abe's failure has cost ''thousands'' of Mudokons their lives in factory fires all over the continent.
** To make it [[FromBadToWorse worse]], there is also FridgeHorror in lethal consequences of withdrawal from Soulstorm Brew and the brewery being razed to the ground. This essentially [[InferredHolocaust implies]] the death of all mudokon slaves.

** The Worst part? Said horrific robot with implements that can KILL you that they use in a threatening manner? It's meant to be a ''therapist'' to Queen Sam that they made to keep her happy ''so she produces more slave labor for them''

** In later games, it is implied that the Rupture Farms factory in Oddysee was [[FromBadToWorse merely the biggest processing plant out of several]].

* The concept of Soulstorm Brew gets even more Nightmare Fuel added to it. The Glukkons had the Vykkers deliberately make it extremely addictive. They also had them make the withdrawl from it ''painfully lethal'', so they could make sure that any Mudokons addicted to it wouldn't escape. And then there's the fact it's spectacularly ''flammable''. It is much worse for Abe and his friends, for one, because of their actions at Rupture Farms, many have been inspired and already taken upon themselves to escape, not knowing that the brew is what's killing them and escaping is certain death. Abe and his friends only made it as far as the did because Alf had a stash ready and the train they stole had plenty more. Not to mention, they have also been drinking the brew as well, and eventually it will run out for all them and their escapees too. Not even Abe's cure can help because he only made it in small doses and can't possibly make it for everyone in time. It truly became a race against the clock.

* The Slig Barracks has Bombing Range and Rifle Range sections. The Rifle Range uses metal Mudokon silhouettes as target practice, which is kind of darkly humourous but fairly tame. Then you get to the Bombing Range and it takes the same concept to nightmare fuel level. Flying Sligs are trained to shoot grenades at ''live Mudokons released from cages''. The mudokons in the area almost all start out [[ChemicallyInducedInsanity doped out of their minds on laughing gas]] to keep them ignorant of what they're there for.

** To some players, especially younger ones, the [[UglyCute Mudokons]] can be rather [[AccidentalNightmareFuel unnerving]], mainly due to their bloodshot yellow eyes, weird foreheads, and the fact that they're [[UncannyValley the most human-like lifeform on Oddworld]].

** To make it [[FromBadToWorse worse]], there is also FridgeHorror in lethal consequences of withdrawal from Soulstorm Brew and the brewery being razed to the ground. This essentially [[InferredHolocaust implies]] the death of all mudokon slaves.
** The Glukkons and their minions don't get it much better as the newspapers reveal that their society is in a rapid state of collapse without their workforce.

* The original design for the Mudokon Pop, as pictured to the right - a Mudokon's head grotesquely impaled on a stick. This was thankfully changed into a more friendly design in the Japanese version and all future depictions of Mudokon Pops, including in the ''New N' Tasty'' remake.
