* BreatherBoss: Elboze Freely has a predictable pattern, is generally easy to bag alive, and doesn't have Outlaws getting in the player's way.
* CaptainObviousReveal: The Stranger is [[spoiler: a Steef]]. Many saw it coming due to [[spoiler: faces of the Steef statue]] and [[spoiler: the Steef heads in Sekto's office looking very similar to the Stranger's]].
* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Sekto]] is an [[PuppeteerParasite Oktigi]] who took over the body of the Olden Steef and hunted the rest of the Steef to near-extinction, keeping their heads as trophies. Becoming the [[CorruptCorporateExecutive head of Sekto Springs Bottled Water Company]], Sekto dammed Mongo River to sell the water for a profit, causing the native Grubb population to suffer a deadly drought. If any Grubbs trespassed, Sekto had them killed and [[DeadGuyOnDisplay strung up as a warning]]. When protagonist [[BountyHunter Stranger]] is outed as the last surviving Steef, Sekto mounts an attack on the remaining Grubb villages, including the city of Last Legs. After Stranger fights his way to Sekto's office, the latter attempts to complete his collection of Steef heads by killing Stranger whilst taunting him over the death of his people.
* CatharsisFactor: After the Stranger is able to breed his ammo, the player no longer has an incentive to keep enemies alive.
* DemonicSpiders: [[ActionBomb Outlaw Bombers]], who take out about 3/4 of your health if they hit you, are fast, and are a pain to capture (And are worth a lot when captured alive) because if you try to knock them out when their bombs are active, they explode and die.
* DracoInLeatherPants: Sekto, surprisingly, has fangirls.
* EvenBetterSequel: ''Stranger's Wrath'' for the Xbox Games. While ''Munch's Oddysee'' has its fans, some complained about how repetitive it can get and how easier it is compared to the Abe games. ''Stranger's Wrath'' is meanwhile much more varied and difficult, with a particularly memorable HalfwayPlotSwitch that changes the gameplay up significantly while not moving away from what make the core gameplay work.
* HilariousInHindsight: Stranger has a similar design to the possible UncannyValley victim of [[Film/BeautyAndTheBeast2017 Beast]].
* MagnificentBastard: [[NoNameGiven Stranger]] is a gruff and enigmatic BountyHunter that hunts outlaws to pay for an expensive operation needed to survive. Combining an intense snark and sharp mind, he uses a wide variety of strange animals as [[AbnormalAmmo living ammo]] to lure, capture, or kill his targets while always making the most of his environment to handily defeat entire gangs and their leaders. In truth, Stranger is the last of the [[OurCentaursAreDifferent Steefs]] that once protected the Mongo River and its Grubb inhabitants from the depredations of the [[CorruptCorporateExecutive greedy and monstrous Sekto]]. Needing the operation to become bipedal, Stranger is ultimately found out and rejoins the Grubbs for self preservation, but he soon chooses to become their guardian when they accept him. Rallying them and saving their city, he valiantly leads them to depose Sekto and destroy his dam, restoring their culture and finally finding a place to call home.
* MemeticBadass: Stranger for obvious reasons.
* MoralEventHorizon: Sekto is probably the most ruthless villain in the franchise. It's hard to say when exactly he crossed his, but three come to mind: 1. [[spoiler: Hunting the Steeves to near-extinction]]. 2. [[spoiler: Taking over the Olden Steef's body]]. Judging by the Olden Steef asking the Stranger if the water was free, it's possible that [[AndIMustScream he was lucid during all of it too]]. 3. Driving the Grubs away from the river, killing anybody who trespasses, and has their corpses strung up on display to make a point.
* SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound: The sound after a major Outlaw is killed as well as they are bagged up.
* PortingDisaster: The PC Oddbox version of ''Stranger's Wrath'' was this pre-patching. When a fantastic spec computer struggles with broken textures, water that doesn't render right, random crashes, and control problems with a HD re-release of a five-year-old UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}} game, ''something's horribly wrong''...
** PolishedPort: ...as opposed to the [=PS3=] re-releases, which are completely bug free, work like a charm, and have some actual updated graphical quality to boot (like better fur on some of the furry stuff, like the stunks). A lot of these features were thankfully later added onto the PC port of ''Stranger's Wrath'', and as of 2016 HD updates for ''Munch's Odyssey'' on PC having been rolling out on Steam (with owners of the original release receiving the full ''Munch's Odyssey HD'' for free once it's completed by the porting company).
* SignatureScene: The Stranger's lion-like roar after [[spoiler: defeating Sekto]] in ''Stranger's Wrath.''
* TearJerker: The [[BittersweetEnding ending]] of ''Stranger's Wrath'', when [[spoiler:the Olden Steef dies after being used as Sekto's host body.]]
--> [[spoiler:'''Olden Steef:''']] Is the water... free?
* ThatOneBoss:
** Packrat Palooka, especially if you are trying to capture him alive.
** The DualBoss fight against the two Gloktigi can be really frustrating - if you let them get close, they can spam you to death with their [[ThatOneAttack spinning melee attacks]].
** Fatty [=McBoomBoom=] is another pain in the ass, as he will often launch towards the player as he tries to aim, his Outlaw Mooks are relentless, and the space is too small to limit your hiding options.
* UglyCute: The Grubbs and Fuzzles are this,
* TheWoobie:
** The Stranger is implied to have SurvivorsGuilt over [[spoiler: the Steef genocide, to the point where he renounced his heritage]].
** The player knows what [[spoiler: the Olden Steef]] has been through from just his one scene. He spent years [[spoiler: under Sekto's control as he used his body to hunt his own people to extinction]]. Asking the Stranger if [[spoiler: the water was free]] heavily implies that [[AndIMustScream completely lucid during Sekto's reign too]].

** Why is Stranger's voice acting so oddly paced and somewhat off? [[spoiler: He's a Steef. A side character's conversation reveals that Steefs ''can't speak''. Stranger had to '''teach himself how to speak the native language, but is not fluent.''']]
** Early in the game, Stranger says [[spoiler:(with regard to his surgery) "I ''need'' this to ''survive''." Once we know what the surgery is [[labelnote:*]]Removing two of his legs to make him harder to identify as a Steef[[/labelnote]], his use of "survive" rather than "live" seems telling.]]
** In the final levels, Sekto repeatedly rants to Stranger that 'The water is MINE'. [[spoiler: In the final cutscene we discover that Sekto is actually an aquatic creature native to the Mungo River. He likely considers his natural habitat to be his to do with as he pleases.]]
* FridgeHorror:
** [[spoiler: Stranger's bounty device converts enemies into ammo instead of saving them for turn-in later. The enemies are used as food for your ammo, which includes rabid furry things, bees, spiders, and spiked slugs. '''''You get more ammo from live enemies.''''']]
