Sam (Oddworld)

Sam is the Mudokon queen and one of the few female members of the species left alive. She's held captive in Nolybab, where she's forced to lay eggs and give birth to her children in a life of slavery.
==Story==
Sam is held captive by the industrial forces of the Magog Cartel and Vykkers Laboratories. Her eggs are shipped to various industrial companies under the name "Sam's Labor Eggs" to hatch unbeatably into the company's future slave force. As time passed, Sam began to enter a deep depression, and the Vykkers soon realized that during this depression Sam was producing fewer eggs. So, they used an interrogation robot known as Shrink (a sentient artificial intelligence) to keep Sam company and comfort her. It is unknown what her relationships or feelings are towards her Mudokon offspring. However, the fact that she needs the Shrink to keep her happy means that she'd fall into a deep depression with the idea of her offspring being taken away into slavery.
It's possible that many Mudokon women existed in the past to maintain a stable population. It's also likely that she's the only female slave, because this makes it easier to control the Mudokon population and ensure that any free Mudokon who oppose the Magog Cartel or the Vykker Conglomerate are the last generation to live, other than the slaves.
Until Sam is rescued, the only way for Mudokons, like Abe, to ensure their species doesn't go extinct is with stolen working eggs and rescued scrubs.
In Oddworld: Soulstorm, it's revealed that she was the one who stitched Abe's lips.
==Trivia==
Sam was originally scheduled to make an appearance in Munch's Oddysee, held inside Vykkers Labs. However, due to time constraints, this particular part of the plot was cut and, canonically, Sam wasn't actually present in Vykkers Labs. Otherwise, the ending would have meant that she would most likely die in the subsequent explosion.
She was supposed to appear in Munch's Exoddus, before its cancellation. However, in the good ending of Oddworld: Soulstorm, after learning so much from the Keeper, Abe discovers that Sam is now in Nolybab and has left her kind for unknown reasons.
