It was originally planned for her to appear in ''[[Oddworld: Munch\u2019s Oddysee]]'', but she had to be cut from the story during the game\u2019s troubled production.\n== Appearance ==\nAs an adult female Mudokon, Sam is a biological queen who is alone responsible for producing the entire worker population of her colony. Her body is specialized in reproduction: while her head and thorax are just slightly taller than an adult worker Mudokon, her abdomen is many times this in height, length, and width.<ref name=\"SamPic\"/> Her front end is much like a Mudokon worker\u2019s, except with more age, a shorter head, and two huge breasts that spread out across the floor.<ref name=\"VideoModel\"/><ref name=\"BookModel\"/> Her hair is not tied up in a ponytail but in one huge roll.<ref name=\"BookModel\"/>\n\n== Captivity ==\nThere were once a few Mudokon queens, but once the Magog Cartel started opening factories in Mudos, the [[Glukkons]] began destroying the native culture and the other queens started dying. Scared of the genocide around her, Sam made a deal with the Glukkons, ensuring she and her children would always be given a place to stay, food and clothing, and that her children would be given jobs.<ref name=\"Nate\"/> When she saw that this deal was really a sell-out to the industrialized  lifestyle and led to the enslavement of the entire Mudokon race, she was driven to terrible drug addiction<ref name=\"Nate\"/><ref name=\"AlfDrugs\"/> and bouts of suicidal depression.<ref name=\"UniShrink\"/>\n\nShe is now kept on a straw bed in a huge padded lair in some [[Vykkers]] facility (Vykkers Labs 13 in the intended story of ''Munch\u2019s Oddysee''), chained between two security towers, each of which is fitted with gun turrets and spotlights. A ring of lights is suspended above her rear from the walls by metal cables, allowing adequate lighting for her egg laying.<ref name=\"SamPic\"/> The Mudokon eggs are handled by [[Interns]], whose large hands are perfect for carrying them, but who do not care for the unborn creatures inside.<ref name=\"BookInterns\"/> Sam is also under the guard of one<ref name=\"UniShrink\"/> or many<ref name=\"SamPic\"/> [[Shrinks]], whose job it is to keep her emotionally stable enough for her productivity not to drop below acceptable levels.<ref name=\"UniShrink\"/>\n\nSam\u2019s Mudokon eggs are now sold as '''Sam\u2019s Labor Eggs''' under the '''Slave Aid''' label.<ref name=\"SLElogo\"/> Paul O\u2019Connor has mentioned that Sam is part of a secret experiment,<ref name=\"Experiment\"/> but this may be a piece of misinformation.<ref name=\"Misinformation\"/>\n\nSam is responsible for sewing baby Abe\u2019s lips together to prevent him from crying and disturbing livestock. She did this knowing that unless she shut him up first, he would be hurt until he shut up one one way or another.<ref name=\"Nate\"/><ref name=\"AlfCry\"/><ref name=\"Oddguy\"/><ref name=\"G4\"/>\n\nAccording to the story intended for ''Munch\u2019s Oddysee'', [[Munch]] befriends Sam during his initial escape from Vykkers Labs.<ref name=\"MunchMeetsSam\"/> She sees the SkullJack on his head and comments \u2018They did that to ya didn\u2019t they? Doesn\u2019t surprise me. You\u2019d be amazed at what they can do.\u2019 Munch then watches as she yells furiously at Interns who are taking her eggs away, then as she downs several vials and jars of drugs.<ref name=\"Storyboards\"/>\n\n== Psychology ==\nSam made a deal with the Glukkons to provide her children with food and jobs, as an act of love to ensure that the marginalization and cultural genocide that was taking place all across newly industrialized Mudos would not befall her own children.<ref name=\"Nate\"/> Having seen that this led to their being treated as slave labour and a natural resource, she has developed severe drug addictions<ref name=\"Nate\"/><ref name=\"AlfDrugs\"/> and wild, rapid mood swings<ref name=\"UniShrink\"/> that take her between fury at the industrial races,<ref name=\"Storyboards\"/> nurturing love of her children,<ref name=\"SamPic\"/><ref name=\"BookSam\"/> and suicidal depression.<ref name=\"UniShrink\"/> She can be almost grandmotherly<ref name=\"BookSam\"/>, but she can also be a pill-popping bitch.<ref name=\"Presentation\"/> The Shrink that looks after her knows that, ultimately, she is on her way out.<ref name=\"UniShrink\"/>\n\n== Production history ==\n=== Inspiration ===\nThe concept of eusocial sapient races on Oddworld was inspired by [[Lorne Lanning]]\u2019s interest in the eusocial species of Earth: bees, ants, termites and naked mole rats\u2014\u200bone of his personal favourites.<ref name=\"OWW\"/> Lanning wanted to use this as the reproductive model of developed cultures to explore ideas of inheritance,<ref name=\"Nate5\"/> sexuality,<ref name=\"Sexuality\"/> idolization,<ref name=\"Experiment\"/> and parenting.\n\nSam in particular was inspired by Lanning\u2019s own mother, who he always saw as a tragic figure \u2018caught in the consumer mechanics of our modern world,\u2019 albeit in a greatly exaggerated way. According to him, she married a man she did not love because she was worried about raising two children alone, and was addicted to painkillers from a young age due to back problems. Lanning felt the idea of having to make a horrific decision that would affect a family\u2019s history was a powerful one he could use to make Sam a sympathetic character,<ref name=\"Nate\"/> but with an Oddworld \u2018tell\u2019\u2014\u200ban unexpected aspect to her that conflicts with her dominant personality.<ref name=\"Presentation\"/>\n\nLanning also compares the deal Sam made with the Glukkons to deals made between Native Americans and the expanding United States.<ref name=\"Nate\"/>\n\n=== ''Munch\u2019s Oddysee'' ===\nSam was originally supposed to appear in ''[[Oddworld: Munch\u2019s Oddysee]]'',<ref name=\"Experiment\"/><ref name=\"OWW\"/><ref name=\"PaulStillSam\"/><ref name=\"AlfStillSam\"/> with Abe\u2019s goal being to rescue her from Vykkers Labs.<ref name=\"MunchMeetsSam\"/><ref name=\"Status\"/> Sam was designed,<ref name=\"SamPic\"/> sculpted by Farzad<ref name=\"FarzadModel\"/> to be laser scanned and turened into a digital model,<ref name=\"VideoModelLorne\"/> and included in FMV storyboards.<ref name=\"Storyboards\"/> Her inclusion in the game was reported to the press as late as July 2001,<ref name=\"MunchMeetsSam\"/> but in September Microsoft announced via GameSpot that Sam was removed from the game\u2019s story.<ref name=\"NoSam\"/> Her removal, along with that of other gameplay and storyline elements, was due to ''Munch''\u2019s troubled developmental process<ref name=\"SamPress\"/> and, ultimately, having to deliver the game as a launch title for Microsoft\u2019s Xbox.<ref name=\"Polygon\"/> The only reference to Sam in the final game is a sign for Sam\u2019s Labor Eggs.<ref name=\"BookSam\"/><ref name=\"SLEMO\"/><ref name=\"SLElogo\"/>\n\nSam\u2019s appearance was put back in the pipeline,<ref name=\"AlfNotYet1\"/><ref name=\"AlfNotYet2\"/> possibly rescheduled to appear in ''Munch\u2019s Exoddus'', whose script was drafted,<ref name=\"LorneChat\"/> but put to one side for ''[[Oddworld Stranger\u2019s Wrath|Stranger\u2019s Wrath]]''.
