Ooamp

 

The Ooamp were an early "gender-draft" created during The Hierarchy, circa -32,406 TH. They came and departed within a single year, due to egregious error on the part of their designer.

 

History

The Ooamp are seldom spoken about in Battal, though the phrase, "beget an Ooamp" was a popular slang term among Creators from -32,405 to -31,034 TH, meaning "to make a glaring mistake."

 

The Mondowondomicon is the only surviving artifact traceable to the Ooamp. It is thought that all the secrets of their gender are contained within, however, no one since Fibrino VIII has bothered to translate the book past its first two lines. The name for the Ooamp's unibreast, the slump, derives from the second line of this book.

 

It is theorized that the Particularly Womenly Unwomen Folk may have some forgotten relation to the Ooamps.

 

Criticisms

Generally considered to be the work of a gifted but inexperienced Creator. "You could see that he had a lot of potential," said a contemporary. "There was something special there, but he hadn't quite figured out his vision. He didn't know where he was going." Recalled due to their basic inability to reproduce, and also for their total lack of any orifice, Ooamp attracted some critical attention but did not have the mass appeal of his later work. "With women, you could see things were really starting to come together for him," said long-time companion Ted. "We were all really excited to see where he was headed. Sadly, that all ended with the subsequent breakdown and eventual commitment to the asylum. A real tragedy. I still get misty-eyed when I think of what he could have done if his career wasn't cut so short."

 

Appearance on Wizbits

The "Last Ooamp" appeared in the ElamenSTAR episode "Elemenstors in a Pinch!" It was then slated to be the title character of the Wizbits episode, A Big Mistake, but the idea was scrapped at the last moment and replaced by a recycled animation of an ambulatory dresser. However, to the great expense of collectors everywhere, the Triple-Hyper-Rare Last Ooamp (Card) made it into the 1999 Wizbits CCG Origins Genesis expansion.
