Oozla

Oozla was a large, wild and swampy planet that was home to the Megacorp Outlet, where Megacorp merchandise could be bought at a discounted prices. Over time it became a virtual wasteland, overgrown with weeds and swampland, teeming with hostile, indigenous, and unspeakable creatures. These creatures were only kept in check by the outlet's perimeter defenses.

In Going Commando, Angela Cross deactivated the defenses when she "forgot her wallet". Without defenses, some employees became food for swamp-dwellers, and some escaped. Ratchet flew to Oozla to catch the Thief, and found a surviving Megacorp employee who sold him a Tractor Beam for 1,000 bolts. Ratchet also found a Dynamo on Oozla.

In All 4 One some critters came from Oozla.

Wildlife and Flora
Planet Oozla is an alien swampworld with many alien creatures. Besides the Megacorp Outlet on Oozla, the planet is completly wild. Most creatures are either aquatic, semiaquatic, or airborne, as it appears few are completly landwellers. Most of Oozle's wildlife is hostile to Ratchet, though a few are either helpful or neutral. Here is a list of creatures found on planet Oozle.

Enemies

 * Mutant Fireflies: Small glowing flying insects, these creatures will cut their prey with their pincers. They are easily dispatched with a single Wrench swing.
 * Fly Traps: More like a deadly obstacle then a hostile creature, neverless one should be wary. Ratchet must use the giant Venus Flytrap like plants to continue his journey as they act like platforms. However if he stands on them too long, he'll be bitten, losing health in the process.
 * Mutant Muckdwellers: These odd bouncing mammals are often found bouncing around on dry land. If they spot Ratchet they'll bounce toward him and burp toxic fumes in Ratchets face. Despite being a bit bigger than Ratchet, they take just one swing from a trusty Wrench to defeat, just like the Mutant Fireflies.
 * Mutant Swamp Beasts: These slimy snail-crustacean like creatures are the dominent predator on Oozla. They they can either be found "crawling" around dry land, or sticking out their single eye stalk out of the murking water waiting for prey to come closer, and then jump out of the water and attack. They then procead to strike Ratchet with their 4 tenticles each with their own crab like claws. The Wrench is not recommend, instead use the Lancer and Gravity Bomb to take them out. Them are spawned from the Swamp Monster II.

Bosses

 * Swamp Monster I: A large menacing creature that lurks in the swamps of Oozla. After the Megacorp Outlets defenses were shut down, it attacked and killed two Megacorp Scientists. After killing the second one, it'll come expose it's two large tenticles and it's single eye stalk. It's only form of attack is to slam those tenticles down on Ratchet. Shoot it's single eye stalk, as it can't take heavy firepower. It's most likely the male mate of Swamp Monster II.
 * Swamp Monster II: The the largest creature of all on planet Oozla, it lurks deep underground in a swamp cave right under the Megacorp Outlet. It attacks with massive pincers, horrible breath and a ugly maw. Heavy weapons such RYNO II are recommended, as this creatures hide protects it well. It's an optional boss, so you don't have to fight if you don't want to, but you won't get the Box Breaker. It is most likely the female equivalent of the Swamp Monster I.

Other Creatures

 * Oozla Swamp Dweller: These aquatic dragon like reptiles live in swamp waters of planet Oozla, grazing on some form algea. They are not hostile in anyway to Ratchet, and are in fact quite helpful navigating from one section of the swamp to the next. All Ratchet has to do is jump on their backs. However they not too bright and are very careless, after taking Ratchet across a waterey section of Oozla, they will then submerge themselves into the murky water, even if Ratchet is still on it's back. It's key to quickly exit off these creature's backs.
 * Oozlian Pterodactyls: Harmless flying reptiles found flying in the rainy skies of Oozla, they can be shot down to obtain a Skill Point.
 * Fire Red Slugnarg (encountered on planet Magnus)
 * Coastal Slugnarg (encountered on planet Magnus)
 * Dry Gulch Slugnarg (encountered on planet Magnus)
 * Purple Menace Vroktopod (encountered on planet Magnus)

 * Infected Vroktopod (encountered on planet Magnus)
