LittleBigPlanet 3[]

OddSock lives in the great swamp of Manglewood, its rolling green banks the perfect spot for a madcap run through the world of Bunkum.

But when Marlon Random arrives on the scene with a new hero asking for help, they join Sackboy and sets off on their greatest adventure yet.

  • In the two earliest known versions of LittleBigPlanet 3, OddSock originally gonna be called 'Rusk' who has two designs in two versions of the game, in the early version, took the form of a blue, squirrel-like character named 'Rusk'. Not much is known about Rusk other than the fact that she was female and could be ridden by Sackboy, she appears in the alpha version of LittleBigPlanet 3 as a Wolf with red clothing, and then Rusk was eventually replaced with OddSock.[2]
  • Oddsock can wall jump which is not a new concept in the games, In LittleBigPlanet 2, the DC Comics Premium Level Pack was made, which gave Sackboy along with the Hero Cape, gave him the wall jump tweeker, and wall jump material, which allowed sackboy to jump and slide on surfaces. The pack costed money but Oddsock costs nothing but the game price itself. In other words, Sumo Digital reused a concept.
