The Oddities were a professional wrestling stable in the WWF. The Jackyl formed the group in 1998 and called them "The Parade of Human Oddities." The group consisted of "freakish" wrestlers, including the masked Golga (whose mask had stubby 'horns' on top, thus making him look deformed), the towering Kurrgan and Giant Silva, and Howard Stern Show regular Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf. Under the leadership of the Jackyl, the Oddities were a fearsome group of heels though they did not win any titles.

However, Jackyl soon left the Oddities to become the manager of Hell's Henchmen (later renamed The Acolytes). Sable reintroduced the Oddities in a more respectable light, and they were now portrayed as fun loving faces in spite of their "freakish" appearances. Their new entrance music was sang by Insane Clown Posse, who also accompanied them to the ring for their matches. For a brief period, they were joined by George "The Animal" Steele, who was referred to as the "original Oddity."
