Jak and Daxter are two elf-like friends that live on one of a group of islands. As usual with many pairs of friends, they are a truly 'odd' couple: Jak is the strong, silent type while Daxter is a seemingly endless source of wisecracks. At some point before the game begins, Daxter is hit by some Dark Eco sludge and is turned into an 'otsel' (part otter, part weasel). Generally, the dangerous Dark Eco sludge is very rare and was stored in various locations at some point in the past by the Precursors. However, there are a group of beings called the Lurkers who are trying to gather all the Dark Eco sludge in the world to turn all of the innocent elves in the world into otsels.
'''Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy''' is a 3D [[platform]]er developed by [[Naughty Dog]] and published by [[Sony Computer Entertainment America]] and is the first game in the ''{{c|Jak and Daxter}} series''. It was released exclusively for the [[PlayStation 2]] on December 4, [[2001]] in America, and for Europe and Japan in the same month. ''Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy'' spawned three sequels, ''[[Jak II]]'', ''[[Jak 3]]'' and ''[[Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier]]''. A spin-off title, ''[[Jak X: Combat Racing]]'', and a midquel, ''[[Daxter]]'', were also made.


It is up to Jak and Daxter to stop the Lurkers' evil plan and find a way to turn Daxter into his normal elf form.
==Story==
The story begins with Jak and Daxter, making their way to Misty Island, against Samos', the Green Sages, demands. After arriving, they see two people addressing an army of evil Lurkers. The duo prepare to leave, but are attacked by a large Lurker. Jak manages to destroy it using a barrel of Eco, but the explosion throws Daxter into a pool of Dark Eco. Daxter flies back out of the pit, transformed into an ottsel, a hybrid of an otter and a weasel. Returning to their village of Sandover, they seek help from Samos who states that only Gol Acheron and his sister Maia, the Sage of Dark Eco who lives far to the North, could change Daxter back.

Story[edit]

The story begins with Jak and Daxter, making their way to Misty Island, against Samos', the Green Sages, demands. After arriving, they see two people addressing an army of evil Lurkers. The duo prepare to leave, but are attacked by a large Lurker. Jak manages to destroy it using a barrel of Eco, but the explosion throws Daxter into a pool of Dark Eco. Daxter flies back out of the pit, transformed into an ottsel, a hybrid of an otter and a weasel. Returning to their village of Sandover, they seek help from Samos who states that only Gol Acheron and his sister Maia, the Sage of Dark Eco who lives far to the North, could change Daxter back.

Along the way, they find that each of the other Eco Sages have been kidnapped by Gol and Maia to power a precursor robot to take over the world and shape it, with dark eco, into their image.
