We like to make more sense based into the things we find, look for a deeper meaning, making the small details matter so we have a propely realistic functional oddworld universe. ;)

Abe 01, you have a point, and it definately could be just that.
But it just looks too intentional.
But then again, unless they're keeping a huge secret from us in the way of character development, it probably isn't some other character print.
But wow. I didn't think there'd be so much discussion. I thought someone would just say, "Oh, that's [insert simple explanation here]. Dave, you're an idiot." And then that would be it.

mabe just mabe theres so many moons floating around oddworld that every creature on the planet has a print on a moon.. and mabe this one has a hard to make out print?

I'd say they're either depressions in the moon, similar to Earth's, or, knowing that each 'hero' would have a moon, OWI decided to implant ambiguous symbols on some moons.

Alcar...

yeah I agree with Alcar...
I don't realy think there's something there

SUPER MEGA MOONHUNTER ODDREN presents ultimate collection of moon-shots from Stockyard Escape!

and another ones

and another of them

and the last ones!

Wow great job!

Looks like the Abe Moon is on this one too

Thanks, Xav:) 100% 4-finger moon print:)Da original!
told them before that Oddworld planet has really MANY moons - so these are for their consideration!

No, Xav, wait!
That's the moon I was talking about to begin with.
So are we going with the idea that there are two mudokon print moons?

for me there's only one moon, I don't realy see why there would be 2 of them
so here are 2 theories I don't realy believe:
- the moon moved
- you are simply at another place and have another view point

Oh, wait.
I was about to counter you when I realized that you said you didn't believe those two theories.
Bah.
So...
Are we settling on the shading thing?

One Abe's Moon, one Munch's Moon and many unprinted moons. any objections?)

It probably is shading, but I like to think its the print of an unrevealed species or an early cocnept species that was scrapped. Bu I reckon its either shading, or (this is less likely) the developers made a mistake, misplaced Abe's moon and it came out like that.
