Jumping in to make sure we all noticed that answer is responding to a question specifically bringing up how Scrabs must surely 'interact peacefully in order to procreate'. Just before anyone's imagination runs away with them.

Too late.
|
Maybe Scrabs will mock-fight eachother to determine if their partner is a good match to make strong offspring? Survival of the fittest and all that. So still lots of screeching and biting, just not as much killing.
|
Pretty sure only males fight. Also, thinking about it, how the fuck do they fuck? I bet it's painful.
|
That depends what scrab genitalia looks like....0.o. Some in our animal kingdom have barbs, hook-like bits, retractable or disposable and regenerative like a slug and ...then there's the enchidna....ugh. Some females kill and/or devour the males after mating.
So maybe males scrabs fight to the death for breeding rights, and females kill off the males after mating. Animals, animals, animals oh |
Personally, I've stumbled upon a shameful reservoir of Oddworld Rule 34 that I'd quite like to forget.
On the topic of drone mudokons, the most description I've found of them is Alf answering a question regarding their appearance with, "Big eyebrows." I assume that, as drones born to facilitate genetic variation, they would probably have feathery wings to fly to other mudokon hives, or at least to serve as a courtship display. |
I think Mudokon Drones would just need a larger loincloth.
|
Since the comparison to a lot of OW species' breeding strategies are bees and ants, you'd think that most of them would be sterile female workers like with aforementioned species. The funny (or terrifying) thing is that, if mudokons are like bees, after mating the drone practically explodes off the queen, leaving some of his man parts inside her and dying paralyzed and member-less shortly after.
|
Kinky.

I really hope something like that is in any MO remaster. |
Somewhat keeping in the same vein as this thread I noticed that the majority of the skulls in Necrum - even the big, assumedly carved ones we see - have a sharp protruding and seemingly spined ridge along the centre of their skulls, so perhaps the non-drone Mudokons would have something of a large display crest and plumes of feathers. The sheer number of the skulls could also suggest that these kinds of Mudokons might've been more commonplace during the golden age of Mudokon society, but selective labor egg breeding discarded all but drones, leading to a mostly sterile Mudokon population.

Edit:
I always thought drones must be really tall. |
