[Sal the Mudokon]

yeah abes color in AO is different than his color in AE and MO, which where very similar. I read that a mud's color can be affected VERY MUCH by his surrounding. Cave dwellers such as blind, mining mudokons become very pale. Native mudokons look like an entirely different race than the worker muds. I think that his lightening in tone from the first game to the next to is because of not having to deal with so many gases and chemicals. Abes becoming more native, only resembling his former self by the stitches on his lips. in AE muds could show emotion by spurts of bright colors. We know that many octopus species and cuddle fish have this same ability. As for abe's dopier look, the designers wanted him to look dopier, simple, and as for his smoother features...puberty. Im betting its been about a year since the whole RF and SSB fiasco and he's about 17. Maybe its about time we show Abe the "What is Happening to My Body" slide show that we all watched in Junior High?
