They're barely overlooked because everyone talks about them so much. I think it's more likely they were just thrown into those two levels as one of those hidden special things were were put into the game, like the hint flies at the start of the Mudokon Pens and the 'The Wall' parody in the Boiler Room. However, it would be nice if there was an explanation as to their being there. I personally think it's because parts of the wilderness are prone to flooding, but I digress.
By overlooked characters I'm positive OWI are referring to characters and species we've already looked at and have disguarded as having any significance in the future, but who actually will impact the storyline in future games. I could give examples, but I know how nasty it is to have future plots revealed - it's like the early hype for MO ruining what we actually got. Especially since OWI are keeping absolutely everything under wraps right now.
