Hey Rettick, I had the same theory about Mudukon colour... Exept I bassed mine on the fact that birds equal health and when Abe gets birds for the purposs of becoming a Shrykull he gets a blue flashing ring around himself that might indercate super health that he can burn off in one go to become a Shrykull... But hey, as you implied its only a theory.
But back to the question... I think that because the movie at the begining of AO was OWI first moive (and posibly biggest project at that stage) they could only budgit for one or two Mudukons to be moddeled for the CG moives, Abe and/or Bigface. So when they made the beginning moive with the slaves, which probly was made before they thought much about gameplay and the confusion from one coloured Muds, they just used Abes moddel, colour and all... Again, I don't know for sure.
