It does sound like mudokons breed the same way ants do. There's always been some speculation as to whether or not Sam is the only queen or not. She's certainly the only Mud queen we know about. And I think I remember somewhere Lorne was quoted as saying the main species of oddworld were all based on insects. Speaking of which, does it look like Steef are the first mammals we've seen on Oddworld?
EDIT: Intelligent mammals. Meeps at least are probably mammals too.

Wow. I went through all those posts to say this:
Fuzzles look like mamals as well, and must be resonably inteligent.
However, I have gone through the rest of the posts as well and the latest that I can effect is probably this.

The Magog Cartel clearly wants to prolong the lifespan of the Mudokon Queen, as they have her tended to by a whole track of Shrinks (pun intended). How long she lives is a mystery to me, but I'd imagine she'd live longer than most Mudokons.

An average bee drone, when not killed prematurely and just worn out, would like to be about one year old - or five, I can't remember which. An average queen bee has the estimated life span of a human. If the mudokons were scaled up Bees, Sam might live to be about - find me a calculator, I'm not doing maths on the holidays - 20 x 75 (Or thereabouts) is 1 500 years, or 4 (20/5, instead of 20/1) um, 4 x 75 is 300 years. However, keep in mind (As I'm sure most of you have) that this is only if the muds were scaled up bees and that the life span of a shrink is an indicator that either the Magog are expecting more or Sam's life span is very, very large.
