Interesting observation, caracal. I'd say it's a bug, but your theory of the Scrab thinking it had killed the leader of a tribe and somehow 'adopted' the Mudokons is a fascinating one, and I love your idea of the Mudanchee sacrificing one of their own (possibly even their actual leader) to live among the Scrabs for a while.
Of course, following that logic, wouldn't Scrabs then accept Abe or a Slig as their leader if they came along and killed the Alpha Scrab of that herd. Maybe the death has to be the result of a one-on-one struggle for the ordinary Scrabs to accept it as valid, or else only the Alpha Scrabs have such a strong "herd" instinct.
