Stranger's Wrath Species Classification

I sent these questions to Dear Alf, but as I believe the Inhabitants are taking a much-deserved vacation, I'll post them here as well for my fellow fans to speculate over.

It's obvious that the Outlaws come in at least four distinct types: the bulldog-joweled brutes like Blisterz Booty, the hunchbacked little suckers like Filthy Hands Floyd, the hulking horned bruisers like Joe Mamma, and the upside-down-eared blokes like D. Caste Raider. Are they each separate species (in which case the folks at Oddworld have not named them), or are they castes or races of the Outlaw species?

Also, in the previous games it's been easy to classify the creatures of Oddworld as Industrial, Native, or Wildlife (the Universe section of the official website is even set up with these classifications). How do the Outlaws and Clakkerz fit into this scheme? The Clakkerz use laptops and telephones, but don't seem to be particularly despoiling the land. Could they be one of the consumer races? The Outlaws have all the nastiness of the Industrialists, but certainly aren't working in the interests of legitimate business.
