Uh... Sligs. They're probably aboreal (Tree-dwelling), with only their two muscled limbs to support them. In the slig barracks of AE, you see them squirming across the floor, showing that their hands are not good at handling flat floors. Their tentacles would be good at handling items for eating or transport while their limbs moved them.

- that was a theory doing the rounds waaay back before Stranger weas ever announced - I remember it, I think I instigated it. Nice to see someone sharing the same idea.
Mudokon teeth - they could simply be loose and fall out when the body decomposes.
Or maybe they make false ones to cope with all the fast food Glukkons try and feed them.
And Dipstikk - you're right about the dinosaur analogy. Recent research seems to show that the famed velociraptor "killing claw" was too blunt to slash through meat the way it's so often depicted doing (it's only sharp at the top - they made a to-scale mockup and the claw just made little holes in the meat), and they think it was used more for HOLDING. Someone said it's "palaentologists postulating from bony evidence without actually experimenting if it's possible". So just because you have bones, that's no indication your hypothesis works.
