I got the impression that there was going to be a "Meechonia" type place, but when technical or time restraints cut it from the game, it was then that they were chosen to be extinct critters, thus removing their sacred status, temple and opening up the prospect for having two scars on the hand. Then again, I doubt they would have been sacred at all anyway, and that their level would merely be an obstacle between Abe and some other goal. If they were sacred, they would have been part of Shrykull, but their torso is a different shape than that of scrabs and paramites, who were designed so that they could be fused so effectively. Unless that iteration is all that meeches were, and before the scrab/paramite/shrykull thing was conceived.
