1. Does anyone here have any idea what Sam looks like?
2. Is she the only Mudokon female in existence, outside of fanfics?
3. If not, is she the only one who can lay eggs?
4. Which begs the question -- are there drone (i.e., functional male) Mudokons?

If I recall correctly, Mr. Lanning did say that he based the sentinent races of Oddworld on the 'super species' -- namely, ants, bees, termites and the like. It would make sense to me that there would be more females ('queens', if you will) and drones, too. How many ants would there be if there was only one queen in existence at a time? Or no drones? Not many, I'd wager, especially given the propensity of humans to exterminate the little buggers.

As for 'giving birth' and 'unborn brothers' -- I was under the impression that these were distinctly mammalian terms. Maybe it should be 'laid' and 'unhatched brothers', respectively. (And yes, I can be annoying. Mwuah.)
