Is the fact that Gabbiwogs need to take a dip into the Spawning Grounds to develop lungs simply Mudokon folklore? Because what it seems is that Gabbits haven't gone to Ma'Spa for centuries, perhaps mellinias.
What makes you say this? We haven’t seen Ma’Spa or the Spawnin’ Springs for real, only two pieces of concept art that don’t exactly correlate. We don’t know how long Sekto Springs Dam has been there, but since there are Grubbs that can still remember when the water was free and Steef were running about, it can’t be more than a few decades. Munch is two Gabbits years old, and he has lungs, so assuming a dip in the Spawnin’ Springs really is necessary for lung development, access to and from there must have been possible very recently.

What seems weird to me is that a specific location is actually required for Gabbits to develop their lungs. Can someone more knowledgeable in zoology than me offer any explanations? All I can think of is that the waters there are warmer or richer in nutrients.
