Like many Earth cultures, the Mudokons believe that wild animals are connected to this spirit world, but that in evolving the way they have, they have lost their own connection. They revere animals and nature, and take psychotropic substances like Spooce, to try and connect with the spirit world. This is animism, which doesn’t preclude a religion based on deities, but doesn’t by itself. While official texts refer to Shrykull as a god, it seems to me to be more of a spirit representation. Or perhaps Mudokons get by just fine with both spirits and gods.
