That’s funny, I thought Oddworld was quite distinct from Earth and would have its own, independent evolutionary tree that has produced, at some point, what would appear to us to be a vertebrate octopus. You might as well complain about the beetle with a skeleton, the bird descendants with teeth, or—as Dipstikk loved to do—the birds with mammary-gland–indicative growths.
He loved to do the complaining about them, not he loved to do the birds.
Glukkons and Oktigi share a relatively recent common ancestor. It may be that their speciation is an important point in the backstory. Gloktigi are also related, but are supposed to be a hybrid between Glukks and Oktigi to produce a highly egotistical elite bodyguard race.
