Oddworld Names : Origin

OK, I really would like to know how OWI got to the names of the species and the characters. I looked some things up myself and found interesting things. I guess we best take one name after another. If you think you know the origin of the name, then go ahead:

1. We'll start with Mullock:

this is what I found in a dictonary:

MOLLUSK: (mol'esk), n. any invertebrate of the phylum Mullusca comprising the chitons, snails, bivalves, squids, octopuses, etc., typically having a calcareous shell of one, two, or more pieces that wholly or partly encloses the soft, unsegmented body...

the part of the octopus is the most interisting, since glukkons ar part of the octi-family

So MOLLUSK -> Molluck

If you agree , disagree, or know more, please add your thoughts on 'Molluck'. If nobody knows anything extra, we could move on to another name.
