I liked Munch. I thought his characterization was a bit lacking, but he was very "ugly cute", which sums up Oddworld pretty well.
Mudokons are the most humanoid (comparatively, anyway), but that's the point. When you present a humanless narrative, you have to have a few very human characters for the audience to relate to. That considered, I don't think the Mudokons are too humanoid. They could have gone full Na'vi with their design, but they took a risk and kept them a little ugly, ensuring their congruity with the rest of Oddworld's denizens.
