YEs, Pinky, the green mudokon is not a Tomahawker
YET. But after he is zapped by that blue lightning bolt from the shrine that Abe has activated, he is "upgraded" into a Tomahawker.
That's how you will be able to "create" new characters in the game. You won't just create them from nothing. You will instead upgrade different existing characters to a higher status, depending of what upgrading device you will be using. In the example above, Abe is using a shrine to create Tomahawkers.
