Hope this is the right place to post this...
I'm noticing in previews for New n Tasty that Abe seems to be the only Mudokon worker with the feather-like pony tail thing this time around. The rest so far appear to be bald headed. Is this because the game isn't finished, or is it a deliberate thematic change?

From a VG247 interview with Lorne in October 2012.
“I wanted that, so we went back and forth. There was another thing I wanted but we haven’t gone into too much detail with was Abe’s little ponytail. One of the things I noticed from fishing – which is my first love – is that I would see the same species of fish looking very different depending on the quality of the water it lived in.”
“I later learned that you could take that fish and put it in better water, then after an amount of time it would change back into that beautiful thing. Now we get to Abe, and the Mudokon. In Rupture farms they are grey, their ponytails have shrunken.”
“But as they start getting healthy, being around trees, eating organic food instead of processed, and just finding themselves again, the real colour starts to come back, and their hair grows long."
Stew also mentioned it in a podcast but I cannot seem to find it.
So either Abe has a ponytail because he enjoys more comforts being employee of the month and a floorwaxer or perhaps because he's more in tap with Mudokon spirituality than the others.
