Nah...the finger thing was due to Japanese culture having a thing against four fingered characters. I think when OWI released AO they didn't know about this until after the fact. So when they made AE they changed the number of fingers on the muds. If you play the backstory FMV on MO you can see they edited out the forth finger on the muds in most of the FMV sequences that took place in AO.
Here is something interesting though...the sligs have kept their four fingers...I guess that's because they are 'bad guys'. Hmm..but what if we get a slig hero? Will they have to cut off one of their fingers too? *picks up a cleaver* HEY ZIG! GET OVER HERE!
Zig: Hell no! *bolts into the canopy where it is safe*
Darn...should have been more sutle....
