Hmmm. It never fails. Whenever there is an interesting new topic I miss it until everything I was going to say has already been said (at least the prehistoric oddworld topic was an exception).
I do have some things to say about Guardians. I agree with the idea that they were at least semi-intelligent creatures who for some reason owed something to the mudokons. They wouldn't just protect Necrum for the heck of it so I think they got something from the mudokons. Perhaps they fed off of the spiritual energy, or spooce, that the temple was undoubtably full of.
As for their "holes". My theory is that they are liquivores. That means they use a retractable proboscis to dissolve and suck up their food. The straw-like tongue would pull back into the hole. Sort of like flies.
