[Sal the Mudokon]

Is it confirmed that the Gloctigi is a glukkonish creature? Because I still see it as GREAT Skillya material. Just because it's in a pic with a glukkon and some of it's evolutionary relatives (or whatever they are) doesn't mean that the Gloctigi can't still be related to sligs. It fits ALL of the qualifications. It looks more sliglike than glukkonlike.

Sorry for going off topic.

BTW... good theories guys. But what if it went like this? There are TWO species Xs. For the sake of simplicity, we'll call the other ones "Species BLACK"... yeah, that sounds cool. Nowhere does it say that they led ONE species.
Okay, now with the other theories, War starts, Glukkons come out from underground with premature technologies, and are VERY outnumbered by Species X and its Mudokon generals. They are barely making ends meet with their few allies, one of which being the Vykkers. Had they had more time, they could have done something more technological, but all they had was they're resources: lesser animals, some easily accessible minerals, etc. This is where the Glukkons use a strategy that they will try again, but THIS TIME, it works. They start giving free meals to Species X. Species X soon becomes addicted to these foods and becomes...well, very gluttonous, in the sense of the word. They crave more and more of whatever it is that the glukkons have. They don't care where they get it. They don't care what they have to do for it.
Now, as for Species Black, being the cowardly fools they are, pulled out of the deal just in time to avoid slavery. They, instead become the cruel taskmasters of the to-be Mudokon slaves that we all know and love. They're poor weapons skills come in handy, as the Sligs.
All of a sudden the Glukkons are pressed with a problem, they must keep Species X from getting up and revolting against them. The Glukkons must keep the food flowing. They soon enslave the remaining Muds... blady blady bla, you know the rest.
NOW, FAST FORWARD TO... NOW!
As we all know (or should know), Abe and his freedom buddies little adventure is going to come to a climax in the BIG CITY. Now who lives in the BIG CITY? Why the Kanzumers (Species X), of course! Now what would happen if Abe, Munch, Squeek, Nod, and ... the other guy liberated the Kanzumers!? THEY'RE PROBLEMS WOULD BE OVER! They would attack the glukkons, the glukkons wouldnt be killing the animals and so on and so forth. Don't you like a happy ending? Me niether.
