Concept developement is a long, interesting journey. Lots of things happen during the creative process. Ideas create new ones or fuse with ones already existing. For example the fuzzle was porbably based off of the early fleech designs. And the Almighty Raisin was never really intended to be a character, Lorne just loved a concept of something else so much that he created the elderling.
As far as the meetle sketch goes. Apparently at that stage in developement the meetles were ment to be an industrial creature that attacked with it's tail. Somehow the the meetle became a large beetle type animal which grew from a larvae. The mug is another form the same larvae can grow into. My guess is that this meetle design was combined with some other, creating the meetles and mugs we know today.
