I always pictured the young Mudokons, Sligs and Glukkons as being more like baby chicks than young songbirds as the huge queens really can't look after helpless babies........Being able to run around, help themselves to food, run from danger and only need supervision to keep them out of trouble..At some point, I'd think they'd need to be toilet trained...And schooled in whatever propaganda appropiate for their species.....Maybe they use teaching machines similar to the shrinks?
I imagined baby muds being born approximately the size and developmental stage of a three or four year old human. Maybe needing a few months in a grow out facility until they can be sent out to start work in factories...
The concept art of Maggie- she looks big enough to drop the Glukkons nearly fully grown...I sort of hoped the Gluks would be cute at some stage in their life....
I imagined the young Gluks would have some use of those hind legs in order to scamper out of the way when caretakers come in to clean up... Kind of like 'training wheels' until they learn to walk on their hands...
