Interesting thoughts, Niteowl.
I never thought of the queens as looking after their young; I assumed the babies would be looked after by ordinary members of their own species. Although on one of the Dear Alf archives, Alf talks of his 'foster Slig'. Maybe Muds destined for industry are all brought up by Sligs and are thus indoctrinated?
I see what you mean about Maggie; though. Although the only images we've seen of her are concept ones; maybe if and when we finally see her in a game, she'll be very different. We also don't know of the existence of any other Glukk queens, so if she's the sole mother of the species, she'd have to have an incredibly high birth rate, and so the eggs might have to be quite small.
What do you mean 'cute at some stage in their life'? They are cute! Especially the Brewmaster...
