      Actually, Lorne didn't tell us this personally. While we were visiting OWI we watched a TV feature on Oddworld which had originally aired in the G4 Network. If anyone here is in the US and subscribes to digital cable they would have been able to find out this information a couple of months back, but it looks like no one ever saw this show.
      Originally it was going to be in the Abe's Exoddus opening FMV, but it got cut due to time contraints. You also mentioned that it was a "well known fact" that the moon had always had the Mudokon paw print on it. In reality, this "fact" was only structured upon off of a vague mention on the old Oddworld site. This was never a "confirmed fact." Sorry to burst everyone's comfortable bubble.
      The original reason this happened was to demonstrate the "greater powers at be. " Whether or not you believe in that sort of thing is irrelevant... to those who know, it makes perfect sense. You can think of it as the fates that control Abe's destiny.
