In the first cutcene Abe says:
"The GLukkons dident want any one to what they where digging up, and nowan ever did."
And: "They used blind ones, who culdent see."

Then why are there like only 17 blind mudons in there of 75?
That does not cumpute. Sure the "real" awnser is, that its no fun to have only blind mudokons in the game, so they made em all "nonblind" to be able to run levels and escape and show the different temperment... But besides the game creation fact. Why does Abe say it then?

Don't know, but you're right, it does seem rather contradictory. If I was to make a guess, I'd say that the Glukkons, eager to get production under way following the closure of RuptureFarms, put speed as a greater priority than security, and so while there are Mudokons with their eyes already removed, there are plenty that haven't yet been ordered to visit the Eyestich 2000.

Tecnecly I dont think the actualy remove the eyes. Just stich up the lids. Cuas there still is a big bubble under the blind muds eyelids... I'd say that you could take a pair of sisors and remove the stiches...

Oh, Why are they so pail, or white colord( the blind ones)?

I disagree. I reckon they remove the eyeballs totally, and stich the lids together (stuffing them with something) so that they don't look too repulsive... Think how many interesting products might require Mudokon Eyeballs as ingredients... Maybe they're a delicacy...

Are you kidding? Mudokon eyes make excellent marbles!

Although some people in General Discussion seem to find them tasty.

well I think it's like this:
lots of normal mud are in the mines but are not directly by the bones.
there is a restricted number of blind muds by the bones.
when one blind dies, they pic up a normal mud, use Eyestich 2000 and put him by the bones.

that's my theory

yeah, xavier is right!
by the way they don't remove mud's eyes!abe has stiched lips because he talked a lot or so he wouldn't talk.but they didn't cut his tongue or something,they just stiched his lips!they do the same thing to those mud's only with eyes!get it now?

So they just put normal muds there for backup? That's the most sensible answer to this thread so far.


I think Xav's right on the ball in this discussion.

I want to add something, it's official that the eyes are not removed.
They found as escuse to close her eye because so they aren't hurt.
