I have a theory about Queen Sam and the Females of Mudokons. You don't see many female Mudokons, but there must be some. I theorise that in traditional culture, Queen Sam lays eggs of course, but the task of females - as it is in beehives, and indeed we see the Keepers are in something like a Beehive - is to tend to the Queen and her eggs, and when they grow older, start taking care of young Mudokons as a kind of surrogate mother. When they're much older, they become more mystical. and develop shamanistic abilities. As a usually Matriarchal society, tending the queen and her young is of course a very well respected job. Abe's abilities, of course, are a sign of Mister Special. I mean, he's Mister Special anyway. Of course the Glukkons have Queen Sam constantly laying and take away her eggs and just hatch them and promptly enslave them. No need for female Mudokons looking after the lonely Queen, who is convinced her beloved babies live safe and comfortable lives. And since females are not as physically strong as males and can't do things like mine for 18 hours a day, Glukkons have found a much more profitable use for female eggs...
Can't wait to see 'er~
I'm definitely looking forward to Seeing Sam
