Why are all Mudokons male? Are there female Mudokons?
All Mudokons we’ve seen so far have been sexless workers with no reproductive organs or behaviour.5: ‘Reproduction Model’ They are gender neutral,6 but they have typically male names and voices that will emphasize the importance of female Mudokons when we eventually see them.7:11 The Mudokon race is matriarchal, with a small number of queens doing all the reproducing for the entire species, much like similarly eusocial bee, ant, and wasp colonies on Earth.8 Also, there is currently only one Mudokon queen alive: Sam, who was intended to make her début in Munch’s Oddysee.9 She is being held captive by the Vykkers and forced to lay Mudokon eggs that are sold as unborn slaves.
