Of course, Abe will convince Stranger to let him go, and when Stranger is captured, Abe returns the favor and helps free him, resulting in him joining the main heroes for the remainder of the series.

Much of the history of how the Mudokons became enslaved was left ambiguous throughout the series, the closest explation we got was that the Mudokons started to work for the Glukkons until they were enslaved. However, with the implications of Abe's shock of learning some truth and The Keeper's pleas for Abe's forgiveness in Soulstorm. It seems like the ancient Mudokons were the ones who betrayed their own people and sold them to the Industrial races as cheap labour; possibly hinting at a more darker alliance that the Mudokons had with their Glukkon neighbors.

As it stands, the plot point of Abe reuniting with his mother was a planned story element as far back as Munch but they never had a chance to include it. It could also give a chance to give Munch another chance to shine for the series.

* Updated info relates that Squeek uses creatures called "brain slurgz" that latch onto a victim's brain and allow them to be controlled. It is very possible that this means that, unlike Abe and Munch, he will be able to for a small army of controlled creatures. Neat.

I was always under the impression that Stranger was a runt. If you look at the Steef heads mounted in Sekto's office, there are two sets of horns: a small set on the forehead and the larger ones further back on the head. Stranger not only has no horns, he doesn't even have stubs where the horns would be. The Grubs comment on how he looks quite scrawny for a Steef. A race that revered Steefs as their guardians would probably be able to recognize a female Steef, so that WMG seems unlikely. It’s hard to tell, but Stranger appears to be fully grown (and if he expected to grow more, he probably would have waited to get that surgery until after his legs were completely developed), and compared to the other Steefs we do see, he’s quite small.

Not only do we never see the signature horns that a Steef is supposed to have on Stranger, we never see the slightest traces of horns. The other races seen in Stranger's Wrath aren't very sexually dimorphic... Stranger might just be a she.

* All we know is that "Squeek has some connection with symbiosis and to be low in the food chain". It's obvious to assume he's a small symbiont organism that latches itself to other bigger creatures(akin to Abe's spiritual possession and Munch's electronic radar control), but... maybe not. Maybe he's a big herbivore, which would make him the lowest possible in the food chain. Possibly, Squeek's symbionts grant him different abilities, and he's the key to save multiple species of smaller and weaker species that cannot survive alone.
