I wish I knew what that was too. It is obviously a glukkon in a robe with a strange device over its mouth, but that dosn't give us much to work with. This is one we will probably have to leave to Max.
P.S. If Max dosn't know I'll post some strange theory about what that is and everyone here will tear my idea apart and prove it to be obsolete.
THE GUY WEARING ROBES LOOKS LIKE HE'S GOT A NOSE. AND THE STRANGE DEVICE ON THE OTHER GUYS FACE MIGHT BE TO COVER UP THE NOSE SO IT'S FLAT AND THE VYKKERS PUT IT IN FOR THEM...
Looks very cool... Very Mudukon like. The standing Glukon even has a tatoo on his lowwer arm. Also its Legs look beefed up enuff to use like arms (holding things ect.).
Im not sure but I think that picture is when the Glukkons go throught there "Alechemy Age", and I think that the Glukkon on the right would be the equvilant to a Poser Mudokon and the one of the left would be the equivalent to a Shaman Mudokon?

This production design image is one of the first sketches done of Glukkons. The image of the Glukkon on the right is a Glukkon without it's big suit on. Remember Molluck in the good ending of A.O.
Don't read too much into the small costumed Glukkon. This is just a exploratory piece that never got anywhere. Oddworld releases many of it's pre production images to our fans because they are so "art" oriented.
