Well the key to my survival
Was never in much doubt
The question was, how I could keep sane
Trying to find a way out?
Things were never easy for me
Peace of mind was hard to find
And I needed a place where I could hide
Somewhere I could call mine
I didn't think much about it
'Til it started happening all the time
Soon I was living with the fear everyday
Of what might happen that night
I couldn't stand to hear the crying
Of my mother, and I remember when
I swore that that would be the last they'd see of me
And I never went home again
They say that time is a healer
And now my wounds are not the same
I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth
I had to hear what he'd say
He sat me down to talk to me
He looked me straight in the eyes
He said
"You're no son, you're no son of mine"
"You're no son, you're no son of mine"
"You walked out, you left us behind"
"And you're no son, you're no son of mine"
Oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it
And as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it
"You're no son, you're no son of mine"
But where should I go and what should I do?
"You're no son, you're no son of mine"
But I came here for help, oh I came here for you
Well the years they passed so slowly
I thought about him everyday
What would I do, if we passed on the street
Would I keep running away?
In and out of hiding places
Soon I'd have to face the facts
We'd have to sit down and talk it over
And that would mean going back
They say that time is a healer
And now my wounds are not the same
But I rang that bell with my heart in my mouth
I had to hear what he'd say
He sat me down to talk to me
He looked me straight in the eyes
He said
"You're no son, you're no son of mine"
"You're no son, no son of mine"
"When you walked out, you left us behind"
"And you're no son, you're no son of mine"
Oh, his words how they hurt me
I'll never forget it
And as the time, it went by
I lived to regret it

About Muckle Eggs

In a similar fashion to Yeep and Skreel eggs, Muckle eggs are found deep within Ark's various sewer systems.

Unlike that of Yeeps, Muckle eggs have a permeable membrane which allows sewage to seep through for nutritional value. As a result, Muckle hatched in sewers are stained with a horrid stench that is very difficult to disperse.

About the Muckle Creature

Discovered by a crew of sewer maintenance workers, Muckles express a very placid, although often timid, disposition when making contact with humans.

Very little information on the Muckle's biology exists due to the species' recent emergence. However, the Science and Research Center has discovered that the Muckle's DNA sequence is peculiarly composed of bits and pieces of genetic material from other existing creatures on Ark.

Origin of the Muckle

"Disgusting," lamented the doctor as he examined the end result of toiling for countless hours in the laboratory. Reaching out, he carefully poked the small amorphous figure before him with his gloved index finger. The creature recoiled in fright and whimpered softly. Frustrated but intrigued, the doctor scooped up the living blob into his cupped left-hand and brought it to eye level.

"This is not what I had hoped to achieve. You are a failed experiment; a mistake of my own doing. Yet, I cannot bring myself to destroy you. For being such an unnatural life-form, nature itself must make the final judgement of your fate."

The creature intensified its wriggling movements, forcing the doctor to tighten his grip around it. Careful not to let the disappointing creation slip away, he steadily approached the laboratory's sink.

"You might have a place in this world," the doctor calmly reassured while he unplugged the large rubber stopper from the sink drain, hovering the terrified blob over the seemingly bottomless opening, "Rest assured that you have no place in mine."
