Fantastic posts with some brilliant ideas, it appears some memories are foggy though.



This creature doesn't have skin. That doesn't rule out the possibility of it being an 'official' Atlan grown soldier, but I'm more inclined to believe we never see an example of one of the pre-war soldiers Natla sent after the other two to empty the pyramid and give her time for her experiments. Cinematically it also makes sense to show an example of her abominations rather than an unrelated pre-war soldier, and the camera does focus on it a lot.

To answer why they are there; Natla's imprisonment is post-war, and the other two now control her creations even if they detest them. Her army is a slaughter heap, but it appears they left a few alive once they were under control as they were useful. (and if they are as effective hunters as Natla says, the original army may be mostly dead.) They seem to have taken a pair each, and put the rest in charge of guarding Natla's scion piece.

Tihocan also doesn't wear a mask or voice modulator as it seems only Qualopec was crippled. His face is exposed just like Natla as you can see when he turns to the mutant to give the order, and he speaks clearly. He does appear to be wearing some kind of sunglasses/visor though, there's a clear surface with horizonal lines of green light floating infront of his eyes, but no frames or attachment. It's just hard to make out because the pair are backlit for most of the cutscene to keep them in darkness so you focus on Natla.
