Well obviously, they added limbs to Betilla to make her hotter, duh!

Do you mean other creatures/beings or Rayman's specie itself?

Maybe they added the limbs because they finally could. And of course if we are talking about the Origin nymphs, I don't think they wouldn't be as "hot" without limbs... :P

Due to the influence of limbfulness(?) that R2 established, now i hope that many of the creatures of R1 have limbs, such as Mr. Sax, the actual factual Mr. Dark, Space Mama, Skops, the Cheatau clowns, moths, etc...
Of corse the redesigned livingstones are testament to that, that 'mundane'(?) denizens/enemies are given limbs and that its canon & all that jazz (and as some lil nod, when rayman in some future game remembers his R1 guys not having limbs but in reality, due to ray's nostalgia/simple memory bias?, (nothing more! ;) ) he just remembers those bosses/enemies as being limbless, just idk in my case, so i can be okay with regular beings from R1 appearing limbless and junk! Sucks that Pink Planks were the only large limbful things)

I think its still pretty sweet the Stone men were kept limbless, because i'd like to think they are just animated (brought to life) rock elementals that have floating parts because, errg, same reason as that show Avatar? Anyway i do feel that if, for example if a still limbless Space Mama or those cute moths from Band Land are brought back for a future game, it would just come off as them being out of place mystical/magical compared to the established cast, so i hope the foretold Mr. Dark reappears with limbs! (though the original did look like his cloak had arms to be fair) A wild card for me here is rayman's species individuals like Musician/Tarayzan, will they turn out to be teensies? And Joe too, hope he is either kept originally or added limbs, depending on the nature of his ET kind :)

Aaand one last thing, I wonder how those limbless frogs from R2, along with that General with the Grolgoth add up to the original citizens of rayman's home Valley?
