Mordrem Frogs - mimicry or corruption?

Up until now, we’ve only seen modrem created in the vague likeness of other Tyrian races. Mordremoth has shown neither ability nor inclination to corrupt already existing creatures.

But now we have mordrem that very closely resemble other species, to the extent that they have precisely the same special abilities (and often extras on top) and will even make vocal taunts in the same voice as their fleshy doubles.

Are the new mordrem actually corrupted versions of the jungle wildlife, or has Mordremoth just gotten a lot better at mimicry?

The events around the Auric Basin blighting tree as well as the second story instance in HoT makes it fairly clear that every mordrem is a “clone”. So it’s just that he got better at cloning.

As we see with Logan and Zojja, whomever you save second has a bunch of clones made. They all share the original’s abilities and look almost human/asura in appearance, with just a bark covering of skin, much like saurian and hylek mordrem.

Zojja’s even speak, with the exact same voice as Zojja.

Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

They are imitations. Mordy cannot corrupt animals so instead he kills them, uses them as fertilizer for his plants and shapes these plants in likeness of living things.
