Tav is able to establish a brain bond with other party members, right? Has anyone ever noticed such a thing happening without Tav, e.g. Wyll and Gale having a brain bond? If Tav´s tadpole is the only one that is able to do that, wouldn´t that make Tav´s tadpole the alpha tadpole? It would be the easiest solution to the leadership problem, as it is applicable to any protagonist you happen to play. Yup, it´s the old Chosen One scheme.
Only a slight tweak to the opening scenes is needed: obviously the prime tadpole needs to taken from a special, gold rimmed goldfish bowl by mr/mrs/ms squidface before it is brought to creep in your eye socket.
