But Zug probably doesn’t care about just one person. Doesn’t the underdog bias still require a way to “get off the ground” in this scenario? Siding with Urk initially flies in the face of individual selection.
Zug can be only slightly more powerful than Urk to start with, and then as more individuals have the adaptation, the power difference it’s willing to confront will scale. I.e. this sounds like it could evolve incrementally.

Ah, makes sense. The modern bias seems specifically connected to major differences, but that doesn’t exclude milder origins.
