I don't know for sure, but I don't think it's coincidence. Owzer looks bizarrely different from anything else in the entire game. He's at least twice as big as any other human character in the game, and he doesn't even really look human (he has no nose and his eyes are big and oblong). I remember when I first got to where he was, I was fixated on how strange he looked, and then I realized he looked like Jabba the Hutt. But I forgot all about that, and I guess it's because that's only one brief part of the game.
