The Slig:
“Sligs are the backbone of Oddworld’s industrial security. They are also the loyal, if reluctant, henchmen of the Glukkons, or sometimes other higher societies such as the Vykkers. They are among the most common creatures in any industrial region of Oddworld.”
“Sligs were originally primitive and simple living creatures who preferred swampy regions, living in bodies of water in bogs and lakes. However when the Glukkons first encountered them, they turned out to be intelligent. Thus, the Glukkons were able to easily negotiate that if the Sligs would work for them, they could grant them robot legs for easy mobility, which they reluctantly accepted. In return for their robotic Slig Pants that grant them the ability to walk, sligs have pledged their loyalty to the Glukkon Industrialists as henchmen and bodyguards. In truth, much of the Glukkon success has been achieved by the Slig’s combat capabilities.”
