ok so if that isnt true then is it safe to say that aside of being swamp dewellers could sligs be seen in trees as well.?:fuzconf:

It can be a possibility.
I think someone love that theory very much :fuzsmile:

see what i think if you look at the structure of the slig there hands ar very massive and muxcular compared to there body size this may suggest that they could be arboreal using there hands to climb up trees. another theory i thought up was the fact that sligs resemble a good amount of a hermit crab out of its shell so i thought that sligs may take shells from dead creatures and wear it for there own protection. both of these theories could be true.:fuzsmile:

Maybe sligs want to work with the glukkons. Maybe they sit in the forests hoping that the glukkons would come and pick them up. Maybe sligs are born, then shipped to any farm that there is a space available.

well from what we know Skillya is the Queen that produces sligs for the Glukkons. However if they were wild i dont think they would want Glukkons to find them. Sligs in the industrial world dont know anything but to serve the Glukkons and of course whatever else they do. I dont believe wild ones would like to live the way the industrial sligs do.:fuzsmile:

You never know. Living out in the forest would be prettyy boring.

maybe you are bored to stay home.
I think it's a good idea to send you to work in a big factory.
:fuzconf:
nope, I don't think so

yes Xavier is right i dont think they would want to work in a factory. when they could be peaceful and left alone in the wild.

They don't get to bash or shoot mudokons in the wild do they? These sligs are mean. MEAN I SAY!! MEAN!!!

Calm down General. we must remeber that wild Sligs have no influnce to hurt any one thus bashing creatures is not there craving.:fuzblink:

MEAN!!

Yeah, I suppose you're right.

Hahaha:lol: :lol: :lol: :D im sorry but i can just imagine the general yelling MEAN!!! and thenyea i suppose your right. your one funny guy general.:D

You think i'm funny? ODDBODD is funny.



MEAN!

mean? are you shure?
sligs only do what they are asked to.
and they are paid by glukkons; so of cource they are saddists.

I do not believe that Native Sligs live in swamps. I believe that people are misunderstanding OWI here. OWI said that Sligs were descended from slug-like creatures living in swamps. They didn't say that native sligs still lived there. Sligs are descended from Slugs in the same way that Mudokons are descended from Birds, and Native Muds aren't the same as Birds, are they? Can you see what I'm saying here? I agree with Rach and Abby, that Sligs are arboreal creatures.

I have just thought of a new idea as to what the sligs' masks are for. What if they are simply to record and transmit what the sligs are seeing, so that Glukkons can check up on what their employees are up to. If you think about it, that would make it easier to catch employees who break rules or slack off, and it would also mean that they could be quicker to send reinforcements if one of the guards is attacked, as the masks would act as moving security cameras, so the guards wouldn't have to waste time radioing for help. It would also explain why Glukkons are so adamant that sligs should keep their masks on at all times...

Yeah thats a good idea Danny but I don't think the Glukkons would spend nearly enough just to see how well a Slig is working. Glukkons couldn't care less about a Sligs work ethic, thats why most Sligs apply for gaurd posts that are really remote, so they can slack off and sleep. Although what you said could be possible?

As far as the Arboreal idea goes it is very possible that it is true. And that was my first impression. But there still remains a question of what had enfluenced the wild sligs to do so. I say this because not all species will take to the trees for any old reson. Perhaps there was a time were native sligs were forced to go to the trees because of a natural predator.:fuzconf:

yes thank you Dragadon. And yes if you look at a slig (wild one) they are rather defensless wich is why i came to that theory that the find the trees as refuge.

I'm not so sure. If you think about it, the costs of having little cameras fitted would be tiny compared to what they'd make in increased productivity and a faster response time...

Yeah but Glukkons really don't care about anything. If theres something that will help them earn more money and they don't have to do any real work to do it the Glukkons will have it done, but if it involves any sort of real work at all then the Glukkons will just forget about it. Heck, the Glukkons don't even teach Sligs how to use there firearms properly.

Glukkons like the easiest way into things and the easiest way out. as long as they getwhat they want they will be satisfied and they dont care who they hurt in this processes.

Maybe the mask is to make them see better. It's a possibility...

yes to see better possibly night vision heat sensor i dont know but something along those lines

Rachel's already covered that possibility...

well, only bigbro's have night vision heat sensor.
normal worker class not, remember you can hide in the shadows, and they can't see you

yes thats right Xavier. So can we put this subject to rest or are there anymore theories or disputes?:fuzconf:

sligs aren't the only guards!what about greeters,interns,snoozers...?

well greeters and snoozers are robots.
interns are only for the Vykker coglomeration

Greeters aren't firstly designed to be a guard, it's a marketing machine.
Snoozers aren't guards, they are only use the anestesies.

But you are right about the interns, altought there first role is to be nurces for the Vykkers

Greeters aren't guards, like Xavier said. They were originally public relations robots which mysteriously started attacking customers. So they were shipped to different factories to work as security devices.

Snnoozers are not really guards either. Do to their size and armament, I think that the vykkers use them to capture large creatures without killing them.

Interns are employed as guards by the vykkers only. They also do other jobs. After all, they aren't called interns for nothing.

Not even sligs are an entirely "security guard species". They have other jobs as well although the majority of them do get trained as guards for the Magog Cartel.

some sligs can be managers, others can be newcasters or valet.
much possiblilities for sligs.

ang Interns are armed in the game because VykkersLabs is in Alert Fase=> there is danger: knowed as Abe and Munch

not all sligs can be wimpy,little and stupid!
some of them are strong,big and stupid!http://www.oddworld.au.com/paramonia.../slig02-sm.gif

yeah sligs on stereoids...
and what?
we know there are bigibrosligs, what do you want to point out?

i just wanna say that sligs are morans

Wow...
 

What an interesting topic! Theories and Facts on Sligs.
Here are my personal views on the discussed items:

Natives Live In..... I would say swamps. To me, sligs seem clumsy (in a cute way). I can't imagine them being able to move in trees. Just my opinion.

Hermit Crabs..... Yes! I think you're right, Kai! A shell would almost be like the Natives' pants :D and we all know how sligs love their pants, even if they prefer not to sleep in them.

Masks.... I believe have a deep function. What, I don't know; but it seems pretty wierd to me that glukks would PAY to cover a worker's face painlessly. Why not just tear it off? Have Vykkers alter their DNA? Masks must serve a function that the glukks don't want ANYONE to know....especially the sligs, I think :eek:

Other... Yes, Kaimana, I have one thing to dispute (friendishly, not trying to change anybody's opinion): Why are sligs called dumb? Room-teperature I.Q.s? Here is my list that supports my argument :D ((oo, i'm havin' fun!))

- Smart Sligs -

1. They can read (Valet reads Lulu the news)
2. They can write (Crig, freelance writer for Daily Deception)
3. They can type...sort of (Operator in Abe's Exoddus)
4. ? They speak two languages? (BS and S'MO BS....I always thought these were slig-words, seperate from English. Just my theory...)
5. They have taste in Fasion (Valet, Slig-in-a-Dress/Hostess)
6. They suck up to their overlords (this shows Intended Manipulation, something stupid creatures don't do)
7. They are highly talkative with their peers (this shows constant Thought-Proccessing)

Erm....what's anybody think? I know it might sound crazy, but hey, that's why I posted it! To get some sensible corrections :D

Re: Wow...
 

they don't choose it themself. they are "gived" by the glukkons who use those sligs

Well Tybs im glad you like some of my Slig theories. I dont think Sligs are extremely stupid but i will say that *some are clumzy. I have no further comments. Thank you:fuzsmile:

ohoh,wait i have one more,the masktheories i dont think this one will be clearely answered,but as far as we no the original design was meant to cover there so called *hidious* face because the Glucks were to horrified to see it. Prabaly because it was to ennocent looking.

Hey thats a good idear, give sligs masks to make em look more manecing to scare the slaves into obedience.

Most Sligs do have room temperture I.Q's but there are a few exceptional ones. The Gluks have to teach some Sligs so they can have them do the more 'qualified' jobs, ones that take more smarts to do like hosting the game show "Name the Trauma" and other occupations. But this dose show that Sligs can be very smart if taught there stuff. But seince the Gluks don't wanna spend to much money they poor ol Sligies never learn anything.:fuzsmile:

oho, that's a cool subject: education
sligs with and without education, the differences, maybe the rivalities.

yeah I want to see that!


(and of cource this happen in our real world)
