Sligs... could they be descended from..... Slurgs?
 
Official info:

:

Sligs descended from a slug-like species.
Could they be descended from Slurgs? They very look like slugs. What do you think?

That's pretty interesting.....but I'm not to sure. It's possible that Sligs and Slurgs are decsendents I think..... :fuzconf:

Xavier 03-29-2002 12:54 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
they don't descended from slurgs... maybe they have the same origin... but They don't descend of Slurgs

BiddaMD 04-03-2002 08:30 PM

Duh dudes, look at the slig's face. It is very similar to another oddworld creature, the paramite. But, not slurgs...they are on the bottom of the evolutionary ladder and will probably stay there for some time.

Xavier 04-04-2002 02:25 AM

lets compare

Noooo

Cool Paramite 04-04-2002 01:49 PM

YES!
 
Well, you never know. All the creatures-on-the-high-dry-land-with-a-skeleton (I forgot the name for that) descended from some sort of fish... That includes us. Do we look like fish? (And I am not talking about avatars!) NOOOOOO!

BTW: I voted: "YES", of course.

Xavier 04-04-2002 02:38 PM

hey I didn't excluded that théory, but you Sligs came FROM slurgs... and I don't agree

Just don't make a topic about that... trust me...

BiddaMD 04-04-2002 08:50 PM

oy...wasn't even thinking about it man. But Xavier's pictures do make a good comparison. Green men with no legs and limbs for mouths....Purple slugs with stalk eyes..hmmmm can you say stupid.

sligface202 04-04-2002 10:22 PM

I'm a slig myself and of course i know,They Don't!We sligs don't have Slimy bodies!We sligs don't have a pinky purplish skin tone!We sligs are not small!They're are many similarities and differences,but in comparison the answer is NOOOOO!

Sl'askia 04-04-2002 11:59 PM

Rik, Ner, Tok, Bas, and Zig all storm into the topic.

Oh boy...

all sligs together: HEEEEELLLLLL NO WE DIDN'T COME FROM SOME SLIMEY SLURG!!!!

Um...the sligs have spoken...

The Shrink 04-05-2002 01:52 AM

Nooooooo! Sligs aren't descendants of slurgs. Sligs did descend from slugs from the swamps, we know that from Xbox.com's history article. But if sligs are the evolved version of a slug, then that slug has been superceded, evolved, moved on, now non-existent because sligs have been created and slurgs are still around. So forget it.

paramiteabe 04-05-2002 02:31 AM

You know I think sligs are part of the octigi family since there was something on them being related to glukkens in some ways. To me they look like octigi. Think of a squid. They closely resemble that. I don't think Slurgs are part of the octigi family. Sligs have to be more octigi related because of the long tenticals comeing out of it's mouth. But you never know.:fuzblink:

What a novel idea! Remember that Sligs have a larval form, so it's quite possible that a Slurg is the larval form of a cousin of the Slig.

taht's pretty possible...
but why must each race be related to an other?

BiddaMD 04-05-2002 08:34 PM

Exactly Xavier. I mean, we only get to see a handful of the millions of creatures on Oddworld. Why should two be related? If aliens knew only of humans and dogs, would they suspect us to be related? I mean, if the Slurg and Slig were linked somehow, I am almost positive that the game or some official source would tell us.

Sorry, how do we know that Sligs have larvae, again?

Xavier 04-06-2002 09:20 AM

well the slig in sligstorm was a slig larvae...
I think...:fuzconf:

Sydney 04-06-2002 11:42 AM

As Xavier said, SligStorm was to feature an albino slig larvae as the main character.

Danny 04-06-2002 01:11 PM

Ta.

sligface202 04-06-2002 05:51 PM

I just found out!.....Sligs come from *drum roll*...Paramites!It's just that glukkons captured them and put them in metal pants, they gave them a gun and a metal mask,then trained them.

Trust me, they don't come from paramites. (Damn it Danny, why do you always have to be right?)

Xavier 04-08-2002 08:48 AM

sligface202
I don't think it's that...
paramites have legs

BiddaMD 04-08-2002 09:25 AM

not only do paramites have pants....but no fingers. Think before you write dude...people here will actually get angry at you are stupid.

Xavier 04-08-2002 03:36 PM

actually paramites have one finger on each before leg

http://www.oddworldforums.net/forums...&threadid=4647 I was wrong in this topic, so it does happen occasionally... ;)

it still doesn't make any difference.
