I dunno I think it would literally be called a Slig Toss by the industrialist. Think about it Sligs are bred to be task masters and despensible solders and police of the Magog Cartel right? Well I believe Sligs are ment to be born to literally die. They are born task masters literally. Think about it all over Oddworld at least Mudos there are hundreds of sort of Slig vending machines or slig despensors. As soon as a slig is born he gets his pants and gun or granades etc and goes off and does his job. Everytime a slig dies someone can pull a lever and another slig would pop out of a pipe or despensor some where. just like vending machines. If you ask me Sligs are like liveing breathing product weapons used by the Magog Cartel. As sick and twisted that may sound it suits Oddworld in the most perfect way. Death on Oddworld is sort of second nature to Industrialist. Its as if Sligs don't worry or really care about it when they die they are replaced by more sligs. Its almost like an infanite assembly line of sligs. Where they are kept is the question which I myself have an intriegueing concept on.

I can imagine the Slig queen Skyllia is attached to a huge pipeline which is surgically connected to her abdoman that leads into a huge chamber that looks sort of like a Honey comb. Spreading out are hundreds of thousands of seperate pipes attached to the main pipe line. Leading out into different directions across Mudos possably underground. When a slig dies Skyllia is constantly giveing birth and as the slig travels through the pipe he gets his gear and pops out where that slig died or where ever there is a lever.

So anyway back to the topic I believe they would be literally called Slig Tosses because as sick and twisted as that may sound Sligs are put there to be thrown out as maybe a projectile. Which is example of a unieque way of defending ones self from intruders. They use them selves as weapons. Now that is Oddworld sick humor for ya! But once again its only another theory
