Sligs can’t swim if a) they’ve been raised on land and haven’t been taught how to swim and/or b) they are wearing metal legs that double their weight (and more to the point, increase their mean density).
The arboreal Slig hypothesis (I don’t think anyone actually wrote a thesis on the matter) was essentially a wild speculation that because a Slig’s tail is prehensile, it could have used its arms, tail and facial fingers to navigate trees.
