Hm... *thinks* I coined the term, I think, in Pinkhaired's "Oddworld Chibis" topic on the old board. We were trying to think what the babies of all the different Odd-species were all called, and I suggested Sliglet (as it sounded nicer than "Grub")...
(Nark - my very first oddpicture ever...:

Seeing as Skillya is as big as a house (as Xavier has said countless times before, but no-one seems to listen to him) and likely has a massive egg-producing part of her anatomy, I don't see how spindly little pants like them would support her bulk. Ever. Besides, who says the wearing of pants to aid in locomotion is a purely slig thing to do? Notice that creature doesn't appear to have either legs
or arms (although it looks vaguely like it's had it's arms cut off, by what that thing it's wearing looks like) - meaning it'd be too slow to be in any way remotely threatening, as so long as they didn't get too close to that tail mudokons would be able to dodge it easily. Just because it wears vaguely slig-like pants does not make it a slig.
So, to repeat what's been said before but I'll say it again, that's not Skillya. We've not seen any pictures of her. According to the picture that is a
meetle/mug - presumably a first draft that they changed later on as it didn't fit with what they wanted to be able to do with it (it says so at the bottom of it, if you look). (Hm - looking at the picture, does it have the date as September 98? If so, when did AO come out, again? Before that, wasn't it (I only got into it when I got to Uni, in 1999)? So it can't be what sligs were originally going to look like.)
