The only reason I used "slurg" is because to our knowledge slugs don't exist in Oddworld.

Slurgs are a kind of slug.
Oddworld has birds, bees and bats - these are general terms, not species, just like on Earth, and they apply equally well here. Glukkons and Sligs are molluscoids. Mudokons are avians.
Besides, when you talk about evolution, you want to stay away from contempary species. We did not evolve from chimps, we evolved from the apes that
also evolved into chimps.

Sligs [are] described as ancestors of slug-like creatures, not descendants.

I read it as "descendants from
both swamps
and the ancestors of slug-like creatures" i.e. they share a common ancestor i.e. slugs. Either way, though, it's still an evolutionary connection.

Their name come from Pig and Slug, so by your logic, they could easily be equally related to pigs.
|
They sure could! They have an internal skeleton, according to you, and were it not for 1995's CG limitations, they would've been covered in bristly, boar-like fur.
It's ultimately up to you which you'd rather pick, though I've never seen a compound-eyed pig that eats flesh before.

I think we're both assuming more than we're told.

I've got the citations to back me up, though. Aren't citations great?
