Although slurgs are sluglike creatures, I don't think they are related to sligs. It is interesting that they live off of fleeches offal because fleeches were created at Vykkers Labs to be the perfect pet. Perhaps there were once wild fleeches which the Vykkers just altered (unsuccessfully) to become pets.
I also wonder what gabbits were like in prehistoric times. The oceans of oddworld would be huge and likely they are the home to many sorts of strange creatures. But so far the only ones we know of are gabbits, scoots (worryfish), sea rexes and possibly stangs. Hopefully we will delve deeper into the debths of oddworld's oceans. I want most of the levels in ME to be underwater, but I don't think that will happen.
Another thing to wonder is, assuming oddworld has the same main animal classifications as earth, why are their so few mammals. The only ones we have seen so far are meeps, fuzzles and bats.
