At one time in Oddworld's history the sligs were primative roaming the land free. They were not the sadistic taskmasters we all know and love. They were different in earlier times of Oddworld. They dident alweys have those mechanical pants. Could you imagine seeing a primative race of sligs woundering Oddworld? They would have no mechanical pants and no masks. That would be cool. We might see them like that in the habitales.
Maybe on other continents the sligs could be like that?
