I never thought of that but it's possible. The Paradudes are actually quite a bit bigger than a pantsless Slig, but that certainly doesn't rule out the possbility. However, I personally don't think it is true, as there's not enough evidence for it. My guess is that both species obtained the face tentacles via parallel evolution. On Earth, the structure of the eye evolved independently no less than 40 times within various creatures, so if that's possible, so is two unrelated creatures evolving tentacles.
