I always figured that slogs, fleeches, and slurgs were ALL genetically created creatures from the Vykkers. Think about it. What creatures on oddworld look like slogs? none. What slogs have you seen in the wild? none. What do you need in a guard species? Vicious, mobile, expendable, and hungry. They are a stereotypical genetically created creature. They look to me like they were built and now they have been pumped with the same muscle mass growth chemicals as the Big Bro Sligs. To back up the genetic creatures thing, I see fleeches as being small, cuddly, cute (by oddworld standards), and allways ready to lick your face. The perfect pet. Except for the doody... which is why the Vykkers would create a living pooper skooper which cleans up EVERYTHING your pet could leave behind. When the glucks dropt the Fleeches, they flushed down some slurgs with them. I think alot of things in Oddworld, though they seem commonplace, were not there a few centuries ago. But to back up the native slog thing, Slogs must be trained on certain sites like Sloghuts. In these places, sligs cannot control the slogs and will be eaten by them if thrown in their areas. NOT A SLIGS BEST FRIEND.
