I'd been thinking about that... the whole what-the-hell-ARE-sligs-anyway question (*sabagely beats away the ads that popped up halfway through typing that one ssentence and made her type it three times*), as I don't think they're reptile, or at least not totally reptilian. I mean, who says they have to be mammals/reptiles/whatever? I mean, the animal kingdon on earth needent necessarily hold completely the same for another planet - just like mudokons are "birds" (in a sense, anyway) but have no real external characteristics you'd associate with a bird, except the feathers... I mean, sligs might be some completely different order; maybe sharing characteristics of both reptiles
and mammals... *shrugs* After all, a lot of the "sentient" (or should that be sapient? not that it matters) species share insect characteristics - I can't think of any mammals/birds/reptiles that reproduce like that, only ants/bees etc...
Sorry, I'm taking over again. *shrugs* I'll shut up now.
