- Oddworld Lore: Sligs Origins is a video about Oddworld lore by pupbenny that takes a closer look at the Sligs from the Oddworld games where they play the role as the enforcers of the Magog Cartel and the servants of the Glukkons, you will often encounter a Slig in an Oddworld game!
Oddworld was created by Lorne Lanning who founded Oddworld Inhabitants which has produced many games, Including Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee, Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus, Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath and Oddworld: Soulstorm. I find the Oddworld lore fascination and hope to bring the Oddworld universe to life by telling the story of it and it's characters, creatures and locations so that they can be explained and theorised about by delving into Oddworld theory and the lore of the universe of the Oddworld games!

I absolutely love the sligs dialogue in soulstrorm them saying stuff like “yo” and “what up” makes them even more likable
They are the best.
“Aaah, suck it!” XDD
"Holy crapola!"
If the sligs are so "ugly" to the Glukkons, then why the fuck does concept art make them look so fuckin' cute!
Who’s your daddy 🤙🤙🤙
One of my favourite lines is with a slog in to and telling them to “get em” and watching the little monsters tear up another slig 😂
It was really nice seeing the Sligs stand up for themselves in Soulstorm and I hope that's expanded on in whatever comes next.
YES, PLEASE!
Sliggies need a break, too!
Slogs should be the good guys next
I want a slig protagonist that lived with those mudokon tribes and rather than having mechanical legs, it would ride on it’s trusty slog
They're really sadistic tho
@@jstar3382
Bro they are brought into the world as child soldiers ofc they become sadistic
Sligs are just so well designed. From the mechanical sounds they make when walking, to their silhouette and to their posture. From a character design standpoint, near perfection if I dare say so!
Agreed :)
The sound design cannot be understated. To this day I still remember the sounds vividly from Abe's Oddysee.
Absolutely, the background clunking of mudokons mining, the mechanical whir of the sligs walking back and forth, and the churning hum of background machinery and understated music is stuck in my head forever
fuck man they really nailed it
Considering that the creator of oddworld even said "in an ideal ending, nobody has to die, not even sligs", we could very well see the sligs join forces with the mudokons in later games as they succeed more and more in overpowering and destroying glukkon factories and stuff.
The Sligs are the main reason why I love the Oddworld franchise.
Gabbits are one of the favorite species of oddworld next scarabs .
I’m just gonna say that after seeing the true ending of Soulstorm, I hope to see them recycle the Sligstorm-idea and introduce us the Albino Slig as the next main character in the future. I really like that idea when I first heard of Sligstorm years ago.
Me too! I would LOVE to play as a slig character. The little jerks are just so inherently loveable.
What would an albino slig look like? Red?
Playing as a slig would be hella different but I like the idea. You already play as a slig a lot in other games anyway. You could have a way to exchange your legs for the helicopter or smth.
or do Oddworld with Munch hero cuz they made it that first is New n' Tasty and second Soulstorm. While in old Oddworld we had Munch and not to mention we had also "Stranger".
@@TarkTheWild white cuz albinos have no pigment
I remember wanting mechanical pants as a kid just to be like sligs
What? You didn't want mechanical pants just in general?
The flesh is weak, the machine is strong.
@@madisonatteberry9720 Wallace and Gromit
I used to walk like a Slig as a kid, hunched over, head bobbing. It was a weird time.
@@yellowmattereyecusta welp most people are hunched over at their pcs so you got one part of it done
Man I really hope Abe does help the sligs be free too and they will fight back with the Mudokons, I absolutely LOVE the Soulstorm Good Ending so much
If sligs Mother wants be free?
If sligs Mother wants be free?
Part of me thinks that Abe will possibly team up with the Albino Slig, being an outcast of Slig society, my guess is that their initial encounter is pretty rocky, seeing one another as rivals, however, overtime Abe has a chance to show him that the rest of the Sligs in the Magog Cartel are slaves just like the Mudokons. Essentially they’re both fighting for the same thing, but with different motives. Abe wants to save his kin from certain death, while the Albino Slig is saving himself, he doesn’t trust anyone, but now, seeing things on common ground, he’s willing to help out.
I am curious if the Sligs will have someone from their perspective. Where the Sligs face off against a different enemy or a different militaristic slave species.
Also, I like how Mullock learned of the importance of loyalty of his workforce. It would mean he'd have an edge over other Gulkkons.
I felt like Sligs are a good interpretation of a threatening and funny antagonists. I'm more intimidated by a Slig instead of a Storm Trooper.
Maybe sligs being hired to fight outlaws from strangers Wrath?
@@antonironstag5085 or the Interns serving the Vykkers as a possible target of opportunity for Mullock to gain moolah and resources as a Renegade Glukkon
Sligs are the best creatures in Oddworld in my opinion. As a kid I loved watching MoM news from Abes Exoddus just to watch Slig doin funny stuff. Chauffer Slig in Soulstorm made me laugh sometime, his way of speaking and humor are just brilliant. WE NEED MORE SLIGIES ^^
The Sligs are easily one of the most iconic enemies, and chatacters in general, to come from the Oddworld games. I love how much humour and personality they bring to the Oddworld universe!
Also, I found it ironic, considering what I'm talking about at that time, that I've only just noticed that the Slig's face briefly clips through his mask in the cutscene played at 2:02.
(And, just to clarify, I know what BS actually stands for. ;))
The sligs are what made me love Oddworld💯
Id love if they ever showed concept art or if somehow in the story we could see pre gluckon rule sligs where they are still pale and there bodys grow naturally and what they were like as a people before they worked for the glucks itd honestly be some of the most interesting lore especially if they did ever release a slig centered story
I love sligs, too. And I think the reason they're in this awkward place of loveable antagonist is because we get to posses them so much in the first games.
In Soulstorm I'm so glad they could shoot more freely and grab Abe and slam him down and fight back. And they could climb poles. Those were really good upgrades. The Chauffer slig is my new favorite and I hope we get to see more of him.
That.....would actually make a better concept story for that never released 'Slig storm'. The Albino Slig could be more 'evolved' then the others as he was a 'reject' and never argument with the restraints the others have at birth. It gave him longer life, the development of.....whatever passes for 'legs' on a Slig, a developed brain, but still has the 'Slig pants' or at least a version meant to carry more, like an exoskeleton or something, and though smaller then those 'juiced up' Sligs, able to carry larger weaponry, mixed with intelligence and a longer life span, the other Sligs would follow him, perhaps set the story in motion when the Albino Slig sees what baby Sligs are put through, the bindings and misery, and decided to do something about it.
As a biologist, if you showed me their natural, unaugmented state, I'd actually thing the manipulative organ was the mouthparts.
As a biologist, I am gay
Is this me or do these unmasked sligs look kind of... Cute? Like innocent in such a way that they are needlessly hurt so much...
Me too. All the different sounds of the sligs are what really attached me to the original oddworld game on PS1. From the way the walk, talk, and act, its so memorable
I've loved the Sligs since my first contact with the game, when I was 8 years old. Their design was very creative (like most of the oddworld creatures), but there was that special something - maybe their "snouts"? How versatile their "forms" were?
It's very sad to learn to about the amount of abuse and modifications those baby slugs endure to become heartless enforces is just very sad. I wish we could see some "free-roaming" sligs, untainted by the cartels, in upcoming games or other content. Sligs killing their masters in Soulstorm makes me think maybe there will be some kind of a revolution approaching. They are aware of their mistreatment to some degree and can learn the truth about their orgins? Maybe they'll get their own "Abe Guy"? Since Gluk economy is based on Mudokon labour and they are abandoning their posts, their industries become more and more unsustainable, and thus the social structure is prone to collapse. Maybe, in a long run, the events of the games will change the society of Oddworld and some order based more on mutual respect than abuse and exploitation may emerge?
I love the sligs dude bro mentality, they seem so chill 'n' cool.
"Who's ya Daddy?"
We need a Sligstorm game now
It honestly makes me so happy there are people who still talk about the masterpiece that is Oddworld!!
It feels like it's been erased from existence at times... given how little it's talked about now! I hope Oddworld blows up again one day, like it did back when it first came out...
Oddworld is my favorite game franchise ever!
I miss the clanky matalic machinegun sfx of the original slig gun. I like the new variety of weapon, but that heavy mechanical sound of their old rifles sounded way more intimidating.
Lol imagine another oddworld first person shooter, but you play as a slig this time
Being able to swap between different weapons and legs would be dope.
I like to believe the sligs were chosen because their small fingers could allow to use weapons only available to them, in order to insure that a mudoken or other untrained species couldn’t use them.
I would like to see how a "Natural" Slig would be. Without any modifications by the Glukkon or Vykkers.
Sligs have to be one of my most favorite creatures in all of Oddworld. They have pump-action shotguns, yet they use them as assault rifles, and they look like Helghans from Killzone 2.
I liked the Abe games as a kid, it was one of my favourite PS1 games besides Rayman, but I never managed to finish it. I always stopped after the escape from Rapture Farms (because I found the jungle too spooky and difficult). Sligs are the enemies I remember the most and I always kind of liked them. Their sound design is awesome. Really liked their ending in Soul Storm.
Favorite Rayman just out of curiosity? Mines either 3 or origins.
@@SnakeBBBite i only played 1 thoroughly but also a bit of the later ones before Rabbids
I never thought I'd find a slig cute, until I saw that concept art of the sad baby sligs! Now I feel bad for killing so many.
So happy to see you back. Also glad to see Lorne Lanning gave you a shot out on twitter! Make me very happy, and you've definitely earned my sub, and many others
I'd love them to expand on the Sligs in a future game, maybe have them actually side with the Mudokons even if it is just a temporary alliance to overthrow the Cartel.
Baby sligs look so sad
i watched a lot of these lore videos like 2-3 years ago but the past couple days ive been binging them again
Pilot Slig is the best thing in Soulstorm!!
It says a lot that I still find sligs funny and likeable after being shot by them somewhere in the order of 600,000 times and then had to watch them laugh and jeer over my withered corpse. In fact when I decided to buy myself an Oddworld t-shirt, out of all the designs available, I opted for the slig.
To this day Sligs are one of my favorite creatures in a video game. Been playing soulstorm and just love how there are S' Mo' Varieties in that game.
Sligs are kind of cute without their masks.
Is the appearance of the Glukkons based on the 1930's and 40's gangster in a trench coat and shoulder pads?
Zoot suit?
"(...)result in a constant slouched posture, much like my own". Thank you for this. I really needed a good laugh today. Great video!
I wonder if YAYMANS is the place where the SKILLYA lives close there after all the palace of incubation in the book art is like a paradise hotel with water and buffets. Also there a draw with Skrillya talking with a Glukkon...
“Group of sligs ripping off another’s arms” so slug chimps?
Sligs have been my favorite characters since the original game.
Sligs are my favourite race on Oddworld.
yes slig content !!! its super great to see them having more screentime and standing up for themselves. i hope they dive deeper into that in future games.
These are great, I look forward to seeing what other species and characters you plan to do videos like this of next!
I really hope we can get SligStorm at some point.
I love Sligs - They are like like minions for me, with exceptions that I actually like them
sligs are happy with their job beating up muds because they are use to being at the bottom and victims too and that's their time to feel on top and not be at the bottom anymore
I really like the Sligs,they remind me of star wars and how the Hutts always have entire armies of bounty hunters and mercenaries working under them
Have you done a video on the slig queen? I can't remember.
Also, I would love to see a completely natural population of Sligs helping Abe in a future game.
The sligs quite literally are the most vital thing to the glukkons.
Without them, the glukkons are almost completely defenseless. They can even easily turn on their masters if they want to due to their weaponry and the glukkons themselves basically being completely unable to defend themselves, soulstorms good ending shows this in full detail
The music when you possess a slig in oddysee and exoddus is top tier
I'd really like to see some of those gentle sligs acting as allies at some point. Ones without masks or modifications, capable of clear thought and empathy.
Anyone else think they are simmilar to halos grunts?
I really like the idea of the enforcers of the industrial regime of the glukkons being cybernetically enhanced, and dependent on those cybernetic enhancements. It really sells the idea that they are cogs in a greater machine beyond their control.
Dude. You are too good for this world. Keep it up.
i wonder if the sligs are just the way they are since they dont know any other way of living. i dont think they are even aware that they have a mother or that there mother sold them into the magog cartel. i wonder if molick and his chauffeur become the reason they rebel on a scale like abe did or if abe need to help the sligs find their mother with the help of the chauffeur just like abe needs to find his.
I've been playing Oddworld since I was 3 and I thought I knew Oddworld, but man!... XD you know so much about this universe!!! I really appreciate your explanation of the characters in these videos. The amount of detail you explore is fascinating. I would never imagine the flamingo silhouette if not for you. Thanks for another great upload! (: You got a sub for life
Always loved the sligs and slogs combo. I'd love a slog pup of my own.
When you stated that sligs follow the one with the biggest gun, it's like the orks in 40k
I'd love to see a sort of spinoff, where a slig uprising did occur. Hell, they could make it into a shooter if they played their cards right. It would obviously have to be a weird shooter though.
I think there might even be some nice sligs that would work with Abe and Alf with the Mudokon's, there was one that was beaten to death with his own arms so there could be a good one or two that could help Abe.
Repeating this again, I hope you don't mind.
The Sliggs should have a moment of getting mad at their bosses cutting their payment, the old Slig queen pass away and new female Sliggs is given a idea by Abe's uprising of running their own empire. A female Slig (Lilith) with punk rock outfit and british accent secretly forming alliance with Abe during the end of game to help free her friends (female Sliggs), unlocking a hidden ending the Glukkons are wipe out by the Slig army running by Lilith and her friends as the new bosses of their kind.
It will be awesome to see the Slig business empire as hinting a possible threat for the Mudokons or unlikely allies in future games.
Don't mind this fan fiction.
Honestly this is amazing writing the villains henchmen are also victims but brainwashed to the point of almost having undying loyalty to their masters but they are forced to rely on them as they know nothing else since they were born but obviously that's also changed a little with soulstorm.
Brilliant buddy! Always a top quality videos. Sligs forever!😄👍
The mask is so funny. Because the only point of it is because the glukons hate looking at them
Bro I’ve been waiting for oddworld content since 2005
2:19 I would adopt a slig as a pet, he would probably enjoy life a whole lot more If they didn't get their legs blinded together As well as being able to just hang out.
The sligs are what make odd world games💯
Also, I just noticed, the sligs eyes are to the side akin to animals like certain small animals and the majority of livestock, not straight ahead. I wonder if the Sligs started out as a Prey species in their natural environment?
Wonder what your average slig would be like without all these modifications..
uses iron masks to stop brain growth
slig pilot in soulstorm: and I took that personally *proceeds to manipulate mullock 100% of the time*
Seeing the poor baby Slig with it's lower body binded is just sad.
I just recently discovered the franchise, and agree that the Sligs are the most fun characters. Though I personally prefer Big Bros over Crawlers.
The Sligs are my favorite creatures as well
one of the weirdest but best creatures of any videogame
5:25 I love that he gets launched out of the window and instead of his comrades wondering what happened they just fkn laugh at his dead body lolol
1:03 “ Much like my own “ 😂
An unlikely, but now iconic enemy design!
i think that juvenile sligs are really cute
Found your channel recently and love the content this series is my childhood!
i fucking love thst their eyes move in their masks
I feel like odd world inspired trpg game would be fun (be it made from ground up or using already existing systems). Good idea could be one of the other slig queen types whom perhaps wants to grow species that isn't so stunted and need to work with native race of odd world to reach this near impossible goal.
Do the outlaws from strangers rath or the brew
tech priest : ORK.....wait...hmm interesting little xeno augmented
No-one seems to talk about the bleeding holes in their spines.
Poor baby Sligs 7:50
Sligs deserve the world, man...
Nice video
Imagine for oddworld 3, we get to see more with slaughter school, how they are just as slavelike as the muds. And now I'm thinking about a small slig militia made up of the sligs that defected because they realized the true brutallity of the magog cartel. They would probably be improperly conditioned from missfiting the anti brain growth helmet
I hope one day we get a oddworld as we get to play as a good slig and we get to lead a large revolution now that be a game I'd play
Can't wait for Wolvarks and Gloktigi's!
I'd love a show for oddworld,I wanna see how they do the sligs
where did you get those photos of the baby slig concept art? i cant find any sources of it in as high a resolution
i kind of love them omg omg
I love these games... well the originals, not so much the most recent one. I can do an awesome impression of abe to so if they need a voice actor im your guy :)
The sligs are like mixture of the Enclave from fallout and Bad guys from dune
At first i saw sligs as just cruel minions. But there is more.
My headcannon is that they newer had real legs to begin with
But rather a tail that functions simularly to a slugs foot
Slouched posture?
Disproportionately large forearm?
Damn, sounds like me after the lockdown.
Awwww baby sligs are so cute
I enjoy them too hence why I have OCs of them
