Warning: this post is kinda long
one thing I like about the Slug It Out games is they introduce some pretty cool original characters but since I'm pretty sure Spirex is the only one that became canon, here are some other ones I think deserve more attention (side note I will be sticking to the ones in SIO1 because their images are on the fandom wiki)
First is Minotaurus, my personal favourite who is introduced alongside Turtleton and Spirex (the names make it pretty clear which one is which) in the creature feature level of the judgement day chapter (basically just a cooler version of Mission: Improbable) where they work as a trio of hired mercenaries. Minotaurus has since been added as a SIO2 skin but the other 2 have not.
Next is Hudu Vudu, who is introduced in the first level of the same chapter (titled tricked) and is the one to capture Eli and bring him to Stalagmite 17. and is apparently Mr. Saturday's henchman. He has also been added as an SIO2 skin.
Up next is Doom Bot. It's a really cool robot not much else to say (there is also a Doom Bot 2.0 which is all black and has the Blakk Industries logo instead of an hourglass but the wiki doesn't have a picture of them). Like many of the others they have been added as a SIO2 skin.
Last and largest is Commander Croc. He appears in the second last level of the Ships Ahoy chapter (titled The Docks) where he attempts to stop Eli from getting some treasure. He makes a return is SIO2 with 3 smaller crocodile characters named Broc, Roc, and Smoc.
Slugterra sure loves to make cool characters and do nothing with them but that just means that since these guys aren't technically canon we can do whatever we want with them. Want to make one of them your oc? Go for it! Nobody can stop you >:D!
Blakk being next is wild like I get that the Shane gang had to win but seeing Blakk and some of the other Blakk Industries members go through the Game Master's BS would have been awesome.
2:39am but i'm just thinking about how messed up the thrill of the game was like wtf was nerdcorps on about
Trixie is thankfully safe because I don't think Chris Pratt would be able to voice a female but Burpy could always become the dreaded "marketable talking animal companion" so he isn't safe.
One thing I always found interesting about Saturday's weapon (other than that it seemingly can't fire slugs) is that it was clearly custom-designed with the Cryptogriff in mind. If it just worked for any slug then it would be way too powerful since it means a slinger could constantly shoot blasts of whatever element the slug inside is able to manifest without having to worry about retrieving it.
What makes it even worse is that even if the slug inside runs out of steam and the slinger doesn't have any others to replace it with the blaster basically doubles as a melee weapon since it's basically just a spear and your opponent could still throw it at you for a ranged attack.
Like imagine you just went through the most rough endurance fight ever, your opponent's slugs have FINALLY run out of energy to keep blasting and then you see your opponent hit this stance.
Yall we have got to talk more about what happened to Blakk after his second Deep Caverns visit because WHAT THE FLOP HAPPENED TO HIM
DID HE DRINK THE DARK WATER OR SOMETHING LIKE THE EMPEROR WENT SWIMMING IN THAT STUFF BUT IT WAS NEVER THIS BAD
like holy guacamole that transformation looks like it hurt. his arms have SPIKES GROWING OUT OF THEM not to mention his left hand is MISSING A FINGER
like did the Goon or Brimstone get a bit hungry and eat it before his transformation? WHERE DID IT GO
Props to Blakk for always having fabulous eyeliner even when he's been horribly mutated
Has anyone else ever wondered what the music in Slugterra is like? is it almost identical to ours or is it like "listening to those remixes that are intentionally made to be bad but for them it's normal" kind of difference. Considering the technology Slugterra has I wouldn't be surprised if they had something similar to Vocaloid (at least in terms of the virtual idol concerts)
Either that or the Vocaloids are straight up real people in Slugterra
How I feel waiting for the release date of Slugterra All-Stars to be an actual day instead of "Q1 2025"
(btw for anyone who doesn't know, Slugterra All-Stars is an official re-release of the flash games from the old Slugterra website which is being released on Steam)
this screenshot is old so the release date is listed as "coming soon"
Slugterra All-Stars tomorrow
Update: the release date has been changed to Q2 of 2025 F in the chat
After re-reading the Cryptogriff's page on the fandom wiki I think we should be grateful that Saturday (and the Emperor too I guess but Idc about him) only used the Cryptogriff for mind control because WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS IS ONE OF IT'S ABILITIES
"Mindshlock - Paralyzes opponent, but makes them see creepy crawlies all over them."
I AM BEGGING FOR YOUR FINEST PARDON LIKE SATURDAY BEGGING FOR BLAKK'S FORGIVENESS AFTER HE FINDS OUT HE DISOBEYED A DIRECT ORDER WHY CAN IT DO THAT?
I thought the mind control was overpowered but this is genuinely absurd because that's basically another instant-win attack.
like how are you supposed to fight back against that? Even if you aren't scared of the bugs you're still paralyzed so it's not like you can fight back.
other than that it also has the ability to overwhelm an opponent with vertigo and motion sickness which is only a little less overpowered than the other 2.
other than The Goon and the ghouled elementals, the Cryptogriff HAS to be one of if not the most powerful ghoul slugs.
SATURDAY HEADCANNONS RAAAHHH (might steal some of these)

There is a group chat for all the highered Slingers. And no, it is in no way professional.
Everyone has stupid Users and the chat name changes at least five times a day on average.
There is a group chat for the regular day to day workers, but it's far more casual and general updates.
Twist is an annoying little shit.
^Constant bragging about being 'Blakk's apprentice'
C.C. loves to rub it in Twist's face Blakk picked him for the mission in 'Lightwell'
Everyone dogs on Saturday for falling for Eli's bluff in 'Mission Improbable'
Saturday retaliates by hypnotizing them for a while until Blakk tells him to stop.
Everyone loves Maurice
I don't care Maurice is the best and everyone(Blakk included) would kill for the man
Maurice is the only one able to even be able to talk some level of sense into Blakk
It is no secret that our of everyone in Blakk Industries, Blakk trusts Maurice the most, seeing as how Blakk is actually nice to him(though its probably because they have known each other for years)
Locke and Lode are actually smarter than people give them credit for, they just just bicker so much that they tend to forget what's going on around them.
Blakk, is a feminist, interpret that as you will
When Sedo approached Blakk to work for him, he promised that once he became King of Molemound Blakk could do whatever he wanted.
Twist sometimes has, regrets, about working for Blakk but then remembers how he used to live
^he sometimes has dream about what life would have been like if he hadn't double crossed the Shane Gang
There had been, hundreds of jokes in regards to El Diablos Nacho and his name
none are said in ear shot because no one wants to die :)
Quintin drank way to much coffee and had so little sleep while developing the Titan Tanks
Blakk Industries is surprisingly inclusive for a company run by an eco terrorist
Billy and the rest of the Hooligang are annoying little shits, but in the endearing way
Billy and Twist hate each other
NO ONE TRUSTED THE DARK BANE NOT EVEN BLAKK HIMSELF
A lot of the staff are huge SlugBall fans
So when Primo Presto started on the pay roll they were psyched because they could get SlugBall tickets for an even cheepier price
^Blakk Industries sells tickets for various events at a reduced price to its employees to help with moral (for the record, this is a legit thing companies can do, my mom's company dose it)
say what you will, the cafeteria serves good food
Not everyone working there agrees with the Ghouling but some people just really need the money
Since Eli Shane happened, there have been prank calls coming in
-
"Blakk Industries, Bringing you Tomorrow's Yesterday Today, My name is Steve, how can I help you?"
"So you sell Ligma?"
"... Ligma? whats Ligma I-"
"LIGMA BALLS" [hangs up]
"... what the fu-"
☆
"Blakk Industries, Bringing you Tomorrow's Yesterday Today, My name is Camron, how can I help you?"
[Caller starts trauma dumping]
"... uh... this is a corporate manufacturing company-"
☆
"Blakk Industries, Bringing you Tomorrow's Yesterday Today, My name is Aaron, how can I help you?"
[Caller proceeds to spend four and a half hours on the phone, making a custom order for like 1000+ gold Mecha]
"Alright sir, is that everything?"
"yup"
"perfect! be for I submit your request, as per Blakk Industries policy-"
"wait- Blakk Industries? I thought I was talking to someone form the Beast Forge! agh! never mind-"[hangs up]
"... SO I DID ALL THAT FOR NOTHING!?!? @#%$!"
-
No one is paid enough to deal with it lmao
They host parties ranging form birthday parties for employees to grand gala's
^Clearly inspired by the Blakk Gala community event
There was a debate on weather or not to fish Blite out of the Cavern of Time
It was ultimately a no
Darius (the guy posing as the head of the Beast Forge that one ep) knows nothing about Mecha Beast's
Blakk attempted to bribe Judge Logan once before Blakk Industries really took off, Blakk ended up working hard labour for six months until Maurice came to get him
Twist is actually friends with an Arachnoid, don't ask how, it just happened.
Viggo Dare did try to get his 'gang' back from Blakk once.
Viggo Dare was never seen leaving Blakk's office.
I mostly post Slugterra memes(I am in other fandoms)
