According to
fricto in
swear words from science fiction:
Frank Herbert's Dune galaxy sees a high trade in sligs, the creatures engineered/bred in the axlotl tanks to be the perfect source of meat.Eveidently they, like other meat producers, shit, and what you get is "Slig shit."
It would also appear that
Oddworld Inhabitants, creators of
Abe's Oddysee,
Abe's Exoddus and soon-to-be
Munch's Oddysee, like Frank Herbert. Except that
their sligs are engineered for guard duty, not meat. They are essentially
squid-like creatures which can use
prosthetic technology. Like walking legs with
Uzi's and
helicopter/
hang-glider crossbreeds with contact
grenades. They
guard the
meat factory (
Rupture Farms) and the other important buildings (
FeeCo Depot,
SoulStorm Brewery) against aggressors. Their meat comes from
paramites (paramite pies),
scrabs (scrab cakes),
fleeches (fleech munchies) and, New and Tasty ends up being
Mudokon (mudokon pops).
By the way, they get very annoyed at people possessing their bodies by chanting!
