Slorgs are large mollusk-like creatures featured in All 4 One, found throughout the coastal region of Octonok Cay. An enhanced variant, the armored slorg, also appears occasionally. Due to their electrical properties, slorgs are used as power sources by launching them into special receptacles marked with stylized slorg icons.
History[]
The first armored slorg encountered is seen observing a critter accidentally kill itself on an explosive crate, and chuckling in amusement.[1] At the end of the Cay level, a slorg watches the heroes before slinking back into the water with a scowl.[2] These moments, along with the presence of the loki, suggest that some slorgs may serve as hosts to the parasitic species.
Slorgs are used to defeat the King Sepiad by forcing them down its throat. Despite their grotesque nature, slorgs are considered a delicacy on certain planets.[3]
While their homeworld is unknown, slorg logos appear on containers at the GrummelNet Plasma Harvester on Proteus VII in Full Frontal Assault, logos are also seen at the pumping station and sewers in Weeblesnog City on planet Silox, and a hologram of a slorg can be seen in Nefarious City in Rift Apart.[a]
Characteristics[]
Slorgs are large creatures—taller even than Captain Qwark—with rotund, blue-purple bodies and bulbous yellow eyes. They move using two rows of short tentacles that can extend to several times their body length, and are strong enough to let them cling to ceilings. Their bodies emit a constant electrical charge, making physical contact lethal. They are immune to most damage and will instead slide around rapidly when struck.
The armored slorg variant wears orange plating on its back and oversized goggles over its eyes.
Combat[]
In combat, slorgs function more as environmental hazards than standard enemies. Their electrified bodies damage any player on contact. When shot, they slide uncontrollably at high speeds, often ricocheting off walls, into players, or off ledges. Despite their aquatic appearance, slorgs perish upon hitting water. The only other method of defeating them is by freezing them with the OmegaTech Frost Cannon and then shattering them.
Armored slorgs behave identically, but their armor must first be broken—concentrated fire is sufficient—before they can be launched or frozen.
Behind the scenes[]
A slorg with a hover device and mechanical arms appears as a downloadable skin for the competitive multiplayer mode of Full Frontal Assault, as part of the All 4 One Pack.

- ↑ The hologram is more accurate to the concept art, showing a translucent slorg with a visible brain.
