Recently OWI has began to publish posts on their Twitter citing articles from this site, along with content that heavily implies that the wiki is in some way official or sanctioned.
We'd like to dispel this rumor now: The Fandom Wiki is 100% community run and has in fact been long plagued by information of dubious validity, despite the valiant efforts of its editors (whose job we really appreciate, keep up the good fight!). For this reason, we'd like to ask our readers to take everything here with a great chunk of salt, especially when it comes to content without valid citations.
If you wish to fight against misinformation, you're encouraged to contribute high-quality content to the wiki—that is content that's propped up by a trusted source (examples include: Oddworld.com, Magog on the March, or The Oddworld Library) and contain no headcanons, theorizing, or any further content not directly coming from Oddworld Inhabitants.
Thank you for your attention and understanding! Happy reading and editing!
Slurgs are probably the lowest in the food chain on Oddworld. They are more or less large blackish purple slugs, which live off of Fleech offal (waste parts of a Fleech's carcass, for example the entrails). Many can be found in Necrum. Slurgs tend to make a loud squelch and pop when trodden on, which in turn alerts any Fleeches in the vicinity to an intruder. This means that Abe had to carefully avoid them on his journey through Necrum, so as to not fall victim to the Fleeches. It isn't known if slurgs can heal from this injury as real gastropods can, but it is probable.
