[@angelangelis8362]

Idea for Sligstorm. The two main "heroes" are the Albino slig, a small guy that escaped being agumented/killed and actually grew up to be rather smart. The other is the "Biggest of Bros" , possibly a former elite guard of the Slig queen who's is extremely simple almost to the point of utter stupidity by even Slig Standards, but due to being so big and scary that he rarely has to do anything, is actually usually rather gentle. The two team up to save the life of a recently born female slig who the Queen tries to have killed so she can't be possibly replaced. Baby Girl, as they call here, is extremely kind even as a baby, so Al (The albino) and Bigs (The Biggest Bro) Decide to save her and try and get her back to the old abandoned swamps where their kind were originally from and no one lives in anymore. Al could be the sneaky brain boy that does stealth bits and tech and what not, while also possibly upgrading Bigs' equipment over time with enough mollah to get buy the parts from a Glukkon, (Maybe Mulluk?) while Bigs is the muscle, smacking people and breaking things as needed.

While making this I discovered that in Xbox Munch's Oddysee, Big Bro Sligs have their own walking sound which mixes a lower Slig walk sound with a heavier noise and Snoozers have their own unique sound. However, in the HD remake, Big Bros still have the/a heavier noise, but the Slig part of the sound is exactly the same as an ordinary Slig and Snoozers no longer have their own unique walking sound and just use the same one as a normal Slig as well. I prefer the Xbox version in both instances, I wonder why they changed it so they all use the standard Slig noise.

[@juggernautk.captain5845]

I believe Big Bros were what inspired the design of Steef in Strangers Wrath. But in game, the Steef might have been what inspired the creation of Big Bros (large quadruped guardians with massive arms able to take a lot of punishment and dish it out)

hyperoxygenation is also considered a performance enhancement similar to anabolic steroids. More oxygen/ oxygen-rich blood is seen as a method to stimulate muscle growth and higher endurance, as you're putting less effort into breathing to fuel your cells. Lance Armstrong's "doping" scandal was based around him having transfusions of oxygen-rich blood into his body to give him a higher stamina threshold. Oxygen-rich environments are also associated with disproportionately sized organisms; thus why prehistoric settings with a thicker atmosphere are often depicted as having giant insects. So it is entirely possible the oxygen pump is part of the bulking up procedure.

Something to note about modern optical devices like Night Vision, Thermal or Inferred goggles is that they don't always just have one or two lenses.

I feel like they were given the steroids from a young age, likely as soon as they reach the age were it's not too great of a risk that they might die from it, to promote such abnormal growth. They don't just have bigger muscles, their entire bodies are several times the normal size for a Slig.

5:55 Because this game was made by the same people that created horrifying robot angels that descend from the ceiling from arms that act as both therapists and interrogators, that were originally made to service the depressed Modokon Queen to help her lay more eggs, and that were shown in a promo/cutscene, none of which has actually made it into a game and had to be cut from the only game they almost showed up in. It feels like they are exactly the kind of people who would make you become a Big Bro Slig who just dropped in and go and grab your weapon like an actual Big Bro Slig would just for that little bit of world building and immersion. The thoughts your having "why didn't the Big Bro Slig just drop in with the weapon" are probably the exact thoughts of the Big Bro Slig himself. "Why do I have to go grab my weapon after I drop in, why can't I just pick it up before I jump down?" And the answer is probably because it would make it far too likely that the weapon would hit the sides of the tube and mess up the Big Bro's descent.
