After months and months, I'm finally back with concept art for the Oddswitch AU. This time, it's the Primal Sligs.
So, It is said in canon that Sligs originated form swamps, before becoming Glukkons' main henchmen. In the AU, since Mudokons rule over the world, and really don't need the help of the sligs in any way, they simply left them in their swamps, seeing no primordial use in a creature with no legs (And they doesn't seems to have any culinary qualities, so they are not used for foods either). They developed some fur/moss on their skin to accommodate and is used as a camouflage.
Completely aside of technology, theses sligs rely on what they have. They are still intelligent creature, and have their own languages and culture. Although there's no real signs of civilization among them, they still have tribes, and lives in community. Although they're not as hostile as their canon counterpart, they're still pretty territorial.
