Synopsis
Eli Shane is a teenager determined to be the greatest slug-slinging hero of them all. He can do this only by collecting, training, and dueling little creatures called slugs. Before he came to Slugterra, he had only one slug, a famous slug named Burpy. When first in Slugterra, he finds a friend with a Molenoid named Pronto. Next he finds Trixie, a girl who saves him from a rogue slug-slinger. Then he meets a Cave Troll named Kord. With the help of Pronto he enters a tournament in which he trains and receives more slugs. He gets ready and then tries to stop the nefarious Dr. Thaddeus Blakk and his ghoul slugs.
Slugs
Slugs are tiny creatures found all over Slugterra, a never-imagined underground world. They have special powers according to their element, which are: Fire, Water, Air, Earth and Energy. When these slugs are fired with the help of Blasters, they reach a speed of one hundred miles per hour and transform into a stronger form called Battle Form which can be highly destructive. Once they are fired, they can only be re-used if their Slingers are fast in picking them up and reloading, otherwise they will return to one's hideout if one is friendly to them.
All Slug-Slingers have to expand their arsenal and for that they use certain techniques like only talking, using special slug collecting devices. Slugs need be fed regularly so that they remain healthy, and baby slugs need extra special care to help them mature. If experienced enough, slugs can mega morph/or evolve into an even stronger form called a Mega Morph if they were shot at two hundred miles per hour. If a slug is not experienced enough, it will get thrown off by the speed.
By using an accelerator in the blaster, you can make a slug mega morph more easily.They are kept in special cylinder-shaped cases called slug containers. Blasters have three parts, the base, barrel and space for reloading in which slugs are fitted and then fired by fusing energy of slugs and blaster. The list of slug is as follows:
