Slorg are a mollusc-like creature found on Magnus.
A more dangerous variant called the armored slorg also appeared as an enemy, adding an orange shell and goggles for extra defense. The intelligence of the armored slorg may imply they are under loki possession.
Both types of slorgs are invulnerable to every weapon in All 4 One except for the OmegaTech Frost Cannon.
Slorgs are a delicacy on some planets.[1]
Characteristics[]
If shot they will slide around at fast speeds, bouncing off any wall in their way. In terms of size, they were slightly taller than Qwark. Slorgs appear to be largest native ocean predator found on planet Magnus, and were found roaming around Octonok Cay.
Ratchet, Clank, Qwark, and Dr. Nefarious defeated the King Sepiad by shooting slorgs into its mouth.
Combat[]

Slorgs are slow moving predators, but they are not weak. Slorgs gave off massive amounts of electricity that would shock a hero if he even touched it. They tended to be in groups on small boardwalk platforms leaving little room to avoid them.
Blasting them only sent them sliding across the boardwalk at high speeds, and could cause them to bounce into the player. If the player aimed properly, it was possible to knock them off the edge and into the water to defeat them.
The most effective way to defeat a slorg was to use the OmegaTech Frost Cannon to freeze it and then shatter it with any weapon. Otherwise, a slorg is only able to be defeated by falling into the water.

Originally similar enemies known as zombie jellyfish were to appear, however they were re-invented into the slorg.
The skill point "On Some Planets They're a Delicacy" could be earned by shooting all of the slorgs back into the waters of Octonok Cay.
A creature with a similar name was mentioned in Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, known as a slorg rat.

Slorgs logos appear on containers in Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault on planet Proteus VII at the GrummelNet Plasma Harvester. A slorg utilizing mechanical legs to move around also appears as a skin in the multiplayer of Full Frontal Assault
In Rift Apart, holograms of the slorg's counterparts in Rivet's dimension can be seen on some building's rooftops in Nefarious City. With them being a delicacy on some planets, it is possible they are eaten in the city at certain establishments. They are shown to have very transparent bodies here with their brains being visible, the same as depicted in their concept art. This detail seems to have been omitted previously due to the technical limitations that All 4 One was made with.
