Slugterra

Slugterra is an American/Canadian animated television series created by Asaph Fipke. It premiered on Disney XD on October 15, 2012, at 3:30 PM ET. The series is produced by the Canadian animation studio Nerd Corps Entertainment.

Eli Shane is a young man 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, an infurnus which he named Burpy. When first in Slugterra, he finds a friend in 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. Blakk with his dark 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, Light, Dark, Freak slugs, Metal, Toxic, Ice, Plant, Electricity. When these slugs are fired with the help of blasters, they reach a speed of one hundred miles per hour and transform into a powerful form which is destructive. Once they are fired, they can only be re-used if you 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 and slug catching hook. If they are baby slugs one has to feed them regularly so that they remain healthy. 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:

Main characters

• Eli Shane (voiced by Samuel Vincent): The series main protagonist who grew up on the surface, always dreaming of the day his father would take him down to Slugterra to become The Shane - a slugslinging hero who protects this amazing underground world from bad guys! When Will Shane goes missing, it's up to Eli to make the drop down to Slugterra alone on his 15th birthday, as well as learn how to become the greatest slugslinger. He was in the slugterra tournament and almost won but he lost by an opponent. He currently is the only Shane that is in Slugterra. Eli has a high potential and is ready to take any evil in Slugterra, he is also the one to technically name the 'Ghoul' Slugs.
• Pronto the magnificent (voiced by Lee Tockar): A proud and knowledgeable molenoid tracker. He is a master rogue, slugslinger and adventurer... or at least that's how he tells it. Molenoids have a built-in magnetic compass that means they can find their way almost anywhere. Unfortunately this has completely gone to his head, which is why Pronto's been kicked out of almost every cavern he's ever been to at least once! For a tracker his sense of direction is surprisingly awful. Luckily his Slugsniper rifle aim is pretty good!
• Beatrice "Trixie" Sting (voiced by Shannon Chan-Kent): She is no slouch on the slugslinging field, along with that her blaster packs a mean slug punch! Though she likes to keep an eye out for unusual slugs, Trixie's always got her head in the game and can often spot an exit or a smart strategy when the team is caught up in the fight. The Shane Gang's resident slug expert, Trixie's dream is to make a documentary film all about the funny little creatures called slugs. Nobody in Slugterra seems to realize slugs have feelings, a chirp-based language, as well as a society all their own, but she's going to prove it to everyone in her one-minute Slugisodes.
• Kord Zane (voiced by Andrew Francis): A huge cave troll. He is a gear-head mechanic who fixes the team's mecha-beasts and upgrades their blasters. His favorite thing to do is play practical jokes, usually on Pronto! He's pretty easy-going, as well as it's rare to see any of the typical Cave Troll Rage in Kord. This mountain of muscle has a big heart to match his giant biceps, but watch out! Kord's got a wicked slinging arm.

Villains

• Dr. Thaddius Blakk (voiced by Mark Oliver): The series main antagonist and the owner of Blakk Industries. His business dealings and the creation of the Slugterranian Express train have made him a rich and powerful man. Ultimately, his business is hiding his true purpose: to control all of Slugterra and destroy the magical slug energy that protects this underground world. A powerful slugslinger with a terrifying multi-shot Harbinger Firestorm blaster, Blakk has corrupted his slugs through the dark science of ghouling, turning them into ruthless shadows of their former sluggy selves.
• Dr. Blakk's goons: Dr. Blakk hires hundreds of goons to do his bidding.

• El Diablos Nacho (voiced by Brian Drummond): Blakk's right-hand man. Some have seen strange signs that may say there is more to him, maybe even that he is some kind of human or troll ghouling.In the episode 'What lies beneath' it is revealed that he is the leader of the DarkBane trying to conquer the world.
• Twist (voiced by David A. Kaye): a SlugSlinger who befriended the "Shane Gang" but was in fact working for Dr. Blakk. He has a deep hatred towards Will and Eli Shane, for believing Will responsible for his family's death. Twist becomes Blakk's apprentice after firing El Diablos Nacho. He has a ghoul slug named "Loki", with powers that mimic the powers of the deity of the same name.
• John Bull (voiced by Lee Tockar): A Slugslinger who is known as the best on the tournament circuit. He owns a Ghoul Slug.
• Sedo (voiced by Sam Vincent): A molenoid who works for Dr. Blakk and Pronto's life long nemesis.
• Locke and Lode (voiced by Mark Oliver and Lee Tockar): Two twin Slugslingers who work for Dr. Blakk. Both brothers are large built men with large backpacks and heavy armor.

• HooliGang: a trio of Slugslingers who wreck havoc in Quiet Lawn Cavern by shooting trick shots.

• Billy (voiced by Brian Drummond): The leader of the HooliGang. He spends a large amount of his time illegally perfecting his Mecha-beast, stealing anything good to add to his.
• Shorty: A member of the HooliGang. She has a sawed-off slinger.
• Glasses: A member of the HooliGang. He is short, as well as has been known to create, albeit very bad, graffiti for fun.

• Mr. Saturday (voiced by Scott McNeil): A Slugslinger from the tropical caverns who has been rumored to experiment with dark slug magic.
• Dark Bane:

• Brimstone: Leader of the DarkBane and Diablos Nacho's true master.
