Omg I thought I was the only one that had this theory
(side note- while not as prominent of an example as Loki or the slugs in "What Lies Beneath", Saturday's Cryptogriff snitches on the Shane Gang's presence in Sawn Of the Slug so it clearly has some form of intelligence/loyalty outside of being a feral goblin)
Something that's always tickled my brain is how most ghouls are feral and uncontrollable, with two major exceptions. Loki and all the slugs in "What Lies Beneath," with a focus on Burpy.
Loki is the first ghoul we can see that is capable of self-control. He even behaves like a normal (if slightly more malicious) slug. The only real clues we get that he's a ghoul are that his "illusion" showed up on camera and that he wouldn't touch Doc.
The other slugs, especially Burpy, in What Lies Beneath, behave similarly. We even see Burpy act like himself, just more unhinged. I have a theory on why this is. With Burpy, he was willing to undergo the ghouling process and didn't flinch once. My theory is that if a slug is willing to be ghouled, it can resist the mind-altering effects of Dark Water to a degree. I imagine the process is very traumatic for the poor guys, so maybe that mindless savagery is a coping mechanism for what was done to them. Since Burpy and Loki didn't fight it, they came out fairly unchanged, at least in the personality department.
Anyways, thought over, do with it what you will.
Alright, it looks like we got the Shane Gang finally. They have been really hard to catch because they are so skilled, but fortunately, we have them in this enclosed space.

After re-reading the Cryptogriff's page on the fandom wiki I think we should be grateful that Saturday (and the Emperor too I guess but Idc about him) only used the Cryptogriff for mind control because WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS IS ONE OF IT'S ABILITIES
"Mindshlock - Paralyzes opponent, but makes them see creepy crawlies all over them."
I AM BEGGING FOR YOUR FINEST PARDON LIKE SATURDAY BEGGING FOR BLAKK'S FORGIVENESS AFTER HE FINDS OUT HE DISOBEYED A DIRECT ORDER WHY CAN IT DO THAT?
I thought the mind control was overpowered but this is genuinely absurd because that's basically another instant-win attack.
like how are you supposed to fight back against that? Even if you aren't scared of the bugs you're still paralyzed so it's not like you can fight back.
other than that it also has the ability to overwhelm an opponent with vertigo and motion sickness which is only a little less overpowered than the other 2.
other than The Goon and the ghouled elementals, the Cryptogriff HAS to be one of if not the most powerful ghoul slugs.

Mr. Saturday bless my soul lolLook at his face! I love him so much! Someone get him a smoothie!
I don't like either of these characters but it just fit way too well for me to not do this.
ok i’m sorry but i have always fuckin hated Pronto-
like he is so selfish and self absorbed. he always screws things up and falls for so many scams. i get that he’s probably supposed to be the comedic relief character but he just isn’t funny, he’s just annoying.
Took me a while to find the original image for this one
Also im posting this like 1 week late but who cares (iIwas going to make an actual meme for pride month today and post it a week late for the funny but I got into a boss fight against a mosquito last night which lasted for like 30 minutes and only had enough brainrot power to bring this into existence)
Trixie is thankfully safe because I don't think Chris Pratt would be able to voice a female but Burpy could always become the dreaded "marketable talking animal companion" so he isn't safe.
I mostly post Slugterra memes(I am in other fandoms)
