First Appearance	The Pig City
First Demo Appearance	April 2021 Build

Pizza Slug is an enemy in Pizza Tower.

Description

Pizza Slug is a pizza slice with retractile arms wearing a blue bowtie. He has a grumpy disposition and holds a cigar in his mouth. Elite Pizza Slugs have red bowties instead.

Behavior

Both Pizza Slug variants slide around on the ground, stopping or turning around at random. Upon spotting the player, regular Pizza Slug will cough up smoke in the direction the player is at. The fumes take the form of a black cloud directly in front of Pizza Slug and will damage the player on contact. The fume itself dissipates quickly.

Elite Pizza Slugs will instead stop to pull out a revolver and use it to fire a blast in the player's direction when they enter his line of sight.

Appears in

• The Pig City
• The Crumbling Tower of Pizza

Trivia

• The Heat Meter attack for the Pizza Slug was pulling out a revolver and firing it at the player, identical to the Elite behavior in the final game.
  • In the final release, The elite variations of Pizza Slug and Shrimp Thug, as well as the Tribe Cheese, Bandito Chicken and U.F.Olive, remained the only enemies to still use their Heat Meter behaviour.
• The original concept art depicts Pizza Slugs adorned with pepperoni slices under their face instead of wearing a bowtie.
