Most slugs I've seen look like this:

Those aren't antennae, they're eyes and mouth parts.

The same kind of slug that has white eyeballs and grow taller than your leg.
But probably meant to be antennas due to their position on the head.

But it's not an Earth slug though.

Edit: Oh right. Tentacles, I see the difference now.

That's true... PLUS, it's eyes are clearly visible on it's face, which means they probably are antennas. Suck that, RoboBlue. :p

I think they are quantic sub-mass electromagnetic pulsatory receiver... :crazy

The Poison Slugs are out of this world, alien... those ears/antennas/tentacles/whatever could be anything else because they are ALIEN :dopekeen

Anyway about the slug, when I was a kid I always thought that was a slug with a lamp besides it. Olso in Keen 1 the metallic buildings

Image

as a kid were teddy bears
and the first level structure and the yellow one

Image
Image

were definitely mountain structures.

Olso when you look at this formation in Keen 1, what do you see?

Image

Because I see a burger or hot dog ...

I knew they were slugs because I read through Beyond the Pogo before playing the games.

I thought those things in the ground in Keen 4 were squirrels gnawing on an acorn...
