Thug Slugs are capable of traversing platforms from all sides, not just from their top, and are not as sluggish as expected. They crawl straightforwardly at a hasty pace in an attempt to touch and hurt the Kongs. Attacking a Thug Slug by physical contact is not a recommended idea if the enemy is currently clinging to ceilings or vertical surfaces, and in this stance it can only be vanquished by tossing a carriable object, such as a barrel, into it. However, the slug enemy becomes completely unwary of any of the player's attacks once it returns on ground, and a single stomp on its hunch can defeat it.

It is possible to briefly stun this enemy by making it dizzy. This can be achieved by either shooting into it with a popgun, or ground pounding next to it.
