In the Episode Roboslugs, Quentin, a brilliant scientist, developed a serious case of Molluscophobia, an extreme fear of Slugs when he was a kid. This fear turned into hatred which drove Quentin to create Artificial Slugs, which he used to enforce his rule of Futuria Cavern.
Roboslug - Using his special high-tech glasses, Quentin can upload any counter measure from any database into the Roboslugs brains to defeat any slug slung at him. Unfortunately, this can be a flaw as some slugs are unknown. i.e. he wasn't able to download a defense for the Enigmo Slug (Mo) that Eli had to distract/Defeat him.
