Floppers are the weakest type of Slugs. Their element is unknown. They are very lazy. They can shoot a trail of smoke behind them like a Flatulorhinkus, and on contact, Floppers produce a splat of slime. They don't transform but they are useful in a pinch such as when you don't have a Slug. Eli has one named Noodle that he uses in the episode "Roboslugs". One popular use for Floppers is accuracy training or sparring, as it can't actually hurt an opponent.
- A famous Flopper is Noodle, who belongs to Eli Shane.
- A ghouled version of Flopper has not yet been seen in the show.
Abilities[]
- Stab Fire - You can shoot it in someone's blaster. So, when they fire it, the slug inside the blaster will backfire, therefore attacking its own owner.
- Stretching - Floppers can stretch into useful things like tripwire, or to tie someone or something.
- Slippery - Floppers are extremely slippery, so you can slip someone up by throwing a Flopper in their way so they slip and fall.
- Smoke Bomb - When shot out of a blaster, they can produce a stream of smoke.
Analysis[]
The Flopper is, without doubt, a weak slug, not even as useful in battle as a Fandango. But, a creative slinger could make it somewhat threatening: a foe who is not paying attention to where its walking could trip thanks to a Flopper that previously was tied to a surface. Small things can be knocked over by shooting a Flopper.
The only "attack" that a Flopper has is leaving a trail of smoke behind it as it flies; even if the odds of this attack actually working are low. If it does, immediately slinging a Frostcrawler or an Arachnet is a good way of trying to win a duel, as the opponent will be somewhat vulnerable for a short period of time. Another trick with low odds of working, but with an average reward if it does, is shooting the Flopper into your foe's blaster. The slug will backfire and hit its slinger.

Trivia[]
- 'Flopper' is sometimes used as a catch-all phrase for any slug perceived to be useless in combat.
- In The Journey Home, it seems that many slugs take offense in being called a Flopper.
- Dr. Blakk used to own a Flopper.
- Floppers make a squeaking sound when squeezed, so they are the SlugTerran equivalent of a whoopee cushion. Except they don't like being sat on.
