Tormato slugs are common air slugs. They are orange slugs with yellow underbellies and yellow horns. They can create gale-force winds to blow an opposing slug or slugslinger right out of your way or even produce a rampaging tornado!
- A famous Tormato is Bluster, who belongs to Beatrice Sting.
- A ghouled Tormato is called a Tempesto.
Attacks[]
- Protoform Abilities - Blows a small jet of air, like a hairdryer.
- Galestorm - Stops in mid-air and blows gale force winds, making it hard to stand, see or fight.
- Airhammer - A ball of super dense air surrounds the flying Slug, hitting like a hammer blow.
- Slyphoon - Spins in the air, producing a rampaging tornado.
- Windshield - Tornado spins around a slugslinger, protecting them from shots.
Analysis[]
The Tormato is an incredibly versatile slug, both offensively and defensively: its Galestorm attack can be used to handicap foes and to neutralize lots of slugs at the same time, making it a perfect way to help slugs like Rammstone to reach the target. Its Slyphoon attack is perfect for generating chaos and hitting the enemy hard, and so is Airhammer. Windshield is a purely defensive and supportive move. Its weakness are slugs that can hit the Tormato before or during his attacks, like Tazerlings; outside of battle they can be useful to blow obstacles out of the way and to save yourself from deadly falls.
Fusion Shots[]
- Boulderstorm: "Tormato" + "Rammstone" - Rammstone launches Tormato at multiple opponents as the Tormato creates a rampaging cyclone filled with boulders.
Trivia[]
- Its concept art page spells its name as 'Tornato'.
- In Mission: Improbable, Pronto used one to stop Mr. Saturday's spinning blaster and makes it spin the opposite way, causing the Cryptogrif's spell to backfire and knock down Mr. Saturday.
- The Tormato bares a strong resemblance to an early concept of the Flaringo. The only real difference is that it had regular arms instead of wings.
- Its name was called Bluster in Pack Your Slugs! although it is a Tormato.
- In Club Slug, a guy in an advertisement states his Tormato learned 5 new moves, although a Tormato only has 4 moves. It could be possible that the guy in the advertisement was exaggerating.
