A few years later, honoring a deal he made with his father to wait until his fifteenth birthday, Eli Shane journeys down to Slugterra to follow in his father's footsteps and become protector of this strange new world. Since his only knowledge of Slugterra comes from his dad's letters, Eli quickly makes some new friends and fellow slug-slingers to help him in traversing and protecting Slugterra: a proud [[MoleMen Molenoid]] and (self-proclaimed) master tracker named Pronto, a camera-wielding aspiring documentarian named Trixie, and a strong [[AllTrollsAreDifferent cave troll]] mechanic named Kord. Together, the four members of the Shane Gang travel across the caves of Slugterra and act as protectors of the people, discovering its many secrets and battling the forces of Dr. Blakk, who has created a corrupted slugs called ghouls that he plans on using for his plans to dominate all of Slugterra.

Miles beneath the surface of the earth exists a sprawling underground world called Slugterra, named for the tiny creatures known as Slugs that populate its innumerable caverns. Many of the people who inhabit this subterranean land are gunslingers, but they don't use bullets or gunpowder. , the people of Slugterra use the slugs themselves as ammo, the power and speed of their shots transforming the harmless slugs into powerful monsters with all kinds of different abilities and utilities.

For generations, the men of the Shane family have acted as protectors of Slugterra, its existence known only to them and no one else. But when Will Shane mysteriously disappears following a battle with the villainous Dr. Blakk, Slugterra is left without a protector. However, in the last moments before his disappearance, Will sent out one of his slugs, a fiery little critter named Burpy, to his young son Eli on the surface (its existence itself a legend to the people of Slugterra) to deliver the message telling him he will be the next guardian.

''Sugterra'' is a Canadian-produced animated action/adventure series set in more or less our world with one pretty big exception: the existence of a sprawling underworld called Slugterra. The series is set entirely in this subterranean land and follows Eli Shane and his new friends as they travel and act as protectors of the people. It is basically a {{Mons}} series with a [[AbnormalAmmo twist]].

For generations, the men of the Shane family have acted as protectors of Slugterra. When Will Shane mysteriously disappears, Slugterra is left without a Shane. However, in the last moments before his disappearance, he sent one of his slugs, Burpy, to his son on the surface. A few years later, honoring a deal he made with his father to wait until his fifteenth birthday, Eli Shane journeys down to Slugterra to follow in his father's footsteps and become protector of Slugterra.

Eli quickly makes friends to help him in protecting Slugterra: Pronto, the Molenoid (self proclaimed) master tracker; Trixie, the girl with the camera, ready to document the world; and Kord, the strong cave troll/team mechanic.

A new spin on the Mons concept, this show is brought to you by Creator/NerdCorpsEntertainment, the creators of ''WesternAnimation/DragonBooster'', ''WesternAnimation/StormHawks'', ''WesternAnimation/HotWheelsBattleForce5'', ''WesternAnimation/LeagueOfSuperEvil'', and by the StealthPun of guns that shoot literal live slugs.

* RealityEnsues: A season one episode has the Shane Gang destroy Blakk's [[PsychoSerum Dark Water]] pumping operation. No more Ghouls, right? Wrong. As Shane and the other's note, Blakk is sure to have a surplus stocked away somewhere. Sure enough, the final shot of the episode shows that Blakk has a large vault filled with barrels of the stuff.
** Of course, reality bites Blakk later on, when the Gang start noticing that Blakk's men have started using regular Slugs. While Blakk's supply of Dark Water is ''large'', it's still ''finite''. Combined with the Shane Gang curing Ghouls left and right, Blakk's reached the point where, until a new source can be found, he has to start rationing Dark Water.
