* CouldHaveTakenTheStairs: The World Beneath Our Feet part 2. Pronto leads Eli to the next stage of the tournament. Eli "nearly died four times". They just reach the top of a sheer cliff over lava when Trixie asks why the two didn't just take the road.



* ElementalPowers: Some slugs have powers like [[PlayingWithFire fire]], [[MakingASplash water]], and [[BlowYouAway tornadoes]].
* ElementalRockPaperScissors: Averted. Though some slugs have an ElementalPower, most slugs have no elemental designation whatsoever.

It just went to show how quickly he builds a friendship with his slugs.



* TheMedic: Healer slugs. They also have the ability to cure slugs that have been ghouled.

Grenuker (supposedly a {{portmanteau}} of grenade and ''nuke'')



* AllTrollsAreDifferent: "You'll never find someone more loyal, honest, and brave than a cave troll." And they're known as the best engineers, crafting many of the passageways used in Slugterra. Though the website refers to "cave troll rage".
* ArtisticLicenseGeology: Slugterra is "over 100 miles" beneath the surface. The Earth's crust averages about half that thickness.



* BloodlessCarnage / NonLethalWarfare: Some slugs have incredibly destructive powers, but no one ever gets hurt.



* CoolPet: Burpy often sits on Eli's shoulder, he can set his head on fire for light, and he also of course turns into a flying flaming manta ray creature when he's shot out of a blaster at 100mph.

* CoolPet: Burpy often sits on Eli's shoulder, he can set his head on fire for light, and he also of course turns into a flying flaming manta ray creature when he's shot out of a blaster at 100mph. The rest of the slugs fit as well.



* CripplingOverspecialization: Eli's first real duel is with a guy who only uses Tazerlings. He's a one trick pony, but it ''is'' a pretty nice trick. [[spoiler:He loses because Tazerlings tend to misfire if they get tired out from overuse, shocking himself.]]

* DeadManWriting: Will Shane sends Burpy to lead Eli to a prepared message.
* DisappearedDad: Will Shane disappeared when Eli was young, though Eli knew all about Slugterra.
* DoNotTouchTheFunnelCloud: One slug has the effect of causing a tornado that only seems to affect the person it hits.



* FamilyFriendlyFirearms: Showing kids pointing guns at people's heads is apparently OK when the ammunition is just so darn ''cute''!
* {{Fartillery}}: [[{{Gasshole}} Flatulorincus]]



* FunctionalMagic: The slugs are magic.
* FungusHumongous: Obligatory giant underground mushrooms abound.
* FunSize: The slugs, and even their larger destructive forms are still rather small.
* {{Gasshole}}: Stinky. He is a [[{{Fartillery}} Flatulorincus]] after all.



* GoodOldFisticuffs: Bludgeon slugs have big ram's horns when transformed. What do they do? Punch you.



* TheGunslinger: Everyone. It's even called "slug''slinging''".



* ICallHerVera: Not a straight example, but Eli may come across as this to some people in-universe, as evidenced by Pronto's reaction to hearing Eli talking to his slug, Burpy. He ''is'' technically naming his ''ammo''.
* JokeCharacter: [[{{Gasshole}} Flatulorincus]] slugs harness the power of [[{{Fartillery}} farts]].
* JustAKid: Everyone's reaction to Eli in the first episode. And disappointment when expecting a Shane.
* KidHero: Eli heads down to Slugterra on the night of his fifteenth birthday.
* LegacyCharacter: They don't pretend to be the same man, but "The Shane" is a title each generation of Eli's family has accepted.
* LethalJokeCharacter: Flatulorincus can be just as effective as other slugs if used properly.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Eli even looks a heck of a lot like his father, Will.
* LoyalAnimalCompanion: Eli's slugs. After winning a duel he even asks which one wants to join him on an adventure rather than just picking the strongest to ensure they'll be this.



* MeetCute: First Trixie saves him from a bandit with one shot and rides off because she's in a hurry. The next time they meet, it's "Excuse me, you're in my shot."
* Mentor: Subverted. Will Shane had hoped to be this for his son on his first trip to Slugterra.



* NeverSayDie: Will Shane is sucked into an uncontrollable vortex that leaves a blackened crater, but no one ever suggests he could be dead.
* NoSenseOfDirection: For a "master tracker" and explorer Pronto seems to get lost often. He may get you to where you need to go, but it will be the scenic route and possibly through unnecessary peril.
* ParrotPetPosition: Burpy often spends more time on Eli's shoulder than in its canister.



* TournamentArc: Not really an arc, but the two part series premiere follows Eli through a tournament as he gets a hang of slugslinging and gathers a variety of new slugs.

to:

* PursuingParentalPerils: Eli knows that his father disappeared protecting Slugterra, but he's still determined to follow in his footsteps.
* {{Shapeshifting}}: The slugs transform from cute little creatures into more powerful versions of their species, but only when traveling at least 100 mph.
* SwissArmyGun: Since each type of slug has its own effect, every blaster is this.

Deep underground in the secret world of Slugterra people use slugs as ammunition in slugslinging.

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 just how much the world needs a Shane again; and Kord, the strong, intelligent, and loyal cave troll.

A refreshingly new spin on the Mons concept, this show is brought to you by the creators of DragonBooster, StormHawks, HotWheelsBattleForce5, and LeagueOfSuperEvil.
