The Flying Slig Harness is a device designed specifically to provide Sligs with support not just by land, but by air.
Prototype Harness
The first prototype of the 'wings' were actually wing-like (As seen in the intro of Abe's Exoddus) not helicopter blades. Why this was changed was the old wings had many problems. Such as, the flying slig in the beginning of Exoddus had the older wings. He claims, "Something smells." before flying off, a few seconds later there is a explosion. The smell was the lubricant in the wings failing, the wings stopped moving, and the slig crashed and exploded.
Standard Harness
Instead of legs, this Slig is given an engine not unlike that of a helicopter rotor. They also receive different weapons than those of their ground-based brothers; they are equipped with grenade launchers. Less accurate than the machine guns but pack more punch. Due to the sub-standard intelligence of the Slig species they quite frequently blow themselves up with these said grenades.
