Who is Slug?

Slug, officially known as the “Slow Slug” or “Archie the Scare Pig,” is a minor yet memorable character from Monsters University, Pixar’s prequel to Monsters, Inc..

Slug is a student at the university, known for his hilarious introduction scene. On the first day of school, Slug enthusiastically declares his excitement about getting to class on time. However, his physical form—a bright orange, snail-like body with a comically slow pace—makes it evident that he’ll never achieve his goal. The scene humorously cuts to nighttime as Slug is still crawling on the pathway, hopelessly far from his classroom.

Slug doesn’t have dialogue beyond his initial exclamation, but his exaggerated movements and determination make him a standout moment of comic relief. The absurdity of his situation resonates with audiences, adding to the film’s charm.
