Slangors

Slangors are a fictional sapient species central to speculative fiction, tabletop games, and online lore. They are defined by a remarkable facility with language, slang, and wordplay, and are typically portrayed as social, curious, and adaptable.

Etymology: The term slangor blends slang with the agentive suffix -or, signaling a being associated with slang creation. The name entered fan circles and early game supplements and has since been used broadly to designate language-centric peoples or characters.

Biology and appearance: Slangors are described as diverse in form; no single type is canonical. In many works they resemble humanoids with agile mouths and expressive faces, though some depictions show amphibious or non-humanoid variants. The common thread is a flexible vocal apparatus.

Culture and society: Cultural life centers on communal language invention, humor, and negotiation. Many slangors organize into lexicons or guilds where slang is created, tested in social rituals, and archived. Social status often correlates with linguistic creativity and the ability to borrow terms from others.

Language and communication: Slangors employ rapid slang evolution, code-switching, and form-blending neologisms. They favor puns, metaphor, and phonetic play. Written forms often use decorative spelling to reflect speech patterns. Multilingual environments are common in their lore.

In media and reception: Slangors appear as protagonists, diplomats, or cultural consultants who leverage language as a strategic resource. They influence fan communities by expanding glossaries of slang and by modeling playful linguistic innovation.
