'''Slabs''' were [[robot]]ic beings, typically [[android]]s, used by individuals of various races, (typically criminals) as basic slave drones. They tended to travel in pairs. They had a vague form as to not provoke suspicion, but their attitude and internal anatomy were very unusual - they obeyed the commands of their master, disrespected other beings, did not speak and had the same composition all the way through.

Slabs worked for Uvlavad Kudlak and were helping him to capture children for the war of the Uvodni against the Malakh Empire. (TV: Warriors of Kudlak)

When Amélie Plasmavore disguised herself as a human child, she had two Slabs act as her parents, Henri Plasmavore and Madeleine Plasmavore. (PROSE: Christmas with the Plasmavores)
