Snipers are expert marksmen who possess incredible eyesight for a race noted to have poor vision. They are one of the first variety of Sligs encountered in Oddworld: Soulstorm.
These Sligs are incredibly dangerous and act more as stage hazards than actual enemies, since the majority of them are out in the distance, far away from Abe's ability to possess them. Only a few of them were actually close enough to be possessed, with the first being found in Necrum Burial Grounds.
They carry around laser-sighted sniper rifles, a single shot is enough to kill Abe. Fortunately, they are easily identifiable via their laser-sights. Simply avoid their lasers to pass through.
