Character Relationships in Slither

Bill Pardy (played by Nathan Fillion) is a protagonist in Slither. Police chief who leads a posse to search for the infected Grant. He discovers the bloated breeder Brenda, escapes the town with teenager Kylie, and later helps rescue Starla and Mayor Jack. He plays a crucial role in the climax by attaching the alien's tentacle to a propane tank, enabling Starla to shoot Grant and destroy the hive mind. Jack MacReady (played by Gregg Henry) appears in Slither. The town's mayor who initially survives the initial parasite outbreak alongside Bill, Starla, and Kylie. He is later captured by the infected and transformed into a breeder for new larvae. During the climax at Grant's house, he begs Bill to end his suffering, and Bill reluctantly euthanizes him to prevent further infection. Kylie Strutemyer (played by Tania Saulnier) appears in Slither. A teenage girl who narrowly avoids infection by manually pulling the alien larvae from her mouth. Her glimpse of the hive mind allows the survivors to deduce that killing Grant will destroy the rest of the aliens. She escapes with Bill Pardy, assists in the final assault on Grant's house, and survives the town's destruction. Brenda Gutierrez (played by Brenda James) appears in Slither. A local woman abducted and infected by Grant to serve as a breeder for the alien larvae. Her body becomes grotesquely bloated before the slug-like larvae burst out, spreading the infection to the rest of the town. Her discovery by Bill's posse marks the beginning of the town-wide infestation. Brenda's Husband (played by Darren Shahlavi) appears in Slither.
