I don't think anyones answer could be wrong per se.
I find it difficult to determine how SNK decides to name anything. I mean, I think they just pick the names because they sound cool to the Japanese ear (I read this is how they pick names like ,,pokari sweat" for their soda)
I mean, this is the company that brings us characters with names then when they aren't Japanese names, they are names like Geese, Rock, Maxima, Krizalid, Rugal etc. --cool names, but I don't see what they neccesarily have to do with anything related to the character. (sure you can strech it though)
-though personally I think they are called slugs, for the same reason some animes call giant anime robots "armors". That is, they name the game after a piece of machinery or weapon or something because it sounds neat, (C'mon, "metal slug" that sounds like the name of a badass rockband or something) and then name the robot/mecha/whatever after this instead of just calling it a "robot" or "submarine" etc.

They are slow like slugs and they look like them, especially the caterpillar part. They couldn't have called them Metal Caterpillars though because that doesn't sound half as smooth.
