We get in to a slippery territory when we start debating definitions as definitions seem to evolve and at times be subjective.  

In the scenario you described I would define the slug as a Creator, not a God.  Why?  Because the slug died.  Death is a natural occurrence.  ALL biological entities are constrained by the limits of nature and will cease to exist.  "God" by definition is outside of natural law, space and time and would have no limits.  Limitations only make sense in a universe governed by demonstrable limits.  This concept is difficult to grasp since we are constrained by limits and have no way to apply personal experiences to such deistic qualities.

A "God" is really just an entity that is outside of and not limited by their creation.  They make the rules, they can manipulate as they choose to and the creation is bound to the limits set upon it.
My question to you would then be, was Jesus 100% god, 100% human, both, or neither?  Because when people say that "Jesus died for your sins," they aren't talking only about the body-puppet he was inhabiting at the time, otherwise "Jesus" as an entity never really died, he just left his 'host' body.  I see a problem here if you claim that Jesus is God, a God cannot die, and Jesus died for our sins.

I know some will see this as a cop out or an unverifiable conclusion, etc but go back to the definition I provided of a God.  A God would not be limited in its ability.  I believe Jesus was both God and human, God in human form.  The description of miracles he performed would show the power to not be limited by natural laws.  Walking on water, calming storms, healing sick, raising from the dead etc.  You will say, ahh but he DID die showing he was limited just as humans are.  Which is no argument at all given the resurrection of the body.  We are now getting in to specifics about claims that very few on here would care about and I don't want to stray too far from the topic.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
