The Legendary sannin Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade have summoning contracts
with toads, snakes and slugs respectively. While Jiraiya and Orochimaru summon
different toads and snakes on different occasions, Katsuyu is the only slug
that Tsunade has summoned.

Later, their students, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura gain their summoning
techniques. Naruto and Sasuke summon different toads and snakes. However, when
Sakura summons a slug in Chapter 634, it is Katsuyu again.

Are there any slugs besides Katsuyu in the Naruto universe?

As of Chapter 655, Katsuyu is the only slug to have been seen summoned using
Kuchiyose no Jutsu, by Tsunade and Sakura.1 The only other character known
that _could_ count as a slug is Saiken, also known as Rokubi (Six Tails).

Kishimoto has also drawn three other slugs on the cover pages of Chapter 4,
Chapter 153, and Chapter 162.

1 While we have seen toads at Myoboku Mountain, and the White Snake Sage at
Ryuchi Cave, the Shikkotsu Forest where slugs reside has not been shown yet.
