Who is brain slug

In Fry's case the Slug soon died of starvation.

The Brain Slug Party has never had a candidate run for office on Earth but it seeks to attach a brain slug to every working man and give great subsidies to the Brain Slug Planet. It promotes itself as being a participant in Earth's democracy but its real aim seems to be making Earth into a tributary state, or in the most extreme to dominate the planet by infiltration of its political system.
