Violet Slug [+]

Name: Violet Slug

Lifespan: 3 months

Description: Both herbivores and fungivores, Violet Slugs inch their way around the forest floor and the bottom of the trees, engulfing whatever tasty morsels they can find. They are single-minded and incredibly oblivious, making them prey for a great many creatures. Even sentient beings can sustain themselves on its oddly-textured but bland-tasting meat. Their phosphorescent patches glow in the absence of light. They breed and reproduce quickly, and might plague the ecosystem if not for their idiocy.

Appearance: Violet Slug

I've got another question:

How large is a Violet Slug?

<Snipped quote by Lugubrious>

My guess is somewhere around the size of a rabbit. Although they could also be regular slug sized.

Being the poster child for someone with way too many plots to juggle, I won't jump on and claim Aeramen (or Crucibar and his rabble!) in case someone else wants to do something. However, I might well try to find ways to weave this into future plots.

What's the timeline on when Aeramen was visited by Vestec? I have an idea for a post with Xos making the rounds and paying a visit to some djinni lords.

A little bigger than a rabbit, but not much.

Long time no see, Lugu!

Hello! Nice as it is to drop by, I probably wouldn't have if I wasn't mentioned, I'm afraid. That doesn't mean I'm not glad to answer any questions anyone might have about Slough's stuff, though.

Excellent. That is a manageable size. I doubted they would be much larger, given their lifespan, but if they were much smaller there wouldn't be much of them to eat.

Violet slugs are edible, docile, containable, breed quickly, easy to feed...

If Sharon were here, she could have massaged some of the tension out of my body.

On that note, how widespread are the Slugs? They seem to have started out as Deepwoods creatures, but must have propagated a fair bit to be a common sight as far south as Tallgrass.

- Metera seems a little further east and more inundated than usual on that map.

- The Valley of Peace is traditionally inside the ring of mountains Niciel made.
- I was under the impression that Angelbood Ridge was on the southmost side of the Nice Mountains' ring.

- The isles in the Metatic are pretty huge on that map. However, the map scale is a bit strange in comparison to Earth anyway, so that's not so much of an issue.

It might be worth keeping the Howling Gap labelled, even now that Basheer is free and the mountain pass no longer howls nearly so much.
