The giant slug is an enormous, boneless mollusk, a glistening, rubbery mass that hauls itself forward on a slime trail, devouring vegetation, carrion, and anything slower than itself. Despite its sluggish pace it is dangerous: it rasps flesh away with a file-like tongue and can spit a stream of corrosive acid several paces. Its rubbery body absorbs blunt, crushing blows almost harmlessly; only cutting and piercing weapons wound it, and even then it oozes onward, hard to stop.

Behavior

  • Creeps slowly along a glistening slime trail, eating constantly
  • Rasps prey with a rough, grinding tongue
  • Spits a gout of corrosive acid at threats beyond reach
  • Shrugs off blunt and crushing blows; only edged or pointed weapons cut it

Abilities

  • Acid Spit. Hurls a stream of corrosive slime that burns flesh and gear.
  • Rasping Tongue. A file-like tongue that grinds away flesh.
  • Rubbery Hide. Blunt and crushing attacks barely harm it; it is vulnerable mainly to cutting and piercing weapons.

Drops & Crafting

  • Corrosive slime (acid for etching, alchemy, traps)
  • Thick rubbery hide (waterproof, flexible)
  • Slime trail residue (lubricant, glue base)
