Slug Bat


Slug Bats are strange aberrations of nature. They have characteristics of bats, mollusks, and primates, but fit nowhere in the established evolutionary taxonomy. Some of the stranger theories include that they are aliens, or are otherwise somehow artificial.

Gurlaskulgs


Gurlaskulgs are a race descended from river dwelling gastropods. They spend the first half of their lives in water as larva, to emerge only when fully mature. Their lack of appendages by which to manipulate tools have left them at a disadvantage, thus they tend to employ personal transport vehicles manufactured by other races.

Sulgulof


The Sulgulof are a race of land dwelling mollusks.Their planet orbits a dwarf blue star which gives off a very low amount of sunlight, and as a consequence daylight never reaches above twilight anywhere on the planet. As a result the Sulgulof have evolved with the ability to see far into the infrared and ultraviolet ends of the spectrum.

Oggols


Oggols was a lowly sanitation worker in a major city, who accidently spilled a barrel of illegal toxic garden fertilizer upon himself. The bizarre chemicals altered his genetic code, awakening long dormant traits floating around in his junk DNA, and made him grow eyeballs and stuff. Oggols has a squishy, rubbery body, able to take abnormal amounts of abuse and punishment without injury. His thick skin is impervious to gunfire, flame, and can withstand doses of radiation that would kill normal people. 

Oggols vowed to use his new slug-powers to fight crime, but still spends most of his time sifting through other people's garbage.

Thunder Slug


The enigmatic creatures known as "Thunder Slugs" began as a group of normal garden slugs which were on the receiving end of a bizarre series of lightning strikes. Instead of frying them into little charred husks, the small mollusks were somehow able to absorb the electrical energy, due to a mutation triggered exposure to a new type of insecticide. Their newfound powers gave the slugs the ability to channels electricity for a variety of effects, including flight and defensive electrical discharges.

Thunder slugs usually follow major storm systems, where they can often be seen "riding" thunderclouds.

Fluggs

Fluggs are a strange race that evolved from soft-bodied, slug-like creatures. They tend to make their homes in swamps, bogs, or wetlands, as they must stay close to water as their skins will dry out.

Acochiopod

Acochiopods are flying, vampiric, undead mollusks, a distant relative of the Vampire Slugs. They tend to swarm over warm blooded prey at night, but like all vampires must avoid direct sunlight.

Slugplodicus

The Slugplodicus is a massive, mollusk-like saurian recently discovered in deep South Asian jungles. The creatures are massive, measuring up to 40 feet from toes to the tip of the eyestalk. They are generally peaceful, but will aggressively attack any threat towards their young.

Carrion Slug

Carrion Slug are among the small group of rare mollusks to inhabit Hell. As the infernal planes are nearly devoid of water, the slugs have taken to using other liquids to obtain moisture. The creatures will slowly swarm on a sleeping demon or soul and rapidly drain it of all blood, leaving a withered husk in the morning. They are generally regarded as pests and are exterminated on sight, although several demon species enjoy feasting upon them, usually raw.

Slug Monkey


Slug Monkeys are strange mutations which began ravaging crops in the American bread-basket. The creatures are able to move surprisingly fast, despite their slug-like nature, and can consume three times their own body weight per day. So far efforts to eradicate the creatures have been thwarted by private citizens illegally keeping them as pets.

Sluggusaur

The Sluggusaur is a gigantic hideous mutation spawned from a slug feeding from gigantic plants which were grown from fertilizer tainted with radioactive waste. The Sluggusaur is slow moving but unintentionally destructive. The creature's thick hide makes it nearly invulnerable to all forms of weaponry.

Turtle Slug

Turtle Slugs are scientific chimeras, genetically engineered by the Cristix corporation for the designer pet market. Although they were significant sellers, they soon lost popularity as most children found them slow moving and "boring."

Terrschnecke

Terrschneckes are a bred of large, land dwelling mollusks. Like other land mollusks (such as snails or slugs,) Terrschneckes have only one "foot," however they have evolved a number of stump-like protrusions which act as "legs," which allows the creature to obtain considerable speeds when chasing prey. Terrschneckes have no eyes, it is believed they navigate though smell and a form of echo location.

Slig

In Frank Herbert's Dune novels, a Slig is a slug/pig hybrid created by the Bene Tleilaxu. They are bred for their meat (described as "The sweetest meat this side of heaven,") and for their ability to feed on and control garbage. The Tleilaxu themselves do not eat Slig meat, which they regard according to their strict religious practices as "unclean."

Vampire Slug


Large bloodsucking slugs found in eastern European swamps. Unlike similarly named animals which merely drink blood (such as Vampire Bats,) in this case the name is a little more accurate. This is a population of slugs which have actually been infected with vampirism. Several thousand years ago it is believed a vampire found himself isolated in a swamp, and was forced to spend the daylight hours buried in mud. During this time several slugs fed off his body and became infected. Over the years the infection spread to many of the other slugs in the area. Some of the older slugs even have developed "Vampire" powers like their human counterparts.

Gugs


Gugs were once a race of fierce alien invaders which held the whole galaxy in their thrall. After a resounding defeat by the United Alliance of Planets and humiliating surrender terms, the once proud fighting force has been broken and spread throughout the cosmos. Gugs nowadays are generally peaceful, hardworking, and sincere, but are held back by the stigma of their conquering past. They tend to find work in the most menial of professions (hard labor, waste disposal, cab driving.)

There is a high instance of tobacco use among their kind. Gug smugglers are among the many races which illegally visit Earth on a regular basis to obtain such contraband.

Brain Slug


These hideous, slimy things just appeared one day from out of nowhere. There is nothing in the fossil record of such a creature and no mention of anything resembling them in recorded history. Yet suddenly they seemed to have appeared in and around major population centers overnight for no discernible reason. The "Brain Slug" is named so for it's wrinkly appearance, however the actual creature is not very intelligent. They are voracious eaters but so far seemed to limit themselves to consuming garbage and waste products, although there are rumors of "packs" of the slow moving creatures attacking homeless in parks and sewers.

Abyssal Vacuum Slug


A creature native to the 8th level of hell, the Abyssal Vacuum Slug performs the dubious honor of snatching up various half dead souls scattered about the place and flinging them both into its jaws and over its back where a second super sucking mouth snatches them out of the air. Its many eyes are ideal for scanning the endless fields of carnage and swiftly picking up more victims. Those who were slovenly in life are reborn as these foul horrors as they are cursed to clean Hell endlessly until the end of time.

Vampire Slug


Bizarre alien vampire slugs from another planet. Unlike their Earthborn counterparts these slugs grow to 4 feet long and are capable of moving very quickly through the air. One of them can quickly incapacitate a full grown man.
