Slugs

Slop smurgle

Also known as the, The Slugs are a species often made of fluid often made of various biotic and abiotic elements of the world. Species originally by EarlGrey.

Blood Slug
Locations: Caves This particular species of slug is called a Blood Slug, as it forms its body from the blood of various creatures. Instead of a body made of individual cells working together, the slug is made of one giant blood cell using its organelles to communicate and take in nutrients. Though it makes its body from blood, and is its main nutrient source, the slug also requires other nutrients from flesh and plants.

The Blood Slug lives in the darkest, dankest of caves, so it can retain fluidity and efficiency. It can slip into any crack in the walls, and makes a moist home in any small area. You can often spot a Blood Slug nest if a crack in a cave wall is mysteriously leaking blood. Be careful; they will charge out of their nest and attack if they sense you nearby, so when you see a sign of a Blood Slug nest, back away slowly and exit the cave. The Blood Slug, however, is often viewed as an evil presence due to its makeup. The most basic carrying a normal crimson coloring, with other variants being blue, purple, green, spotted throughout the land of Tanzanite. They're like parasites; the adults spray the children at people, and those people get covered in a gross red goop. What they don't know is that there are microscopic beings in that goop, and they wiggle their way into the person's skin. Most people think the ink is a self defense mechanism, and the tiny red dots on their skin is just a reaction. When that person dies, the children quickly consume the blood in the person's corpse, and they fight to see who survives. Usually 1-3 kids spawn from a body, emerging from the dried husk to fill themselves with more blood. The youngsters are vicious, attacking small children and animals, just to swell with blood. When they've grown to a large enough size to defend even against the toughest of humanoids, they find a hidden crevasse to live in. They go out sometimes to hunt, but far less often than the kids.

They're at their most insane during the Lunar Eclipse, spraying like mad so that when the people eventually get slaughtered, the kids get to eat the person's blood and whatever attacked that person.

They usually feast on red but given the variety of blood colors in Tanzanite, if they happen to be in an area with a high amount of different coloured blood, they turn that colour, the blood the children feast on is the adult colour. However It takes a lot of blood to change the colour, if they're an adult.
