Thanhic Slug

Habitat: Ocean floors, sea caves, cold mountains, area's with thanhium

Description:

Slug background lore:

The creation of the Thanhic Slug is a long one that traces back many years of sea slugs living along the Harian coastline, following the experiments with thanhium and other magical elements in the city and nearby labs, the dumping of the byproducts of both thanhium and other magical products into the ocean slowly resulted in a transformation of the sea slug, the slug slowly turned a bluish color, much akin to its namesake, thanhic, and began to produce a slimy substance that resembled the effects of typical thanhium poisoning, a good many remained in their environment of Haria, but a few moved along, seeking colder waters away from the warm Harian coast.

The crowning of a slug queen:

The creation of an actual slug queen is an interesting prospect, it seems to only occur when a slug eats solid matter while no other queen exists in the area, the massive swelling that would typically kill the slug in turn results in the fattening of the slug and its ability to produce offspring.

Queen Slug:

The queen slug herself is a rather reclusive creature, opting to lay within the cold depths of a cave creating her young, she produces a much greater amount of venom then her offspring, lining the walls with the liquid as to prevent herself from becoming overheated.

The Slugs:

The slugs themselves are rather interesting vermin, they carry a distinct blue color, they're actual mouth's resembling a circle of sharp teeth, they are hermaphrodite but will not produce offspring unless they become a queen. They seem to have a akin hatred for heat, though they're able to survive in the most harsh of temperatures due to their cold tinged thanhic venom that soaks their bodies, because of this particular lovingness for the cold these slugs have a fondness for seeping into thanhium and other cold elements, opting to be in the mountains near the coast, though sometimes being seen on particular deep ocean floors. They are more particular towards munching on vegetation, however should they be given the chance they will also devour flesh, injecting their venom into their victim which in turn acts akin to thanhic dust poisoning, messing with their opponents ability to cast magic correctly. Should the slugs diet become too far thinned and starvation begins to occur the slugs will begin to opt for cannibalization, eating their own kind to sate their hunger, and if this is hunger is left unchecked the slugs will begin to devour solid matter, such as stone, dirt, wood, etc, however this acts as a double edged blade, as they sate their hunger their bodies swell to enormous masses, unable to process the material their eating, they're bodies rip open and they shortly die. They're constant need to feed produces a good amount of byproduct, the venom mixing with their digestion causing their byproduct to attain a formation akin to thanhium, almost nearly mimicking thanhium itself in color and brittleness, because of this it is not surprising to see clumps of the blue ore in odd formations about a slug den.
