Being able to move on all fours or move at a quicker paste on two legs. In addition, they are quite adept climbers because of their ability to rapidly shift their masses to reach advantageous handhold. Slugcats are mostly known to be in groups to help hunt and fend off predators in order to care for their Slugpups. Slugcats explore a world of ancient time that is long abandoned, taken over by creatures both fascinating and fearsome. Like Slugcats, the creatures in this world hibernate most of the time during the rain cycle, but must spend the dry periods between rain finding food to last another day. They have been given marks of communication by another race, and have since shared them amongst themselves to learn Slugfolk. Because of their small and weak nature, Slugcats that go out on their own for large periods usually don't last long. Often dealing with hungry predators twice their size, Including their complicated relationship with scavengers, with individual colonies varying in how they cooperate with them.
