The Spearslug reproduces itself by consuming and splitting itself apart.

Growth Rate & Stages

The spearslug has a ten year life expectancy before it dies. Their size and growth depends on how big they were when splitting and how much they consume. During their life-span they also grow several spears and shells.

Ecology and Habitats

The Spearslug's natural habitat are caves within the mountain, where they can easily slide on their slimey bodies. They also carry perfect nightsight and can easily trap creatures within caves, something that has become vital for their survival, as they are very slow.

The Spearslug consumed everything they can come past, but mostly meat. They hunt by waiting on ledges, hidden within their shells before they slide down, aiming their spears at people to impale them. Once impaled, they consume the victims.

Biological Cycle
