Serpy's Imports; Look at all this junk!

Slugs inbound!
Slugs are wonderful little creatures who come in all different shapes, colours and sizes beyond those common garden slugs that are apparent around the world. Innocuous in nature and rather adorable in looks, it's rather sad to see these gastropods get the bad rep that they definitely don't deserve.

Triboniophorus aff. graeffei
Australian pink slug
These bizarre slugs live exclusively on Mount Kuputar in what's know as a sky island, an isolated ecozone known for their unique flora and fauna. They live under plant matter and the roots of trees, and emerge on cool misty mornings to eat algae and moss.

Ariolimax californicus
Banana slug
The starkingly bright yellow colour is how these slugs earned their name. Banana slugs live in redwood and temperate coniferous rainforests in North America primarily. The mucus they secrete has a mouth numbing anesthetic agent to deter predators.

Bielzia coerulans
Carpathian blue slug
Blue and beautiful, the Carpathian blue slug is endemic to the Carpathian mountains located in Eastern Europe. Juveniles take on a more subtle hue of colours, from green, yellow and brown. Adult Carpathian blue slugs usually die after egg disposition.

Arion ater
Common/Brown/Black slug
This particular slug probably needs no introduction, found throughout most of the world either as a native or invasive species. Their ravenous ability to detroy crops has earned them a spot on many-a-countries quarantine significance list. The go-to look when one imagines a slug.

Posted Image
Arion rufus
European red slug
Once treated as a subspecies of Arion ater in the past, the European red slug is nearly indentical to the aforementioned slug bar molecular analysis and internal dissection. Often appearing in a range of colours, from red, orange and a rusty brown, this particular slug is common in urban gardens.

Selenochlamys ysbryda
Ghost slug
Named for their nocturnal habits and sickly appearence, the Ghost slug is a blind, burrowing carnivorous slug that preys on other slugs, smaller insects and earthworms. The species was first found in Wales, and subsequently - and natively - found in the Crimean mountains. It was given the name 'ysbryd', meaning ghost in Welsh, to allude to it's rarity, colour and nightly practices. This is the first record of a species name being taken from the Welsh language.

Limax maximus
Leopard slug
Belonging to the family of some of the largest slugs in the world, the Leopard slug is considered another invasive species, as it has accidently been introduced to other parts of the world. Their colouration is often a variable grey, with their markings being quite random per individual specimen.

Posted Image
Ibycus rachelae
Long-tailed slug
Also known as the Ninja slug due to their ability to fire 'love darts' from their tail, the Long-tailed slug is a semi-slug that inhabits Borneo in the state of Sabah, where it lives in mountain ranges and along coasts. Due to their rarity and the hapless deforestation of their home state, measures have been put out to protect the montane forests where they live, as many rare species are hoped to be preserved, and some are still yet to be discovered.

Hacks:

Other Additions:
Nope.


NOTES
These slugs are rather slow and tend to idle a lot. They don't do anything other than move and eat, so you don't have to worry about them dying of thirst or going beserk because they didn't get enough exercise.

Speaking of eating, they seem to congregate around food piles a lot, even when their hunger is at a very slow decay rate. I would recommend using treats like apples and carrots (and I recommend Ulquiorra's dead rat enrichment for the Ghost slug) instead of a pile of food as that encourages them to move around more and not camp inside food where you'll barely see them.

Just like real slugs and snails when it comes to someone prized vegetables XD

Also, about the breeding, just as well they can't breed, ZT2 doesn't have a hermaphrodite option when selecting an animals gender.

Nice slugs (models, skins), but not for me, their behavior is unrealistic because of the game itself. Is it possible to create new "genders" or they are hardcoded in the ZT2 engine?

Unfortunately I think it's hard coded, or if it is doable, I wouldn't be able to make it happen. You can have animals that only have one gender, but I think making a hermaphrodite option would need all sorts of coding to be doable.

when it comes to people making gastropods for zt2, it got really sluggish until this happened, heh. Part of my DL collection now.

These kind of jokes make the 'banning' button itch when I'm on the ACP.

Seriously though, great job on the slugs, Serps! They're so beautiful and colourful :3

IIRC Endless Oceans has some sea slugs, although Idr if we can import models from the game.

Thanks for the snails BTW!

No good hero is a one-trick phony.

Slugs are disgusting. These are pretty cool though, so you get a free pass for bringing a creature that horrifies me to ZT2.

Thanks for your reply. Slugs like fruit and veggies. Any new kinds of food for herbivores planned?

If we are talking about slugs why not snail. I love the ones with the colorful shells. We just have the plain brown snails where I live at.

I did try and import some small veggie slices but it messed up royally, think I need to study food and what not a bit more before I just rush into it. I am rather adamant about getting some small food portion in-game, though! Thinking along the lines of sweet potato, carrots, maybe some apple slices, mango, stuff like that.
