Description

LOL well old watchers will remember what this is about. The sketch for this is just as old (2010?), which is why it's so small.  But its time had come, so I had another go are really simple lineless, and just scribbled brushes on the background. 

LOOK AT IT SO CUTE. But about this species:

The O'Liathain Jumping slug is native to the planet Rubrica, and is part of a diverse genus of slug-like creatures that fling themselves by contracting their bodies like a spring. This behavior is both an escape mechanism and a defense skill, to startle predators. Their bodies are coated in a thick mucus, and it is thought the stuff has a deterrent. It has no effect on humans. they have four primitive eyes on their backs. The O'Liathain jumping slug got its name from the first person one jumped upon.

Binomial: Insilicoclea oliathain rubrica
