Humslug

Humslug is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Weltschmerzian Pupa from the planet Gýriseaftótosynofryoméno Dexímérosprostapáno.
==Appearance==
Humslug is a large, rotund slug comparable to an enormous larva or maggot, his entire body colored a dark blue with the exception of the tiny black and pale green wings protruding from his backside. Humslug has six stumpy legs on each side of his body, hair formed into drooping bangs that hang over the left side of his face, a pair of snail-like eyestalks, and two tentacle-like feelers where his mouth would be.
Humslug wears the Simplicitrix on his forehead.
==Powers==
*Humslug can induce and manipulate the pessimism of others, including associated feelings such as doubt, sadness, and despair, making him the perfect parallel against Clatuses, who can instead cause optimism.
**Humslug can enhance negative feelings and emotions through his pessimistic abilities, making those capable of increasing their capabilities through anger and other associated emotions through entering into a berserker state of rage even stronger and angrier than before by completely suppressing any potential positive emotions that they may still experience.
*Humslug has "pessimistic vision" that enables him to only see the ugliness in the world around him, completely ignoring and disregarding any positivity by blocking it out of his very perception and imbuing the user with pessimistic feelings that allows them to see straight through any induced hallucinations or illusions trying to convince him of happier times. In addition, Humslug has elastic eyestalks that allows him to see in different directions and expand his field of vision outwards.
*Humslug can excrete a poisonous mucus that causes anyone that comes in contact with it to have their empathy siphoned and drained with, making them unable to comprehend the emotions of others until they lose all desire to function and become so apathetic they cannot move.
*Humslug has enhanced flexibility.
==Weaknesses==
*Humslug's powers have no effect on those without emotion.
* Just like the downside of Clatuses with their optimistic vision, Humslug's pessimistic vision completely hinders his ability to see anything positive in any sort of situation, causing him to immediately bring the mood down of others whenever he enters their presence.
*Humslug's empathy-draining mucus can be removed from whoever contracts its effects by species capable of curing others, such as Dendrobantibodies.
*Despite having wings, Humslug's fattened body means he has nowhere near enough strength to lift himself up off the ground for even a single full second.
==Etymology== 
*Humslug's name is a play on "humbug" and "slug."
*Humslug's species name is a play on the word "Weltschmerz," meaning a feeling of melancholy.
*Humslug's planet name is the Greek translation of "turn that frown right side up," a play on the phrase "turn that frown upside down," meaning to cheer up after feeling sad, with its partially reversed meaning instead reversing its definition, in turn referencing Humslug's abilities to induce sadness.
==Trivia==
*Humslug comes from the same system as Silver Lining.
*Humslug's design was based on Grandpa Max's brief mutation into a Fugetor-like slug from the 2005 original series episode, Dr. Animo and the Mutant Ray.
*Humslug was originally conceptualized as a future alien for Clock 10: Choose Your Own Adventure, although was unused and thereby was canonized instead for The Alan 10 Adventures.
