Slimy Slug

Slimy Slugs are Rock Raiders creatures introduced in 1999.
==Description==
Slimy Slugs are large gastropods that are green with some faint spots. Some can be a single stud in size, while others can grow to be over three times the size of a Rock Monster as seen in B5458 Readers Level 4 - Race for Survival. Concept renders show Slimy Slugs with LEGO studs, although they appear fully organic in published media.
==Background==
Slimy Slugs are large gastropods that are most commonly found on Planet U. They feed off of electrical power, especially that from Brickonium, by draining the energy directly from crystals or from powered buildings.
Slimy Slugs live in Slimy Slug Holes and emerge when the Rock Raiders' base is powered by Energy Crystals. They are short enough to crawl under Electric Fences, and due to their thick hides, laser, fire, and dynamite attacks are very ineffective, while they are completely unaffected by the Freezer Beam. The best method to get rid of them is place a Sonic Blaster, which emits a high-pitched sound wave which drives them away and forces them to retreat back into their holes.
In B5458 Readers Level 4 - Race for Survival, the Rock Raiders witness several Rock Monsters driving away a giant Slimy Slug that is eating their Energy Crystals.
In 5774 LEGO Island 2: The Brickster's Revenge, Slimy Slugs are used as bait when Pepper Roni is trying to catch Big Bertha during the Fishing minigame on Adventurers' Island. Slimy Slugs can also be found on OGEL Island and push Pepper back when he runs into them.
