The Nameless Slugcat

## Organism

### Biology:

The nameless slugcat, other times referred to as "the fluffy one", "The Cartographer", or "tour guide", is a small, average-sized adult male slugcat. His body is a light yellow, and is covered in a fur-like coat. There are some minor markings on his upper back; small orange specks, however they could most likely be burns or scars of some kind.

### ♦ Behavioral patterns:

The Cartographer is particularly friendly, albeit cautious as an average slugcat would be. However, he's stubbornly loyal, and will refuse to leave the side of one in need if they possibly have an issue that he could help with in any way. He has a remarkable memory, and is often the source of nearly picture-perfect maps scratched and scribbled into the walls of various shelters and buildings around the world. He is also surprisingly selfless. Not to mention, he somehow managed to learn the Iterator language without the need of a Mark of Communication.

```
We don't actually know, nor do we understand how this is possible. His brain, from our overseers' scans, is relatively normal-sized, apart from some minor size variation on his eastern and western nodes. *Ultraviolet, you're absolutely certain these results were conclusive?*

```

```
UPDATE: He managed to arrive at my can and reactivate me, along with my slugcat. I took the opportunity and executed a full-neural scan. Heaps of data were gathered, and a peculiar observation was made. In the middle of the process, energy was violently expelled from his form and forced himself off the needle as well as me back a bit. I will continue to update as more information is gathered.

```

```
UPDATE: I gathered more information from an instigated experiment. He was given a sample of VOID FLUID and another full-neural scan was executed. Spectacular results. Normal slugcats would have died upon ingestion of VOID FLUID, but the fluid somehow caused a channeled reaction of the same energy that expelled him off the needle in the previous test. The fluid's molecular composition and reactivity in his neural network were almost identical to reactions in the amygdala; the reaction was a mirror replica of the brain undergoing a reaction which causes anger. Further studies will be made over time.

```

### Diet:

The Cartographer remains fit all-together, and lacks a definitive and strict diet practice. He will eat anything he can if he is hungry enough, and eats just enough for his body mass.

### ♦ Appearance:

We were honestly surprised when he didn't run from the overseer after it accidentally popped up in front of him. *Yeah, nice predictions, Kelzer!*

```

## Ethos

### ♦ Supposed history:

The fluffy one's origin in this land is entirely unknown. Sources state that he ventured here from across the land. After a sample of his DNA was taken off of him, we believe that other slugcats related to him might have ventured in our area before, but they're long gone by now. His body heat is also surprisingly comfortable while he is sleeping.

```
Note, we didn't take DNA harmfully. We collected a sample of his saliva, which he was drooling in his sleep. look, we're not creepy, but you've gotta admit, slugcats are just plain adorable when they're sleeping. *What? Oh, shut up, this is my catalogue, which therefore means it's my finding.*

```

### Iterator ties:

Strangely, the nameless slugcat belongs to no-one at all. He's a completely wild slugcat, and therefore is completely independent, free of rule. It is unclear if an iterator taught him the iterator language or not. Though he is exceptionally close to specific iterators, namely Thirty Velvet Stars and Gilded Misfortune. He has a talent for comforting iterators and slugcats alike.

### Purpose:

Unfortunately, due to lack of any iterator logs regarding him, nor any pearls, we cannot determine his purpose. He is considered entirely free.

### Social status:

He is currently very close to a centipede slugcat, and they are possibly partners and/or in love. They are unable to produce offspring. He is often seen accompanied by them, as well as a small, black slugcat riding on a silver lizard, as well as The Photographer.

### ♦ Documented Phenomena:

```
There is something most certainly wrong with this slugcat. I conducted some tests, scanned his entire cerebrum, and he's... it's like he's some sort of embodiment of an anomaly. Data is still being processed as the tests yielded heaps upon heaps of information and results. I'm sifting through them, seeing which ones I can add to my databank.

```

```
Don't make this creature angry under any circumstance. I write this update two cycles after the second full-neural scan. The reason his memory is so incredibly abundant is because of something I dub "anger balance". from personal experience, the angrier one gets, the less memorial strength they have. All that memory is just saving space for the true threat- his anger. The anger triggers an excess of epinephrine and adrenaline to surge through his body, expanding his blood vessels and releasing energy which in turn causes his form to glow. After his blood vessels contract, his body produces abundant quantities of steam to vent the heat and exhaustion. That's the alarming part. If he manages to get unbelievably angry... the first thing that will happen is whatever he's angry at will be changed by him to be fixed to his standards, and the other more alarming result is he could potentially explode. I will continue to update this databank section.
