Description
The third of but a series of aliens requested by by yours truly!

Onto the facts!

Name: Slugger

Species: Kotoigbon

Homeworld: Ariohlymax (destroyed), Earth

Powers/abilities: Slugger is constantly excreting layers upon layers of disgusting, slippery slime from pores along his body, thus making him difficult to hold onto for those that have the stomach to attempt such a feat. He can also secrete sticky slimes and gels that allow him to ooze up walls and across vertical surfaces with ease.

Kotoigbons are boneless and can squeeze into tight spaces and crevices so long as they are as big as their grinding teeth.

Kotoigbons are capable of launching globs and jets of sticky slime from their mouths, which they use to capture, reel in, and hang up prey like frozen meat to be eaten at their leisure.

Slugger has an impressive awareness of his surroundings, despite how poor his eyesight is. This is due to his ability to detect vibrations, changes in air pressure, and temperature with the feeler-like growths on his head.

Weaknesses: Due to his small stature - only a few inches smaller than Echo Echo - and his squishy body, Slugger isn't very combative.

Kotoigbons are essentially blind and are incapable of distinguishing color or shapes very well and rely on their other sense to aid them in defending themselves. If these should be hindered in anyway, they will be rendered completely blind.

Kotoigbons must stay moist and thus can't last more than a couple of minutes in arid environments.

Salt is an absolute death sentence to Slugger and is to be avoided at all costs.

Kotoigbons are a barely sentient species and are incapable of communication by any means besides a horrendous screech that is absolutely deafening at close range.

Etymology: The term "slugger" is defined as "a person who strikes hard, especially a boxer noted for the ability to deliver hard punches", which somewhat ironic since Slugger has no limbs to speak of and is incredibly heavy. It has been noted by Kevin that Slugger's balls of slime "pack a wallop when they hit the mark".

Trivia: The species' name literally translates to "sewer snail" in Yoruba.

The species' destroyed homeworld is named after the genus to which Banana slugs belong to.

Slugger's powers and abilities are similar to that of Slug King from Hero: 108.

Ariohlymax, the previous homeworld of the Kotoigbons, was destroyed by the Highbreed during their xenocidal rampage across the universe before the war was brought to an end. The surviving members of the species were consequently relocated to Earth by the Plumbers and Galvans due to Earth's extensive network of sewage pipelines being similar to that of Ariohlymax. There currently is a colony of Kotoigbon located under most major cities on Earth - such as New York, Tokyo, and Beijing - as well as Bellwood and Undertown where they readily feast upon the endless supply of waste product and vermin that inhabit the sewers.

Kevin has described them multiple times as a "necessary factor of grossness".
