The Habanero Slug
The habenero slug produces a hot 'n spicy slime coating sufficient to
deter most predators. Unfortunately, in recent years, the habenero slug
has become highly prized as a spice, and are kept in small terrariums
and 'milked' regularly. Since the slugs require highly specific mating
conditions, (proper phase of the moon, great heat, and a suitable chili
bog) they are nearly impossible to breed in captivity and are growing
increasingly rare in the wild. (by Ursula Vernon)
