Evolution
Line E-08: A Snail of Three Worlds
Fungislug is the base symbiotic form.
- Fungislug → Ferroslug — the hydrothermal branch. The fungal partnership gives way to chemosynthetic bacteria, and the shell mineralizes with iron and sulfur.
- Fungislug → Conduslug — the urban branch. Constant contact with metal salts makes the slime conductive, and the shell pattern takes on a distinctive mesh-like structure.
