Like they are from the moon. and they are slugs. cool right? These are a subspecies of the Western Slug. They accompanied the astronauts to the moon for the Apollo 11 launch. They were critical to making sure humanity survived while in the lethal environment of space. After the launch, many of the slugs adapted to life in the vacuum of space. Then as years went on, they began to breed and evolve on the moon. SlugCo sent up a retrieval mission to see if they could retrieve the moon slugs, but we were surprised that they even survived on the moon at all!
