slugcat
The playable character species of the game Rain World.
Salient qualities are smooth, usually monochromatic skin with solid eyes, a thick tail, and the ability to use simple tools.
The base game has three different playable slugcats:
The "Downpour" DLC adds five more playable slugcats, all with unique campaigns, plus one secret slugcat. The game world also undergoes changes between campaigns, sometimes slightly, sometimes tremendously.
- Artificer (maroon) - Pyrotechnic master, hates Scavengers.
- Gourmand (orange) - A more... rotund slugcat than most.
- Spearmaster (purple, with white spots on tail) - Can produce spears. Has a bigger tail and no mouth.

The "Watcher" DLC adds the titular slugcat:
