'''Slugs''' in the [[Neath]], known scientifically as '''''Mollusca gargantua''''',<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Por_Una_Cabeza|Por Una Cabeza|Fallen London|}} ''"An extensive [...] volume, [...] detailing mollusca gargantua [...]"''</ref> are noted for their large sizes. These mollusks live in the chytrid woods, and according to rumor, the fungi that grow there apparently seep into their brains and compel them to dance during moonless nights. The slime that covers giant slugs is also apparently quite valuable for reasons unknown, though the slugs themselves may have unpleasant temperaments.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Scrape_some_vile_slime_off_a_fungus-ridden_slug|Scrape some vile slime off a fungus-ridden slug|Fallen London|}}</ref> Giant slugs also burrow through the depths below [[Fallen London]], leaving behind large tunnels in their wake. These tunnels are large enough for a person to fit through, though they may be quite sticky.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Flute_Street|Flute Street|Fallen London|}} ''"Squeeze down sticky slug-tunnels."''</ref> | '''Slugs''' in the [[Neath]], known scientifically as '''''Mollusca gargantua''''',<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Por_Una_Cabeza|Por Una Cabeza|Fallen London|}} ''"An extensive [...] volume, [...] detailing mollusca gargantua [...]"''</ref> are noted for their large sizes.
