A slug is an insect and non-perishable food item.

Usage

Fishing

Main article: Fishing

Slugs can technically be used as bait for fishing. However, current fish only respond to Little Bait Fish, Worm, Cricket, Grasshopper, Cockroach and Maggots as bait, so doing so is not advised.

Consumable properties

Slugs can be consumed, reducing hunger at the cost of a lot of unhappiness, and with a chance of sickening the player when uncooked. They can be cooked to reduce more hunger and make safe for consumption, however the unhappiness effect will remain.

Uncooked	Cooked	Burned
Hunger: -5 Unhappiness: +20 Dangerous uncooked, may cause sickness.	Hunger: -7 Unhappiness: +20	Hunger: -2 Boredom: +20 Unhappiness: +40 Dangerous, will cause sickness.

Distribution

Foraging

Main article: Foraging

When foraging, slugs can be found on certain natural_exterior tiles, such as grass, sand, or gravel, and are more likely to be found during the rain and at night. They are most common in Forest, Deep Forest, and Vegetation, but can also be found in Farms and Farmland terrains.

Slugs can be found in all seasons but Winter, March through November. However, while forageable in Spring they are less likely to be found in March and April than other months.

Slugs are part of the "Animals" loot category, and require a tier 3 foraging skill to be found. Having the fisherman occupation or angler trait will increase the player's ability to find slugs.
