History and Myth

Gastropoda are a class of animals second only to insects in its number of known species. They live in a diversity of habitats, including rivers, deserts, oceans and caves. some slugs excrete a thick coating of mucus around their bodies. The mucus secreted helps prevent the slug from slipping down vertical surfaces. The mucus also provides a method of protection, as it can make the slug hard to pick up and hold. In myth, the Sazae-oni was a turban snail demon who could change form.
