Slugcats are both the primary protagonists and only playable characters in Rain World. They are small creatures with black eyes, thin arms, comparatively broad legs with small feet, broad-ended ears, and a thick tail that tapers. No slugcat can speak, but they love being spoken to. This one is white, coated in a sort of slime, slightly sticky, but it never leaves the slugcat's body, unless scrubbed away. In order to survive, a slugcat must be extremely wary, of both wildlife and strangers.
