Pyroclasmic Slooch

The Pyroclasmic Slooch is a slug-like creature that can be found on PNF-404, being first discovered by Captain Charlie.

Description
This slug-like animal's body is completely covered in a flammable, combustible mucus that catches fire as its trailed behind it. Its body is striped in bright yellow-orange, making it appear like its body is lava (how it got its namesake). It has a small mouth at the front of the body with a notably large tongue to capture prey, and a set of small antenna on top of its cone-shaped frontal body.

Pyroclasmic Slooches have this combustible coating as a efficient protection against larger predators. Despite this, it keeps itself constantly lubricated as the skin of the creature is, surprisingly, prone to burning.

Behavior
It is a carnivorous creature, but due to the lack of predatory evolution it's more akin to scavenging. Observations from Olimar himself reveal an almost instinctual behavior that keeps it from causing widespread wildfires within its territory.
