Leatherleaf slugs
Scientific name: Veronicellidae
Description
Belonging to the family Veronicellidae, these creatures are often misjudged simply due to their sluggish nature and slimy exterior. They play a pivotal role in the ecosystem by decomposing organic material, thus recycling nutrients back into the soil. Intriguingly, they are hermaphrodites, possessing both male and female reproductive organs, which allows for a unique self-reliant reproduction strategy.
