Slimy nonakara



An inhabitant of lakes and swamps, the slimy nonakara or whirling snakes were a species that somehow had spread to numerous planets. Their primarily herbivorous diet was supplemented with occasional fish and insects. They excreted slime that slowed down their prey. They exchanged slime to mate: being hermaphroditic, both partners would have offspring. Aside from mating, they were solitary.
