Overview
A small, fast-moving slug variant that propels itself with rapid water-jet expulsions. The Flash Slug emits a brilliant bioluminescent burst when startled — a predator defence mechanism that can momentarily affect Pioneer vision in low-light cave passages. Entirely passive; no aggression documented under any condition.
Subnautica 2 Flash Slug — Behavior
