|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capable of living in or out of water. When out of water, it sweats to keep its body slimy. |
Under attack, it uses its belly spiral to put the foe to sleep. It then makes its escape. |
The swirl on its belly subtly un- dulates. Staring at it may gradual- ly cause drowsi- ness. |
The skin on most of its body is moist. However, the skin on its belly spiral feels smooth. |
Though it is skilled at walk- ing, it prefers to live underwater where there is less danger. |
