M OLLUSCATS Molluscats are slimy, four-legged beasts with a wide range of sizes and colors. The most well- known breed of molluscat is the Whiskered Ochre Molluscat, for its usefulness as a mount and as a draft animal. These tame beasts reflect intensely their emotions, sometimes even sliming their owners in their effusivity. The slime of molluscats, specially of large breeds such as the Whiskered Ochre, has a strong concentration of pheromones, which vary with the mood of the animal. The mere scent of the mucus of an angry molluscat may inspire an urgent fear on their foes, whereas a molluscat that feels pain in someone they love will excrete a mellow-odoured special slime that will soothe their partner. Molluscats of all sizes and colors love water, because it keeps their mucose-producing glan- dules active and in good shape. In rainy days, when there’s plenty of water to rehydrate, it’s not strange to see a molluscat showing off the good health of their slime apparatus.
