Slugcat

The mega-cute Slugcat is the main character of the game, and is the character you play. It is a small white creature with black eyes, round paws, pointed ears, and a thick triangular tail. The player must keep Slugcat alive as they explore the World, confront strange Creatures, and challenge extra Quests.

Abilities
As one of the weaker creatures in the food chain, Slugcat is still capable of certain survival abilities.
 * Walk/Run/Crawl - With its flexible and agile body, Slugcat can squeeze through small pipes that crisscross the entire map and travel across the foreground on either two paws or four.

Slugcat is also followed around by a strange golden being that will provide tips via holographic-like images.
 * Climb - poles and pipes can be climbed by Slugcat.
 * Sneak - with so many predators, Slugcat will need to remain unnoticed most of the time.
 * Jump
 * Swim
 * Pounce - Slugcat can crouch on ledges to leap that extra distance for bigger gaps
 * Carry and throw items (including weapons such as spears or rocks, food, and other items) - Slugcat can hold a total of 3 items, one in each paw and one in its mouth that can be regurgitated for later use

Food
In order to survive, Slugcat must continue to eat whatever is available in the harsh landscape.

Herbivore

 * Blue Fruit - brightly colored orbs that are described as "delicious" and grow from ceiling vines. After hibernation, these fruit may regrow from the same vines.
 * Popping Seeds - blue circles ringed in grey, the seeds grow from short sprouts on the ground and must be thrown into water before becoming edible. When watered, the seeds will 'pop' into a white fruit visibly similar to popcorn. Scavengers will also eat these and may challenge Slugcat for possession of them.

Carnivore

 * Flies - It has been confirmed there will be fly "nests" where large groups of flies gather. Be careful when eating flies, though, because once they're gone.... they're gone.
 * Bats - The most common source of food for Slugcat, the small bats will fly in groups of 3 or more between rooms. They are difficult to catch but are the most plentiful.

Slugcat Pups
It has been confirmed there will be Slugcat "pups" for you to take care of. They come in four colors: Slugcat Pups are said to be only mildly intelligent, so handling them is presumed to be very hard.
 * Yellow
 * Green
 * White
 * Black

It is also said that if you neglect or treat the Pups badly, they will abandon you... or worse. The Developers say the Green Pup is the most dangerous.

Multiplayer
It has been confirmed that there will be a co-op/multiplayer mode.

Player 2 will be a pink Slugcat.
