Patter

Exotic pet, bred in the Termite kingdom. A sort of slug from far out of Bugaria. Mainly known for the exotic pigment mutations that the species is prone to in their native range, they are bred for a mix of show and prestige - their native range being hot and humid enough that keeping them as far south as Bugaria requires at least one room dedicated to keeping the appropriate conditions. Although efforts have been made to breed them with native Bugarian snails to increase their temperature tolerance, such attempts tend to either fail entirely or compromise the aesthetics that most people buy them for - as such, they remain mostly unchanged from their out-of-kingdom counterparts.

This particular specimen displays a lot of extremely exotic colors, partially aided by experimental Termite breeding technology, and partially aided by the fact that the termite who owns it is very, very rich and can afford to pay people to breed exotic pets that are not terribly suited to the current ecosystem for him.

Patter is owned by [the termite who carmina pisses off in 52 pickup, who is still unnamed]. Roughly the size of a large dog, proportionate to your average bug, and very laid-back, it is very much a lap animal, and is often roaming relatively free in its owner's home. Tends to cuddle up to bugs waiting to see [termite guy] for any of his various illegal jobs. Depending on who you ask, this may make the experience of waiting to get feedback on a thoroughly illegal job either more or less nerve-wracking,
