When Spensa began her first flight with M-Bot, Doomslug took residence in the seat behind Spensa. {{book ref|Skyward|30}}

=== Cytonics ===

=== Mimicry ===
Doomslug can replicate any sound she hears with impeccable precision, though there is always a "distinctly fluty" sound to it.{{book ref|Skyward|15}}

Doomslug is covered in blue spikes, which would make handling her difficult, and provides protection from predators. Her bright colors also lead Spensa to believe the possibility that she might be poisonous.{{book ref|Skyward|12}} She is also capable of resisting minor increases in gravitational forces.
