As their relationship progressed, Doomslug became more open, often enthusiastically repeating words and eventually complex phrases spoken by Spensa and Rig, as well as trilling in enjoyment when rubbed on the head.{{book ref|Skyward|12}}{{book ref|Skyward|36}}
 
When Spensa began her first flight with M-Bot, Doomslug took residence in the seat behind Spensa. {{book ref|Skyward|30}}

{{for|taynix}}
=== Cytonics ===
As a taynix, Doomslug has the ability to travel at faster-than-light speeds by accessing the [[nowhere]] and can distract the [[delver]]s from the cytonic hyperjump so that they won't be drawn into the universe.{{book ref|sky2|34}} It is unclear whether or not Doomslug has or could learn any other Cytonic powers.
=== Protection ===
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.
