'''Doomslug the Destroyer''', or more commonly just '''Doomslug''', is a [[taynix]] that [[Spensa Nightshade]] found on [[Detritus]] in the cave with [[M-Bot]].{{book ref|Starsight|27}}{{book ref|Skyward|15}} Spensa nicknamed her Doomslug the Destroyer and adopted her as a mascot.{{book ref|Skyward|18}} She frequently accompanies [[Spensa]] on flights and is known to replicate nearly any sound she hears.{{book ref|Skyward|15}}

As a taynix, Doomslug has the ability to farttravel at faster-than-light speeds by accessing the [[nowhere]] and can distract the [[delver]]s from the [[Cytonics|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. She also has the ability to shapeshift and disguise herself as other objects, as seen when she transforms into Spensa's father's flight pin.

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}} The Superiority database says that the taynix are dangerously venomous.{{book ref|Starsight|28}} She is also capable of resisting minor increases in gravitational forces.
