Appearance & Traits
Lurgs have six legs that allow it to cling to rocks as it moves about.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content Their skin is brown and green and appears slick. This slickness is likely due to the mucus that it secretes. A lurg moves by jumping quickly from place to place, leaving spots of mucus behind it. A lurg's eyes are located on near the center of its back.
Niche & Habitat
A lurg feeds on insects that come out during a rainstorm.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content Lurgs will find a crevice in the rock spin themselves a cocoon out of silk, making it spherical with their hands. The container is water-tight, sealed by the lurg's mucus, but will dissolve during a rainstorm so the lurg can come out to hunt.
Due to this unique trait, children often go hunting for lurgs to pour water on them and dissolve the cocoon, tricking the lurg into running about.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content The children also sometimes keep them for pranks, such as putting a lurg into someone's bathwater.
