== Behavior ==
=== Boomslugs ===
Boomslugs{{wob ref|15071}}, which are red and black, have an ability that greatly resembles a [[mindblade]]. When thinking of a delver or else threatened, they send out a powerful force in all directions that is capable of injuring humans. Their attack inflicts a score of shallow cuts on whatever is threatening them. They are generally left alone, due to the danger of mishandling one and setting it off.{{book ref|sf1|4}} They can also be used as a sort of "ammo" in powerful hyperweapons like the one on [[Wandering Leaf]].
