The Jiivas. They are an invasive species not only to whatever environment they enter, but possibly to the entire planet itself. The egg of one them altered the ecological processes of an entire continent. If an Alatreon, a species known to inhabit only the most inhospitable areas possible, thinks your nest deserves to be destroyed, you are as far from a good thing for the environment as you could possibly be.

I assume it’s just the way they’re built! Flying is definitely more efficient than walking for them though some species are better at walking than others.

The cellar slug or “beer slug” was spread throughout the world by humans, but last I heard, was recognized as threatened/rare in its original habitat, which is only a couple of caves in Germany.They’re so adapted to caves that they can’t even adapt to a nice dark forest or anything, they’re only happy if they have “hard” subterranean places to go to, made of stone or something close enough to it. As a result, they now thrive almost only in cities and suburbs where there are basements or sewers, or even in gardens where they retreat under the house foundation or into flower pots during the day.They are ALL OVER Portland which is how I discovered them, and I’ve now had a bunch living for three years in a terrarium with rusty pipes to hide in. There’s soil and wood and stuff in there, but they only like the pipes!

Uh, what the fuck? No they aren’t? 

Aw dammit, why must they spoil nice things.

WE NEED TO KNOW

About the name, Japanese sweets tend to lump a lot of things together as 紫芋 murasaki imo (literally, just ‘purple potato’), including ube and Okinawan sweet potato. I know that Okinawan sweet potato is common here, but don’t know much about other purple potatoes!
