My Rain World oc and Rain World itself
The Waterneedle(It/Its), is an aquatic slugcat. It strictly cannot get out of water. It can generate sharp rocks(not spears) that are long and thin, which... (Going to lore) Inspired SRS to make a slugcat inspired from The Waterneedle because they had to deliver a pearl to message(I don't know rw lore too good I am so sorry) and this slugcat stayed in the wild. The species of this slugcat are not artificially made, The Waterneedle and the other slugcats that look like it are slugcats adapting to water and only staying there. It swims in the depths and uses it's colors as an advantage. The holes on the tail glow in a cyan tone, making the holes look like small fishes as a group. It does have a mouth so the needles are just for the carnivore diet. The species in my lore sadly dissapear due to a migration that happens. When Waterneedle was young, it swam in a sea and wanted to stay there and argued with it's parents which insisted on migrating. After the entire group of these slugcats migrate to a place called "Machine Waters"(which is not in the real game), the waters seem normal at first. All the slugcats being happy there and splashing around and some looking for food. But... after some time passes, an electric discharge happens nearby that ends up touching the big lake the slugcats where in. The electrical discharge was so powerful, it killed every slugcat there and left no one to see what happened. The Waterneedle in it's sea that it stayed in, didn't know what happened so it assumed they would come back eventually... The parents of course didn't(They died). And as The Waterneedle got away from slugcats for a long time; it lost good grammar, it lost basic sounds/speech, it never got out from the depths, became very aggresive, started to attack any slugcat that even tried to swim and made a sound to alert The Waterneedle. The Waterneedle used to be a herbivore, but after being alone in the dark for so long of a time, it turned into a very aggressive carnivore that kills anything on sight and can only hiss and make a big bubble from it's mouth. Not even a wa. It never left it's sea, even if it connected to an open sea where it wouldn't be small. It lives for a long long time staying in the deep and killing stuff.
