Slugcat Pups

This article is about an unimplemented feature which is not in the game as of V1.7
Slugcat pups were a planned feature of the game which are currently unimplemented, but which were discussed extensively during development. As the name implies, they are infant kin of the Slugcat. Appearance and Behavior

Slugcat pups are small creatures with similar features to a fully grown slugcat. They cannot defend themselves well, and they appear to be incapable of jumping anywhere near as well as a fully grown slugcat. As such, they are reliant on the player to help them along and bring them food. Slugcat can carry one pup on their back and hold another pup's hand, and the pups can hold a few extra rocks and spears. Green, yellow, and black pups have been seen in developer pics and videos.
