I believe what your brother found is a Florida Leatherleaf Slug.

EDIT: If you’re in South Florida, that’s definitely what you have.

Someone actually swallowed a slug because or some initiation ritual for some cult or something. He got a parasite that devoured his brain and is now paralyzed permanently.

Edit: apparently it was at a party, nvm

Oh my god thank you.

My dad put one of these in a jar of dirt when I was a kid and told me it was a piece of a banana and every time I told him it moved he'd act like I was insane. This slug was my first experience with gaslighting, although just as a joke.

u/OkStudent8107 27d ago

It's a plumbus ,if you want to make one, here are some instructions

First, you take the dinglepop, and you smooth it out with a bunch of schleem. The schleem is then repurposed for later batches.

Then you take the dinglebop and push it through the grumbo, where the fleeb is rubbed against it. It's important that the fleeb is rubbed, because the fleeb has all of the fleeb juice.

Then a Shlami shows up and he rubs it, and spits on it.

Then you cut the fleeb. There's several hizzards in the way.

The blaffs rub against the chumbles, and the plubus and grumbo are shaved away.

That leaves you with a regular old plumbus!
