rotating concepts for pooltoy slugcat character/sona around in my head
they definitely have more crittery type behaviors, stuff like the way a cat will sit near you and look at you but not want interaction, or stare at you from a distance extremely intently
they're kinda skittish, and easily startled so they will just run off if they feel threatened
they can and will hold conversations but also they are equally likely to respond with just. strange noises and chitters and such instead
they can be a bit of a nuisance just to get reactions out of people cuz they think it's funny (but they also act like they're completely innocent when people get upset)
they're an incredibly good swimmer but like. only on the surface of course. pooltoys aren't very good at diving. in that vein they also have handles - maybe on their lower back, like right at the base of their tail? still deciding that. belly and thigh nozzles tho for sure
also they're around a meter tall when standing on hind legs because i think scugs can and should be larger than you would expect
