During a hyperjump, the hyperslug produces a cytonic scream, which distracts the delvers from the passing ship. To do so, a cage containing the taynix is inserted into a Superiority hyperdrive. They are used by the Superiority as hyperdrives since they do not risk drawing the delvers into the universe.
Hyperslugs, which are yellow with blue spines, have the innate cytonic ability to travel through the dimension of the delvers. Taynix have various different cytonic abilities, with the specific one depending on their species and indicated by their color. Īccording to Doomslug, reality ashes are in truth their poop from feasting on the radiation of the nowhere. Consequently, they are often found near such organisms. Little is known about their natural living conditions, except that their diet consists mostly of fungi. They have been found on Detritus and the kitsen homeworld. Ecology Īccording to the Superiority, the taynix are originally from the planet Cambri, though they have since migrated to other planets. Taynix are able to handle heavy gravitational forces, responding by going rigid and hunkering down, though they do not seem to enjoy the experience. Taynix can move by crawling, though hyperslugs can teleport to get around. This sound, while only perceptible to cytonics, can be used to find out their location over long distances. Taynix can also give off a cytonically detectable sound that is similar to soft music.
They are of above animal intelligence, and Doomslug occasionally corrects Spensa's grammar. They are capable of recreating a wide variety of sounds, as they often parrot words said to them, as well as other sounds like grunts, groans, and whistles. Taynix are able to make fluting and trilling noises with their spines using different tones, and sometimes do so to express emotion. While they do not have eyes or any components of a face, they can still perceive their environment, probably through sound and scent, or possibly cytonically. They are not slimy to the touch, feeling tough like leather, but with a soft, springy consistency. Another slug with the ability to inhibit cytonics is blue with lime green markings. The commslugs are purple with orange spines.
The boomslugs are similar, but have red skin, black spines, and black stripes. The hyperslugs have bright yellow skin and small, blue, somewhat stiff spines along their backs, though there may be coloration differences between individuals. Taynix are somewhat blobby, and about the size of a loaf of bread, but flatter.
