is sad there is so little #sluglore… There is quite a bit of #蛞蝓 — some of it quite interesting & mysterious.
A person possessed by a slug spirit (namekuji) often develops molluscan characteristics–a rasping tongue, a slimy ventral surface, protruding eye-stalks, a fear of salt & an insatiable love of nori and sake. #FolkloreThursday #sluglore #蛞蝓 (apologies to @AnneLouiseAvery).
