Greetings unto you, Wizard. Or, you know, Paladin, or Rogue, or Warrior, or whatever you are.
I bestow upon you that rarest of companions, the
Support Slug!
It's a long, hard road, being a hero. Very few people bother to thank you, or even notice what you've done. But no matter how weary you get, no matter how lonely you are or whatever happens, the Support Slug will never give up on you. He will just sit patiently and, whenever you need it, whisper comforting words, such as, "You're a great hero!" or "Never give up! I believe in you!" or "Everything's going to be alright." He feeds on algae and is amphibious, so a little jar of pond or swamp water is the perfect way to keep your Support Slug happy and healthy and, above all, supportive.
(Please note: each Support Slug can only be seen/heard by their respective Hero. We accept no responsibility for accusations of insanity, being burned as witches, or getting really funny looks. Enjoy Support Slugs responsibly!)
And now, without further ado, your very own Support Slug!

Aw, look! He loves you already!
And, since not many people expect to be given random slugs and therefore aren't prepared to look after them, we're also giving you this
complimentary little jug of pond water and algae for your new little friend to live in when he's not supporting you!

Support Slugs are very hardy; so as long as you remember to change the water every time you pass a pond or swamp, he'll be fine.
It probably goes without saying that Support Slugs do
not thrive in salt water.
Enjoy!
