A highly detailed 3D model of the Black Slug (Arion ater), built with a focus on natural anatomy and lifelike surface behavior. The model is equipped with a standard Blender rig for controlled posing and subtle motion work. The asset retains the detailed elongated body, granular mantle, correctly placed respiratory opening, and naturally shaped tentacles. Surface shading includes gentle gloss variation to suggest moisture, giving the slug a convincing organic presence even at close range.
