The Cucumber Slug was a species of slug native to Atlantis. While approximately the size and shape of a cucumber, its vivid, iridescent shade of green seemed almost unnatural. As was typical of the breed, it had eyestalks and left a trail of slime as wide as a man's thumb. John James Audubon spotted one on a redwood sapling during his 1843 excursion to Atlantis. While neither a bird nor a viviparous quadruped, Audubon elected to stop and sketch it since the creature was a curiosity little known to science.
