Slinker
"BURN THIS MOTHERFUCKER TO THE GROUND"
- – A common reaction to Slinkers aboard a Spelljammer
Slinkers are the common name for a species of bird-like vermin native to the Spelljammer setting. Standing at about 3/4s of a foot on their hindlegs, Slinkers are not that small but are still able to infiltrate spaces to find food. Serving as the "rats" for the trope of rats aboard a sailing ship, Slinkers are fast breeding (As in, their population will grow by 10% every in-game week), fast breathing (They'll suck up all the usable air onboard the ship as their numbers multiply, contributing Co2 to the mix as well), and fast eating creatures that will quickly turn an adventuring party spelljammer into their spelljammer if not nipped in the bud in a controlled manner.
