Description

The lonely slug monster has razor sharp teeth, green skin, and a heart of pure gold. The only thing he has ever wanted is a friend to call his own.

But despite his best efforts, his scary appearance sends the other creatures running for the hills!

Just as he’s about to give up, he meets a Rainbow Butterfly who is just as "different" as he is. It’s a perfect match - until a very hungry chicken decides they look like a tasty snack. In a race for survival, can these two unlikely friends save each other?
