A large flat slug found in swamp and occasionally in grassland regions of Prometheus. The Lore states they are mostly harmless, some prospectors are not convinced.
Strategies[]
General[]
Viscids are mostly found in Swamp and some parts in Grassland. They are not very aggressive unless someone steps on their slime trails.
Weaponry[]
Melee is not advices as prospectors may step on their slime trails and become slowed, making escape not possible. Powerful ranged weapon like Javelins and Firearms are effective.
Weakness[]
They are large and easy to spot. The shape of their head and their slow movement allow easier Crits.
Lore[]
These gentle creatures are often found in swampy parts of Icarus, and are easily frightened by loud noises and disturbances in their vicinity. In most instances they will flee from humans.
The Viscid is generally harmless but can be highly territorial. They tend to leave slime trails around their territory; favouring large bodies of water. They have also been known to leave trails around man-made structures, this has resulted in a handful of contractors being evacuated to orbit with life-threatening injuries after accidentally stepping onto a trail.
Like a trail of snot, couldn't believe it when I woke up and looked out my window and this lil fella was circling my base. Needless to say I got out of there pretty quickly, really miss that base though...
Skinning[]
Skinning a Viscid carcass will produce resources, and requires an 
Iron Knife or better. A Viscid cannot be transported to a 
Skinning Bench. Skinning with a 
Taxidermy Knife will produce a 
Viscid Vestige that can be used to make a 
Viscid Trophy.
