Questioner

How smart is Doomslug?

Brandon Sanderson

Doomslug is, I would say, of not animal level intelligence. Of above animal intelligence.

Questioner

What does Doomslug eat?

Brandon Sanderson

Doomslug eats mushrooms, among other things... I don't want to say anything more.

Questioner

I know, I was trying to find something that wouldn't be RAFO'd

Brandon Sanderson

Yeah that's actually shockingly relevant of a question, so-- Hmm!

Sciencetor2

I am subscribed to the, "Doomslug is the hyperdrive," theory. Can you confirm or deny?

Brandon Sanderson

I cannot confirm or deny.

Questioner

I did have a question about Doomslug and M-Bot, where they came from?

Brandon Sanderson

Those are questions that will be answered, I promise.

Questioner

Are they connected?

Brandon Sanderson

That's what we call a RAFO, Read And Find Out. You will find out; I'm not gonna tell you know. You'll find out some of those answers in the next book.

Questioner (paraphrased)

Is Doomslug capable of using Hypertravel as well as taking matter with her?

Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased)

RAFO. Doomslug will be very important to the next book. She's very relevant to the events of the book coming out in December.

OrangeJedi

Are there other colors of "Doomslugs"?

Brandon Sanderson

There is slight variation

Questioner

Will we see more animals like that strange slug?

Brandon Sanderson

You will indeed see more of both Doomslug and creatures like her.

JoyBlu's Daughter

Did Doomslug come with the ship or the cave?

Brandon Sanderson

You will have an answer to that in book 2. So that's a RAFO, with a promise.

Questioner

What about... Doomslug? What's up with Doomslug?

Brandon Sanderson

Doomslug will be answered pretty soon... Doomslug is relevant.

Questioner

What does M-Bot have against Doomslug and Rig?

Brandon Sanderson

M-Bot treats Rig kind of like you might treat a doctor. Even though he's good for you, you may not enjoy having someone poke around at you.

With Doomslug, it isn't that he has a lot against Doomslug. Doomslug just isn't a good conversationalist. She does a lot of repeating back at you what you say. So getting trapped only with Doomslug would be--

Questioner

Can the second book have Doomslug with a bow?

Brandon Sanderson

In a bow? I will try to get Doomslug a bow.

Questioner

Is Doomslug the cytonic hyperdrive?

Brandon Sanderson

That is a RAFO.
