Flo-Pets

Flo-Pets are a bioluminescent freshwater slug indigenous to Xis (Kellog II). Despite being protected by the [Fair Chance Act](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RXlXmnaYGP-fair-chance-act), [Human](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0Nwpnr6wa2-humans) smugglers began eluding United Empire of Earth military forces to travel to the surface to capture Flo-Pets around 2918, intending to develop them as an easily-bred compact protein source. When they proved inedible for Humans, they were instead marketed as novelty pets, which led to a brief fad that further fueled smuggling operations. Flo-pets adapt to new environments easily and discarded pets have gone on to establish populations on many Human-inhabited worlds.
