They are slow and squishy. They have soft bodies and no shells. They have basically no way to defend themselves, from what I know.

I’d assume that there are some poisonous species, but other than that: how have these things not died out yet??

    They do get eaten. It’s just that there are more slugs total than slugs that get eaten. This is also true for any other animal that isn’t an apex predator.
