Power Slugs are collectible items that you can find throughout the world. They normally spawn on top of rock formations, but they do not have a set spawn location from what we know. They come in a variety of different colors, including green, purple, and yellow. 

Power Slugs are a crafting material for another item called Power Shards. The color of the Power Slug determines how many Power Shards can be created.

  • Purple Slug – 5 Power Shards
