Salt Bomb

A salt bomb is a device invented at Gloodood Industries which sends a blast of salt in a large area for the purposes of temporarily stunning a sticky slug. When thrown accurately, it can shrivel a slug for a minute or two before it regains its composure. After research, it's been found that salt does not cause long term effects on slugs, and only provides temporary disabling. It is unknown whether the slug feels pain, although some researchers have noted that the slug is likely unconscious during its shriveled state.
