NAME: SLOTH
CLASS: C
CLIMATE: SUBTROPICAL, TROPICAL
BIOME: JUNGLE, FOREST
SIZE: 3-5 m (LENGTH)
TEMPERAMENT: LAZY

Found perpetually basking on the forest floor. The thick, matted fur of the sloth houses a range of symbiotic algae that provide photosynthetic energy and sugars for the sloth. This diet of dappled light is supplemented with anything that falls within range of the sloth's many arms: fruit, fallen vegetable matter, insects, birds, people, etc.

Though physically incapable of fighting, sloths are fiercely guarded by large moths that rely on the sloth's unique jardin of algae for sustenance, thus, approaching a sloth is not recommended for any reason.

Curiously, sloths reproduce via spores. Rainfall carries these spores away where they mingle with those of other sloths, forming new slothlings where puddles tend to form. All gas breathers should take heed not to breathe in the spores lest a slothling form in their (book)lungs (or analogous organ)!
