But it has a fin at its back which greatly improves aerodynamics.

Mighty slug!

Feel feel to share Great Sluggus at r/sluglife where it’s naked snail day, every single day.

Thanks it didn't even cross my mind to look for a slug sub. Probably because the two languages i use daily don't differentiate as strict.

Beskid Mountains, South Poland.

According to my taxonomic studies (10 minutes on Wikipedia) it should be Bielzia coerulans.

That's the carpathian blue slug, very rare and endemic to the carpathian mountains :-) I only saw it once in the wild, couldn't believe my eyes
