Curious Complexity, Weight of a Feather

WoaF: Hello. I've heard you're rather adept at creating purposed organisms?
CC: Yup! Do you need help? Advice? A step-by-step guide?
WoaF: No. I've been tasked with gathering Worm Grass by my head administrator and am simply looking for suggestions to make it take a minimal amount of time.
CC: Ah! Do you know the reason why they want the wormgrass?
WoaF: I do not. Why would you require such information if I did?
CC: It would just help me come up with ideas, that's all. Anyways, do you usually use a certain creature as a base or do you make your critters from scratch?
WoaF: I usually make them from scratch, but I do sometimes use other creatures.
CC: Great! Take a look at this! *Image*
WoaF: Is that a Pipe Slug?
CC: kind of, it's closely related
WoaF: is there any particular reason that would be an ideal base?
CC: They're fast, intelligent, and good pets.
CC: OkAY next! If you're gathering wormgrass then you'll want to look at Gooieducks! They apparently smell bad or something, because wormgrass won't try and eat creatures if they're holding one. I don't even think wormgrass can smell, but that's irrelevant.
CC: you'll want to make your creature secrete the chemical that makes the Gooieducks repel wormgrass, then give your little pet a knife and you're good to go!
WoaF: Shouldn't your explanations be a little more professional?
CC: Who needs professionalism when you have SCUGS?!
WoaF: ...
WoaF: Disregarding that, it sounds like a good idea. Could you send me a blueprint of the Pipe Slug so I can reference it while I'm designing my creature?
CC: Sure thing!!
CC: *attachment*
CC: oh yeah! I forgot to mention that you'll have to raise it yourself, and let me tell you, they are chaotic little things. Have fun! Curious, signing off. (Gotta talk to some others, but if you need anything I'll be right here!)
WoaF: I have to TAKE CARE OF IT?

Log: 1209.34
I have received suggestions that should be of use to me from Curious Complexity, another Iterator who purposes organisms for various tasks.
Curious is rather annoying, but she did sound like she knew what she was saying, so I am making the decision to trust her. I am only 18% sure I will regret this in the future.
My sources say that if I incorporate the features of the Pipe Slug that I am planning to into my creature, it will take around 35 cycles to fully mature. Curious says I will have to take care of it for that entire time.
I will try my best, but it is not certain wether I will be able to stand having a small creature bouncing around in my insides for that long.

WoaF: I am sure I pressed decline.
CC: I'm sure you did!
NSH: Welcome!
SO: We're glad to have you.
CC: How's the project coming along?
WoaF: I haven't made any progress, as it has barely been any time since I contacted you.
CC: Right. Anyways, introduce yourselves!
NSH: you can call me Sig! I use he/they pronouns. I was the founder of this group along with Curious!
SO: I'm Oceans. They/them pronouns. I was also forced into this, so I can sympathize with you.
WoaF: It's a pleasure to meet you both. Now, I have work to do, so I'll be going.
