Paldea#129Hyperspace#089

The ground scrapes its body as it travels, causing it to leave salt behind. Salt is constantly being created and replenished inside Nacli’s body.

It was born in a layer of rock salt deep under the earth. This species was particularly treasured in the old days, as they would share precious salt.
