It eats toxic plants, which in turn make it more poisonous. If it holds off evolution for a long time, it can become extremely toxic to predators. It is said that the wider the band in the middle of its body is, the more poison it is carrying. It will curl tightly into a ball and bristle its hairs to defend itself, but if that doesn't work it will stab its foe with the large stinger on its tail. Underneath all of the fur, Larbee resembles a small white worm.
