Description
Here they are!The more primitive capslug and hoodslug, and the more advanced Quasitestudo and Pseudocaretta!
I picture them to be anywhere from a few centimeters to around two feet for some Quasitestudo and Pseudocaretta species.
The 'slugs are meant to be benthic creatures, Pseudocaretta is meant to be pelagic creature, I still don't know what it should eat, but probably small pelagic invertebrates...
Quasitestudo are meant to be originally benthic herbivores, but there will be terrestrial species too. These, as the name suggests, will fill the niche of earth's turtles and tortoises.

Okay, the quasitestudo is the coolest thing I've ever seen. It's like a caterpillar/slug on steroids.

Yes! With a little bit of onychophoran thrown in!

Oddball idea to toss out there, but how about one of those pelagic ones going opportunistic carnivore by hanging on to larger beasts? They could eat small things until they encountered a large beast, then attach and play barnacle while enjoying an all-you-can-eat buffet. If they get knocked off, it would not be a problem since they could go back to eating the small stuff.

Kinda what I was thinking, combining barnacles and remoras.
