Zwdrome exudes a sedative gas into its immediate surroundings. This gas has mild psychotropic properties, its effect and chemical makeup similar to known cannabinoids. The strains outer coating is a thinner, more flexible version of the material making up the hard nobs along its back, which is an isomer of polyoxybenzylmethylenglycolanhydride (bakelite). Its internal contents are a bakelite slurry and a liquid version of its cannabinoid gas suspended in propylene glycol. The internal temperature of the zwdrome heats the liquid to the point of aerosolizing it, and regular contractions of its body (its "breathing") expel it through minute pores in the skin.
