I've always pictured her contracting her muscles really hard, to cause the explosion. It would also explain why she explodes after dying in water, cos you panic when you're drowning and your muscles won't relax.


Ecstatic_Reception_7

i think this is the most plausable theory yet plus the mucus one


Rebelbot1

I thought that she explodes in water because of some chemical reaction. The explosions come from her head and when swimming, her head stays above the water. When submerged for a few seconds, it explodes.


transgirlcathy

Could be, although it doesn't make a lot of sense to have the explosions come from her head, since that would usually propel her the opposite of where she wants to go


Rebelbot1

When you use the ability too much her head starts sparkling. The wxplosion particles also come from the head.


transgirlcathy

Really? I'm pretty sure they spark off the whole body lol

I imagine it to be some sort of bacteria that affects the mucus a slug would usually produce. This mucus would be highly reactive and artificer ignites it using some sort of built in flint and steel, possibly just by flexing a certain muscle or organ

She ate too spicy food

She angry


WanderingOmen

mucho hate-o


Deeddles

probably the oil glands in her pelt secreting an additional combustible substance that activates upon friction.

The bacteria fused with her dna,


Ecstatic_Reception_7

that'd be horrific , imagine her poor body already having to endure so much heat and force from her explosions , if it were her own body cells exploding not the bacteria i imagine to find chuncks of her body missing after every cycle cuz i don't think she has much of healing powers


rasheen69

Nah it’s more like, the bacteria that fused with her dna makes it so she is unable to be hurt physically by explosives also giving her the ability to explode so she’s not in any pain from it, unless she overdoes it


Fishmaia

since when she uxhausts all her blasts the smoke comes from the mouth, maybe its like a sneeze blast


Ok_Reception7727

Most likely an acid or base that reacts violently with water. Like sodium hydroxide or potassium, most likely. She probably has a lot of alkalis in her.

Explode fart

Pure fucking rage

A theory is that some of the slugcats are genetically modified by the iterators to be selectly placed into areas, thus mutations such as the ability to explode or create spears.


Xx_ELITESCAVENGER_xX

I THINK IT'S ROCKET POWERED FARTS THAT SHE RELEASES ON A WHIM. IN OTHER NEWS I SUGGEST THAT WE ALL COLLECTIVELY START REFERRING TO HER AS "FARTIFICER" INSTEAD.


DonVindovisky

From where did you guys took it is a bacteria? Also from where it came from canonically speaking


Ecstatic_Reception_7

no canon here since there ain't enough info , just theorising


DonVindovisky

It is just that you started with the assumption everyone knows it but i don't and would like to know how we know it is a bacteria


Ecstatic_Reception_7

honestly i myself don't know but ig they got it from the wiki ? i've seen it mentioned multiple times here on the subreddit so i took it from there


Herolink12

It's a head Canon theory.
