Yoku has omniverous teeth, something close to a civet in structure. Their mouth glows with a blue bioluminescent flesh.
Food first lands in the forestomach, which sits nestled up against the main stomach, and is a soft squishy sack that safely stores treats for a time. They can control whether things come back up from their forestomach or are pushed further along. He can store objects in here too as a sort of internal pocket. It is bioluminescent in here.
Past the forestomach, the stomach is like any other and digests things, and being as soft as slugcats are, it has the ability to expand a fair bit. The biolumiescnese on the inside allows a prey to see themselves as they digest.
Everything else proceeds as normal, through the small intestine, the large intestine, and then out.

Yoku is an omnivorous slugcat, which means they are both predator and prey alike, eating plant materials and other critters alike. They are not afraid to hunt and actualy enjoy capturing squirming prey, wrapping them up in tentacles and binding them for consumption.
While they certainly do not like being eaten or dying, they are perhaps less afraid of it than many might be due to the nature of rainworld reformation. You see, when a rainworld creature dies, they wake up at the start of that same day in another universe, with full knowledge of what happened and get to try again. No one else in that universe is aware of the splitting, so the predator, for example, wouldnt know they had eaten Yoku before if they did again.
This does mean, of course, that occasioanlly they might indulge during certain moods in being more willing prey, as for them, they will come back, though the predator will not see them again in that timeline.
