Locus possessed a magickal power which he could not control. He could change his skin colour simply by thought. So if the colour white ever crossed his mind, he would turn white. Locus worried excessively and he'd always turn the colour he didn't want to turn. He stopped eating one day and he stopped changing colours. Then he died and Mr. Snail, his pal, had a funeral for Locus. Then Mr. Snail buried himself alive and to this day, no one knows why.
