Mythos:
Slimes are a wide variety of creatures, common opponents of adventurers across the ages. The weakest of slimes are little more than vermin, but the strongest slimes can have a variety of powers, the ability to corrode or dissolve metal weapons and armor, bodies made of liquid metal, or bodies that simply splash and reassemble in response to any physical attack. Most slimes are mindless, or have simple animal intelligence, but some develop a human-like or at least child-like intellect. These higher slimes are often capable of limited shape-shifting abilities, they might attack by focusing a part of their body into a whip, club or spike, or grapple with their prey by squeezing into tentacles. Since slimes are often the prey of human adventurers rather than the predator, some use shape-shifting to hide or escape. The cleverest slimes shape-shift into human form, often into the shape of a woman or girl, in order to interact with humans non-violently. Slimes which are both clever and powerful can take the form of dragons or other mighty beasts, sometimes using skeletons that they've extracted from a living sample.
Alt Names: Ooze, Pudding, Gelatinate, Goopian, Goo Monster, Jelly, Flan, Mucosian, Viscousian, Gunkling, Grime, Glopper, Scuzz, Mucker, Blob, Fungoid, Mesophasic Lifeform, Superfluidic Organism

Insight:
I debated whether to make Slimes completely humanoid, like the popular slimegirl monster musume type, but in the end, I decided on this more monsterous design. For one thing, I think the common blobby or cutesy RPG slime is a bit of a waste. In D&D, Slime monsters are one of the stronger monsters, and sci-fi is full of crazy slime creatures with tentacles and eyestocks and so forth. Ultimately, I feel like the Acheron Series is for anthro-lovers, so the more monsterous Slime fits in better. The tail is reminiscent of a slime creature I made for my ancient flash games, Slime Fighter and Fortress of Fantasm.
