“What an incredible achievement! Today is day 51 of Creature Feature, which leaves only ten days remaining! On such a day, I present to you the Slimes of Estea.”
“Slime; [Slahym]”
“Smiles are quite the interesting creature, relatively common and very well known in Estea. However the species isn’t without its confusing attributes, Slimes as a species vary vastly from individual to individual. Not only can intelligence vary between genius to rampaging beast, but the appearance of individuals can vary from shockingly Human, to semi-Humanoid, to non Humanoid, to even simple shapes. Nonetheless a majority of the species have behaviors similar to wild Lures. Despite these extreme variations in behavior and physical appearance, Slimes still share a variety of similarities with each other, which they can successfully be classified into variants with. With all that said and done, Slimes are a species whose bodies are composed almost entirely of a gelatinous substance. Slimes are coated in a thick, gooey membrane that holds their internal fluids together. The membrane allows them to choose what objects they will grab, bounce off, or allow entry. Slimes consume by absorbing nutrients from objects they allow inside their bodies. Being fluid like in nature, Slimes are remarkably dexterous and resilient. Slimes naturally resist physical attacks, with their core being their main weak point. Depending on the variant, Slimes can be composed of a variety of different fluids and adopt several unique properties.”

“Neutral; [Noo-truhl]”
“Considerably the most common variant of Slime, Neutral Slimes are found nearly anywhere and everywhere in Estea. Neutral Slimes have an average lifespan of 90 years and reach adulthood at age 18. Neutral Slimes have quite the interesting size demographic, initially they can grow to be 1 foot or 0.30 meters to 10 feet or 3.05 meters in height. However, Neutral Slimes have the ability to absorb water and add to its mass, nearly doubling in height. Neutral Slimes are composed of mostly slime and water, despite this, these Slimes can be any color. Although Neutral Slimes can increase their mass through the absorption of water, this absorption dilutes their slime, where too much water can weaken or even kill them. Physically the majority of Neutral Slimes take on a Humanoid appearance. Easily the most dexterous of the Slimes, Neutral Slimes have near complete control over their bodies and can mold and shift their bodies to hide or maneuver in any situation. Additionally, Neutral Slimes have an affinity for Aquanna Magic. Moreover, these slimes have interesting absorption behaviors, in which certain materials they absorb will alter their physical and behavioral state temporarily. Neutral Slimes are remarkably social, living in large nomadic groups. Additionally, Neutral Slimes seem to be the smartest and kindest of the Slime species, having the easiest time integrating to other civilizations. Interestingly, Neutral Slimes have a fondness towards Humans, often mimicking their appearance and behavior to be nearby them.”

“Volatile; [Vol-uh-tahyl]”
“The second most common and well known variant of Slime, Volatile Slimes. Although these Slimes can be found in the same locations as Neutral Slimes, Volatile Smiles prefer dark and damp environments. These Slimes have an average lifespan of 80 years and reach adulthood at age 15. Volatile Slimes can grow to be 3 feet or 0.91 meters to 12 feet or 3.66 meters in height. These slimes prefer to take the form of a simple shape, most often a cube. As taking another form is surprisingly difficult for them to maintain as they are physically unstable. Interestingly, no matter the shape they take, the Volatile Slime will be cubic in nature. These Slimes are composed of a substance that is both incredibly acidic and incredibly poisonous. Volatile Slimes are incredibly dangerous as they are physically elastic, capable of engulfing objects and entities larger than them. When engulfing a target, their acidic properties allow for quick digestion of almost anything. Having an affinity to Naturia Magic, some Volatile Slimes are even capable of launching ranched attacks. Despite this power, Volatile Slimes are naturally slow moving and lethargic. Socially, these slimes live in small groups. Individuals share a toxic personality between them, making them pretty unlikable. Their more feral counterparts are renowned for hunting in caves and dungeons, they have a reputation amongst adventurers as one of the worst monsters to encounter. Volatile Smiles have a good relationship with the Amphibious.”

“Charged; [Chahrjd]”
“An interesting variant of the Slimes, the Charged Slime is electrifying in nature and often resides in the Lightning biome and various plains of Estea. Charged Slimes have an average lifespan of 60 years and mature at age 15. The average height of these Slimes ranges from 6 inches or 0.15 meters to 8 feet or 2.44 meters. Composed of a highly conductive substance, Charged Slimes have no preference in form. The core of Charged Slime constantly emits power, which is dispersed across the Slime for a shocking touch. These Slimes have an affinity to Cyclone Magic and are completely immune to electric attacks. In fact, Charged Slimes absorb the electricity around them to receive a major increase in speed, boasting a twister-like lower body when fully charged. Socially these Slimes are solitary and jumpy around those they do not know. Individuals are incredibly energetic and are prone to outbursts. It actually isn’t known how these Slimes originated, however Charged Slimes do have an unnatural bond with Stormkin and Lightning Elementals.”

“Kaboom; [Kuh-boom]”
“A mobile hazard, Kaboom Slimes are a relatively rare variant of Slime, only found in the Fire biome and various canyons of Estea. Kaboom Slimes have an average lifespan of 60 years, reaching adulthood at 16. Moreover, their average height ranges from 1 foot or 0.30 meters to 10 feet or 3.05 meters. Physically Kaboom Slimes have no preference of form. Moreover, these Slimes are composed of a highly explosive and reactive substance for their membrane. Like the Explosims, Kaboom Slimes are feared for their ability to detonate at will. However, these Slimes do not die when completely exploding, rather they become dormant for a couple hours. Due to them losing their membrane when exploding, Kaboom Slimes are severely weakened after an explosion, slowly regaining their strength over a day of resting. Additionally, these Slimes have an affinity towards Inferna Magic. Socially, Kaboom Slimes are solitary creatures, living alone or in pairs. Individuals range from being overly excitable to incredibly timid. Kaboom Slimes enjoy the presence of Explosims due to sharing similar natures.”

“Sludge; [Sluhj]”
“The final variant of Slime, the Sludge, is the newest discovered variant in this species. With no correlating location of home, Sludges are incredibly rare. Seemingly immortal, Sludges seem to mature at the age of 20. These Slimes have an average height ranging from 6 feet or 1.83 meters to 15 feet or 4.57 meters. Physically, Sludges prefer to take a Humanoid appearance. These Slimes are composed of an unknown toxic substance, it seems to resemble oil. Sludges have an unique ability to them, the capability to kill life from touch alone, this incredibly potent toxicity is unheard of. Exceptionally dangerous, Sludges have the additional ability to assimilate other Slimes into their variant, and Sludges themselves have the ability to copy whatever they have absorbed. Sludges have an affinity and skill in Abyssal and Chaos Magic. Compounding all of these abilities, Sludges are incredibly resilient and powerful, nigh immune to typical cuts, slashes, and stabs. Their only inherent weakness is their aversion to water, which can weaken or kill them. Contrasting this, Sludges have the ability to absorb pollution and waste to grow in strength and mass in a similar fashion as Neutral Slimes, Sludges can triple in height through this absorption. Interestingly, Sludges have the ability to control their fatal touch, only seeming to use it against foliage openly. Socially they live alone, wandering the world and destroying anything in its path and leaving a toxic trail of slime wherever it goes. Sludges are known for their violent and hostile nature. Most peculiarly, Sludges have a fondness towards Humans, actively attempting to interact with them and constantly attempting to harm and kill other species instead.”

“Slimes play a large role in a variety of cultures, histories, and artistic mediums, however the species varies so greatly that any effort to introduce them into other civilizations is nigh impossible. Now don’t get me wrong, several Slimes have been introduced to other societies and have integrated without problem, however due to the seemingly random behavior of the species, the attempts are limited to an individual scale. Many research efforts are currently underway to hopefully understand the inner mechanisms of these creatures. With any luck, a major breakthrough can be made. Whatever the case may be on a larger scale, localized attempts to integrate individual Slimes are going well, with many people hosting one in their home to allow it to grow used to different societies. Frankly it is kinda cute seeing these Slimes partake in the different cultures of civilizations with gleeful passion.”
