Giant slimes are large, green oozes that prowl in dark, wet areas like swamps and sewers to find prey. They usually subsist off of fungi and plants, but when a more substantial meal wanders past, they pounce and slay them, dissolving all organic materials before moving on to find other prey. As such, they sometimes contain coins and other valuables from previous victims. Their powerful enzymes can break down almost any organic substance, but stone, metal, and other similar substances are completely untouched. They are unusually quick and intelligent for oozes, hunting with an almost calculated approach, attempting to separate prey, devouring them one by one. It can also vaguely designate hostile creatures from friendly creatures, a trait unheard of in most other oozes. Ooze Nature. A giant slime doesn't require sleep. |
