Slimekin

Physical Description

A humanoid figure made of a viscous liquid, that is almost transparent. The color of the liquid is dependant on the ancestors that the Slimekin descends from. Usually ranging from 5-7 feet in height.

History

After millions of years, a separate, more intellectual species branched from the common slime. The Slimekin took a more human-like appearance, but still kept the liquid-like body of their slime ancestors.

Society

Most Slimekin males have a soft name consisting of mostly vowels to match the way the slimekin talk to each other. Females are usually named after items or emotions, as it is considered a blessing among the community.
