Editing Slime (section)

===Pre-3rd Edition===
* '''Gelatinous Cube''': Perhaps the most notorious slime to come out of the tabletop game field is the gelatinous cube, a D&D monstrosity that takes the form of a huge cube-shaped mass of near-translucent gray or green jelly, perfectly sized for oozing through the typical dungeon corridor as a living, insurmountable barrier. It was originally created by Gary Gygax as a joke, being the exact size of one grid square. Like the [[Rust Monster]] and [[Owlbear]], it's one of those absurdities that everyone pokes fun at, but which has too much nostalgic fondness from the fanbase for anyone to seriously consider getting rid of it. Later, fortunately, it ''did'' come with a half-assed explanation: wizards breed them as living janitorial services to clean the garbage out of the perfectly-square corridors of their evil dungeons. As it's also mostly-transparent, save for the dissolving bits of armor floating in it like fruit in a jello dessert, walking straight into it only to be engulfed is an occupational hazard for dungeon-delvers. It has a paralyzing touch. Its weaknesses vary depending on the edition. Oh, and this thing is so (in)famous that it even showed up in a Disney film!

* '''Black Pudding''' / '''Deadly Puddings''': Has nothing to do with the food called black pudding - this one has come to take Sam Tarly. Comes in other colors besides black, depending on what environment they are found in. All of the different colors are called Deadly Puddings. Can split if hit by weapons or lightning. Black puddings can dissolve organic material and metal. White puddings look identical to ice and snow and can instantly dissolve organic matter. Dun puddings live in deserts and can instantly dissolve leather, and can also eat metal. Brown puddings live in marshes and can instantly dissolve leather and wood.  Stone puddings, grey puddings, and dense puddings all live underground.  Stone puddings are slow moving and attack by dropping on prey from the ceiling, but can only dissolve flesh.  Grey puddings can dissolve leather, wood, and metal, including magical armor, but they also are vulnerable to certain spells.  Dense puddings are smarter than other puddings and infect people they attack with a debilitating disease, but are slower, not well camouflaged because of their blue color, and can only dissolve living flesh.

* '''Grey Ooze''': Can rapidly corrode non magical metal similarly to a Rust Monster, but cannot dissolve stone. Is immune to cold and fire. Can camouflage itself as a puddle of water. In 5th edition they can sometimes develop the ability to use psychic attacks. Grey oozes are completely different in 4th edition. They have a foul smell that give an attack penalty and their acid attack can melt your bones.

* '''Green Slime''': Green slimes are mostly immobile and are more similar to plants. Their only attack that they have is dropping on people who walk under them. Anybody who touches one will turn into one if they are not cured quickly. They are vulnerable only to fire, cold, and cure disease spells. They can eat through both metal and wood. The Green Slime returned in 4th edition but heavily changed. It is no longer immobile or able to infect people with a touch, but still prefers to surprise enemies by dropping on them. It is weak against fire and light.  Green Slime returns again in 5th edition, but is now classified as a dungeon hazard instead of a monster and so doesn't have stats, though its traits are similar to how it behaved in early editions.  It destroys metal and organic material on contact and can be destroyed by sunlight, anything that cures disease, or anything that does fire, cold, or radiant damage.

* '''Crystal Ooze''': Native to the caverns of the Plane of Earth, these crystalline slimes usually subsist on the minerals found in rocks with the oldest being fuck hueg. While they're content to just leech what they need from their surroundings, Crystal Oozes will attack any living creature for the minerals in them and they're no push-overs either. Their slam attacks deal piercing and slashing damage and can crit on rolls of 18-20. They also give off a Subsonic Hum that can stun an opponent while the Ooze slithers over and engulfs them at their leisure. If the victim fails their Fortitude save, they become petrified and a new Crystal Ooze pops out in 1d4 hours. They're immune to the cold and electricity and resist fire; however, their bodies can shatter and split from bludgeoning and sonic attacks. Crystal oozes are completely different in second edition D&D. Instead, they are a variant of grey ooze that lives underwater and corrodes organic material, but not metal. Weapons can only deal 1 point of damage to a crystal oozes.

* '''Slithering Tracker''': An intelligent slime that is nearly transparent. It paralyzes victims and slowly drains them of plasma. In 5e, they are said to be created from humanoids who willingly gave up their forms to get revenge on somebody they hated.

* '''Mustard Jelly''': What happens when an idiot wizard tries to polymorph into an Ochre Jelly. It produces poisonous fumes that smell like mustard and slow down those who breathe them in. It is intelligent and can split in two at will, instead of splitting when hit with weapons. It cannot climb up walls or squeeze through tight spaces like ochre jellies can. It is immune to normal weapons, takes half damage from cold and the magic missile spell heals it, and it can eat through wood.

* '''Olive Slime''': A plant like slime similar to the green slime, but even more dangerous. Like the green slime it is immobile and attacks by dropping on people that walk under it, and it produces a venom that causes numbness so the victim may not even notice the attack. It possesses the victims it infects and slowly eats them from the inside out, turning them into plant like zombies that melt into olive slime when they die, and can spread the infection. It is immune to everything except acid, fire, cold, and cure disease spells, and spells that affect plants. The zombies are the same except they are weak to magic missile instead of cure disease. If a olive slime meets a green slime then one of them will destroy the other.

* '''Stunjelly''': Similar to a gelatinous cube. It disguises itself as a stone wall, although remains semi transparent. It has most of the same weaknesses as a gelatinous cube, except that cold affects it normally. First appeared in [[Fiend Factory]] as the '''Living Wall'''.

* '''Aballin''': Also known as "living water", aballins are a type of slime that resembles a pool of stagnant water, strangely devoid of life and full of metals like coins and armor. Despite looking like water, Aballins are composed of a weak acid, which it uses to digest their victims after wrapping around their heads and drowning them (which means water breathing is pointless). Due to their semi-liquid bodies, they prefer to live in water but slither like slugs (up to a 30 degree slope). Unlike most other slimes, its roughly as smart as a wild animal and can learn to hunt its prey. Legend has it that the first was a druid polymorphed by an archwizard's curse. They are immune to fire, cold, and electricity, but are vulnerable to spells that affect water, and when they are pretending to be a pool of water they cannot be harmed by anything that wouldn't affect a pool of water.  They also cannot be damaged by piercing and slashing weapons, and if you try there is a chance you will hit the person the aballin is trying to drown instead.

* '''Lava Ooze''': An ooze made of lava.  They are immune to fire and vulnerable to cold.   In third edition, it consumes metal and stone, but cannot digest gems, which become stuck its body until it is killed.

* '''Ghaunadan''': A shapechanger that serves the god [[Ghaunadaur]] whose true form resembles an ooze but also can transform into either a male human or a female [[Drow]] (So yes, this means that [[#Monstergirls|slimegirls]] are totally canon in D&D).  In humanoid form they have a charming gaze and in ooze form their attacks cause paralysis.  They are resistant to blunt weapons and while in ooze form can disarm enemies by trapping their weapons in its body.

* '''Flareater''': A slime that likes to drop on prey from the ceiling.  They are mobile unlike green slimes.  While they can eat flesh, their favorite foods are light sources.  They can increase their hitpoints by consuming both magical and non-magical light sources, and split when they reach enough hitpoints.  They are immune to damage from light, heat, and fire, although long term sun exposure will kill them, and they are paralyzed by cold damage.

* '''Symbiotic Jelly''': An intelligent slime that lives in a cave where it charms a carnivorous monster and uses illusions to make the monster appear as something less dangerous and add fake treasure to the cave to act as bait.  When the monster it has charmed feeds on meat it somehow remotely feeds the slime as well. First appeared in [[Fiend Factory]] as the '''Chaoticus Symbioticus'''.

* '''Darklore''': Slimes native to the [[Lower Planes]] that feed by sucking ''evil'' knowledge out of people's heads. They were created when a behemoth fleshcrafted by the [[yugoloth]]s got dunked into the River Styx. The puddles that splashed upon the banks of the river became the first Darklores.
