Slimes

Slimes are magical monsters native to the world that Touya reincarnated into.

Description
Slimes in their base form are soft creatures, squishy to the touch. Their appearance depends on the specific abilities of the slime (e.g. slimes that melt clothes are green in colour), this is used by people to identify the specific slimes.

Most slimes are smaller than humans; there are however, recorded instances of slimes matching humans in size.

Slimes are very fragile creatures, being easily defeated by most conventional or magical attacks.

Behavior
Being small and fragile, most slimes are very cowardly in nature, preferring to flee from larger threats such as adventurers tasked with eliminating them unless they have claimed a territory. As such, there has been no recorded instances of a slime encounter being lethal.

When slimes have claimed a territory however they will aggressively guard the area against any intruders including other slimes. They will stay within their territory and will often not wander anywhere else.

Slimes explode and release a gas that resembles steam when killed.

Abilities
Slimes have the innate ability to self-replicate, meaning that a single slime can grow into an infestation if left unchecked for long periods of time.

Every slime also has its own unique ability which determines their type, these abilities range from changing forms to match their surroundings to being able to dissolve matter such as plants or flesh. As such the potential danger level of a slime depends on whatever ability they possess.

Slimes are deceptively agile creatures, capable of evading most basic attacks, which can leave adventurers frustrated when their attempts to kill a slime end up being dodged.

Artificial Slimes
Being a magical creature, slimes can be created artificially by skilled magic users, the type the user is able to create is mostly random.

These fake slimes behave like their natural counterparts, retaining their territorial nature. They do however have a tendency to pick up habits of their own.

Like regular slimes, artificially created slimes also have their own unique abilities. It is unknown if artificial slimes retain the ability to self-replicate.
