The Ecto Slimes are small sized creature whose bodies are composed almost entirely of a gelatinous substance. Most types of slimes are simple-natured, and will attempt to feed on any available food source without discrimination or forethought. However, a rare few, if fed frequently, seem to become attached to the feeder. While capable of absorbing almost anything, slimes need at least water and some protein to survive. Additionally, slimes are able to grow in size when absorbing various types of liquids in their environment. It is believed that the intake of certain liquids can contribute to the adaptations, and numerous varieties of slimes known today. Additionally, upon growing to a sizable mass, a slime will split into smaller, less intelligent and powerful versions of itself as a result of destruction or reproduction.

The Ecto Slime attacks in a straight forward fashion, hopping and sliding toward a source of food. Upon reaching a target, the slime will attempt to dissolve said food, doing contact damage. Highly unstable, a slime will burst into smaller slimes upon death, making this creature quite annoying to deal with. However, it is notable that depending on the type of slime, highly dangerous status conditions can be contracted when making contact due to the dangerous chemicals, liquids, and absorbed matter makes up the slimes ectoplasm.

Luna's Lab Notes

~ The Ecto Slime is capable of inflicting darkwater poison to a target. So while it is relatively weak, massive amounts of damage can come from this small, seemingly harmless creature.

~ Feeding a micro slime of any variety an Endomorphic Jelly causes it to grow into an adult basic Slime. This process kills the micro slime and replaces it with a spawned hostile slime. This is true of captured slimes. Interestingly enough, when a captured adult slime dies, it will spawn two smaller friendly versions of itself. These two versions can be recombined into one at the Pet Healing Station, or summoned and recalled until death, giving this creature "multiple lives". This contributes to the idea that a slime that divides is simply a copy of the original, rather than a new being - as it's alliances and preferences remain upon dividing.

~ It appears there are mechanics for something called "Golemmancer" in which the ectoslime can be raised and even, perhaps befriended. I am intrigued and will do further research on this matter!

~ Thought to be the weakest enemy in any type of dungeon, adventure, or RPG, the slime falls easily to attacks and poses little threat to a brave adventurer.
