Sludge Slime!

[CoconutKeith]

Not every slime can be adorable... Someone has to get the short end of the stick.

Slimeology: The Sludge slime is a slime that resembles the tar in terms of coloration and patterns, but it still has the anatomy of a slime (normal eyes, mouths, ect). Due to this, slimes are often scared away from this slime. If hordes of slimes are headed in one direction, sludge slimes can be found in the other direction. Sludge slimes are rare, similar to hunters, but not as rare. If two sludge slimes find eachother, they are often friends for life. If three are found together, they consider themselves family. Due to their appearance, sludge slimes will not be targeted by the tarr.

Diet: Fruit

Favored food: Oil mellons (large mellons with a black outer shell, and oil swirls around on the inside)

Dangers to ranchers: Sludge slimes themselves have no natural predators, so they don't need a way to defend themselves. However, other slimes around them will attempt to get away from them, and will become irritated if they cannot.

Plortonomics: Sludge plorts are often used in place of oil on earth, and also produce few green house gases when used.

Tell me your thoughts on this slime! Thanks for reading!

Nice idea.

suggestion: putting a fashion pod on them calms slimes down, and putting googly eyes on them causes slimes to become happy

I like that! It really makes the fashion pods more than just cosmetics, and it fits the sludge slime well!

Hopefully they aren't mistaken for Tarr by Hydro Turrets! XD

That could be a cool thing determined ranchers have to work around!
