[Slime Suggestion] Deep Slime
Posted: Thu Jan 07, 2016 1:40 am
((Sorry that I don't have all the prose hammered out. I've added the rest of the info in parentheses.))
Plorts starting value: 75
Rarity: Rarely found floating in the Slime Sea at night
or
Deep Slime
(looks based off of a dumbo octopus, with tentacles at the bottom and little "ear" flaps on the sides. It's a very dark teal sort of blue-green, with glowing yellow eyes. The "ears" flutter when they're happy)
Joke/Pun: Loves to cuttle.*
Diet: Slimes
Favorite: Honey Slime
Slimeology: Deep Slimes are the picky eaters of the deep Slime Sea, hunting surface slimes travelling across the bottom. They are delicate, and can be harmed by hostile slimes, so they avoid dangerous prey that can fight back, as well as unstable Largoes, and worse. A compound in pink slimes is highly toxic to them, and they will flee from even Pink Plorts.
(only eats non-attacking slimes with base plort values of [strike]30[/strike] 15 or more; will not eat Largos, Tarrs, or other Deep Slimes)
(cannot jump, only crawl and swim)
Risks:
(Will only plort in a pond that is both upgraded to be deeper and upgraded to have [strike]Slimewater[/strike] Nutrient-Enriched Gel Substitute water (which allows you to raise sea slimes without ruining the effects of fresh water). Also plorts in the Slime Sea, but in practice it's very hard to feed them in the wild due to how fast other slimes sink. Deep Plorts float even in Slimewater, but dissolve in sunlight)
(can climb over corral walls with their tentacles to eat your other slimes, but is slow on land, hindered by Air Nets, cannot jump, and will only go after slimes that it can see and would normally eat. Exception for Honey Slimes, which it can detect from the same range other slimes can detect Honey Plorts from)
(makes a distinct noise when travelling on land, to give the player better warning when one gets loose)
(cannot form Largos)
Plortonomics: Deep plorts can be processed into a coating that greatly increases an object's ability to withstand high pressures. Used in everything from submersibles to pressure cookers.
*(Yes, I know that dumbo octopuses don't have cuttlebones. These slimes probably don't, either)
((I guess it could be reworked to eat Meat and have a high-tier Hen as its favourite, but I don't think that'd make much sense, given its habitat))
