Slimes

Slimes' namesake comes from their construction. Their body is essentially a translucent, greenish mass of slime that can move quite readily over terrain. Though they are one of the weaker foes one can encounter, the Slime can be quite a nuisance to the adventuring party as they often split into two when attacked. They are typically found in moist environments such as swamps and dungeons.

A Slime attacks by ejecting part of it's body at a nearby foe. This chunk is usually well-laden with poison.

First appeared in Ultima IV. They typically ambushed parties holed up at camp in Ultima V.

Lore
''This grotesque gelatinous mass lives in the depths of a dungeon or the murkiest corners of a swamp. It reproduces by dividing itself and grows through the absorption of other slimes. Slimes attack by hurling foul blobs of slime at their intended victims. Fire is known to be a very effective weapon against them.''
