Slime

[placeholder for fluff quote with obscure references]

Locations
Lava slimes are found on lava planets while blue slimes can be found on various planets. Since Beta 25 it is difficult to find a consistent habitat preference for slimes.

Appearance and Behaviour
Slimes are amorphous lifeforms that exist in two varieties; the Lava slime is bright orange with dark red lines. The regular slime is blue and has no markings. Slimes are hostile and will slowly glide towards nearby players until they are in melee range and can attack. How they inflict damage on their victims (physical, chemical or energy) is not known. On the Subzero Distress Planet Hems describes slimes as "Be careful of those creatures. They're a bit unpredictable, seeped right through the walls of my base. Plus, they secrete a nasty substance that'll melt right through your suit if you don't watch your back".
