Slimes are a type of amorphous creature typically found in video games and fantasy stories. They are often depicted as squishy, gelatinous blobs that can move around and attack their enemies by either absorbing them or releasing some sort of acid or slime. Slimes come in a variety of colors and sizes, ranging from small, harmless creatures to massive, powerful monsters. They are often portrayed as weak to fire, and frequently appear as early-game enemies in RPGs. Slimes have become a popular trope in gaming culture, appearing in a wide range of games.
