Corrupted Slime

Corrupted slimes are strange and unpredictable, as not much is known about how the Corruption affects the various slimes. But the most dangerous thing about them is that they can potentially spread the Corruption to whomever they come in contact with. Corrupted slimes are glutinous and will adhere to their prey that becomes afflicted with a ghastly, growing weakness until it is removed or the slime is satiated. Outside of the rare bottle of it in some witch's grotto or a wizard's study, corrupted slime in the wild is only to be found in or near the Corruption zone on the eastern side of Obojima. Thus, it is virtually unknown to the island at large.

Slimes: On Obojima, witches, warlocks, and wizards have long studied the wonders of slimes. Their strange, natural properties have been an object of fascination for centuries, and harnessing their powers has been an ongoing alchemical pursuit that has left more than one would-be potion brewer missing their eyebrows or a finger. Slimes are intelligent enough to know that they are sought out for their properties, so most of them are furtive and will scatter at the first sign of an ingredient hunter. Each slime has adapted clever and explosive ways of deterring and escaping from various forms of danger. Although most Obojimans don't travel that far from their villages, almost all have heard of slimes as every school kid gets a lecture about the peculiarities and dangers of slimes.
