Slimoids are amoeba-like humanoid beings. Their body makeup is strange and sometimes causes them to be mistaken for water elementals. Their body's interior mostly consists in a special plasm, while instead of skin they have a clear membrane. To eat, they can open a food vacuole from their lips or any other point on their body. Then they take in food- of any size that they can wrap their membrane around without risk of being injured- which is then broken down quite clearly in plain view, which can be a rather disturbing sight. Their bodies are quite malleable. While this means they can slip into very small and irregular spaces to hide, it also means that they can be slurped up with ease. Slug Girls pose a deadly threat to slimoids, as they do to oozes. A slimoid's only real weak point internally would be their 'nucleus' structure, a small nexus more magical than not, which serves multiple critical functions. Slimoid nature means it's fairly easy for them to master the discipline of magic-structured shape-changing. This enables slimoids, with practice, to take on more detailed and differing forms, albeit keeping their amoeba nature. To defend themselves, it's not uncommon for slimoids to elongate their arms and form whipping pseudapods with them. Some specimens are aquatic, while others are not. Those that are take more streamlined forms than their terrestrial counterparts. All slimoids need a moist environment, or at least easy access to water in order to survive, and they reproduce via mitosis.
