Enemy Analysis: Slimes

Hello everyone! System Designer Dillon here, back again to showcase one of the enemies you'll be dealing with in City of Abominations!

Today's enemy we're going to look at is the slime: a pesky ambush predator found in every district of the city: Slimes!

The slime can be found in all districts, although the environments in those districts have caused the slimes there to adopt certain traits to make themselves as deadly as possible. 

The slimes in the slums are plentiful, due to an ample amount of food in the form of rats, garbage, and those foolish enough to brave the alleyways alone. Slimes are almost never alone, as they tend to swarm around an area to clear it out of anything remotely digestible.

The industrial district has a slime issue as well; though less common than the slums, the slimes here have been quickened by the poisonous chemicals in the runoff made by factories, and leave a noxious, acidic gas on death that eats away at anything in it.

The elite district tries its best to curb the slime population in it, making encountering a slime less common, but there have been rumors amongst the guards that strange, gray masses have been seen in some of the armories, with membranes of steel and an appetite for armor... especially if something's wearing it.
