A {{name}} is a low level [[oozes|ooze]]. They mainly appear in the [[Rainbow Wood]] if a liquid interacts with 500 or more drams of {{favilink|primordial soup}}.

Sludges that emerge from the primordial soup will also gain a [[Liquid Spitter|liquid spitting]] ability, similar to but not the same as {{favilink|Slog of the Cloaca}}'s spitting ability. This has a range of 8 tiles and will spit a liquid in a 3x3 area. The liquid has a 20% chance of being the first liquid that the sludge has absorbed (unless that liquid is {{favilink|cloning draught}}, {{favilink|brain brine}}, or {{favilink|sunslag}}, in which case fresh {{favilink|water}} will also be included, making the spite the dilute version of the liquid instead); otherwise, it will be a combination of all absorbed liquids. These liquids are not considered poured and thus do not become salty when spawned unless one of the liquids absorbed was salt.

{{name|plural}} start with 4 pseudopods, [[cudgel]] weapons that do {{heart}}{{dice tooltip|4d4}} damage and have a +6 to-hit bonus, but can grow more as more liquids are absorbed. Each of a {{name|possessive}} pseudopods have a 100% chance to attack in melee, meaning it will attack with all of its pseudopods at once when making a melee attack. This, combined with the cudgel's ability to [[dazed|daze]], can cause a creature to become [[stunned|stunlocked]].
