{{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]]. | |||

* Disabling their liquid spitting ability can be useful to prevent them from contaminating areas with potentially dangerous liquids, such as acid or black ooze. | |||
* If all their "hand" slots are full when gaining a new liquid, they will add two new "hand" slots and equip the new liquid's pseudopod in one of them. This can be exploited by giving them several melee weapons as a low-level sludge so they fill up their "hand" slots. If this is done with a monosludge immediately upon proselytization, the companion sludge will be able to equip as many melee weapons as it has liquids. | |||
