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 it is {{favilink|cloning draught}}, in which case it will be fresh {{favilink|water}} 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.

They start with 4 pseudopods that do {{heart}}{{dice tooltip|4d4}} damage that have a +6 to hit, but can grow more as more liquids are absorbed. Soupy sludges attack with all of their pseudopods in one turn. This combined with the [[cudgel]]'s ability to [[dazed|daze]] can cause a [[stunned|stunlock]].
Soupy sludges 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 soupy sludge's 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]].
