Soupy sludge: Difference between revisions

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}}. If spawned from primordial soup, the sludge has a special ability to absorb liquids on the ground to rapidly gain level, stats, and status inflicting attacks.{{Code Reference|class=LiquidProteanGunk}} Because soupy sludges have no other unique features if they do not spawn from this soup, the rest of this article will assume that it was spawned from it.

Sludges that emerge from the primordial soup will also gain a [[Liquid Spitter|liquid spitting]] ability, similar to but not the same as Slog's spitting ability. This has a range of 8 tiles and will spit a liquid in a 3x3 area. The liquid is a 20% chance of being the first liquid that the sludge has absorbed (unless it is cloning draught, in which it is fresh water instead), with the other being 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 daze can cause a stunlock.

Soupy sludges will absorb most liquids that they step into. Being covered in or having liquid poured on them does not let the absorb the liquid. For each new liquid absorbed:

* they will equip a new psuedopod based on the liquid absorbed. If they have no more free pseudopods, they will grow two new ones and equip the new pseudopod on one of the new limbs.

Each pseudopod does {{heart}}{{dice tooltip|4d4}} damage that have a +6 to hit. The only difference is the effect that they have.
