Ooze of Wraeclast: Introduce Slime Monster Types

Slimes and oozes are a classic ARPG staple, and honestly, it’s surprising PoE2 hasn't leaned into this monster type. These gelatinous creatures devourer anything and everything. Their attacks deal chaos damage (fitting as chaos damage is considered unnatural). These monsters would be found in caves and underground environments.

New Monster Type: Slimes & Oozes
* Slime prefers melee attacks, but can lob slime balls at range
* Attacks deal chaos damage and has innate chaos resist
* Leaves slime trail, creates "Sticky Ground" (reduces MS)
* Undergoes splitting when slain into two smaller slimes
* Two smaller slimes coalesce, fusing back into larger slime
* Vulnerable to fire and cold damage

I think these mindless, gross, non-human creatures could be a staple monster type for this game. GGG could take inspiration from slimes in an old arpg named Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance.

cool idea

Yeah, thought slime monsters were done really well in Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance. Could be the same for PoE2. I think having more varied monster types in arpgs in important.

And also make them consume players weapons when struck in melee, like D&D ooze cubes:) Warriors are having it too easy in poe kapp.

Yes this would be great with a rare that revives minions.

I support this.

I was thinking a big slime mini-boss that spawns new smaller slimes every time you wack at it. That would be a pretty annoying boss fight to say the least.

Hope to see this new monster type in Act 5.

Do it, and give us a gelatinous cube pet. Let me stick an item in it; it could operate as a portable Item Display Case.

Kinda feels like there's a bit of a slime theme going on in the Grim Tangle. I guess that's fungus, but there's still a mob that lobs "slimey" fungus balls at you already.
