The Slime can eat anything, it can even devour low level magical items, so long as the item fits within its body.

Description
Slimes are born in random areas that have a large concentration of natural magic energies. They are normally regarded as harmless due to their docile and non-harmful natures. If provoked they can be a nescience, and a pack can be deadly. Most are hunted for spellcasting ingrediency and other magical properties. The biology of the slime family remains an uncomplete mystery and is constantly studied. Their biology allows them to adapt and evolve into variant versions as the slime grows and consumes. Some take on elemental properties, which is the traditional notions of evolution of a slime. Other slimes evolve more uniquely, developing special skills and abilities. One of the rarest evolutional attributes of a slime is it's intelligence and the ability to communicate telepathically. Some are even considered to be good house pets, familiars and adventuring companions.
