Description
These slimes are often found in ore rich caves, dungeons and mine shafts and are typically a rusty orange colour based on the metal they eat, rarer corrosive smiles can be found with hues of blue and or green.
Often considered the bane of miners and metal users alike and yet revived as a good omen believed that rich ore veins nearby. One or two of these slimes aren't much of a problem, many more than that and the supply of precious metals can slow right down until the mine has been cleared.
Few blacksmiths have learned how to forge with the pre-refined minerals absorbed by these slimes, those that have are known as Ooze-smiths and often craft weapons and gear resistant to the corrosive effects of these slimes.
