Range: 8
Area: 3x3
Cooldown: 40 rounds
You can walk over slime without slipping.

Slime Glands is a physical mutation which allows a creature to spit slime into a targeted 3x3 area. For each of the cells in that area, there is an 80% chance of creating a pool of 500 drams of slime. This mutation also grants slimewalking, a passive ability that prevents slipping on and getting stuck in various liquids (not just slime).

Slime Glands costs one mutation point at character creation and, like all 1-point mutations, cannot be leveled-up.

Slime Glands can be taught by a legendary ooze such as k-Goninon to any player, even True Kin or Espers.

Ability Cooldown

Slime Glands' cooldown (CD) in rounds depends on the user's willpower (WI) attribute:

Advantages & Disadvantages

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

Advantages

• Very low mutation point cost
• Can be used to hinder enemy movement by filling tight corridors with slippery slime
• Makes walking through slime, asphalt and other similar liquids much less frustrating
• Can dilute dangerous liquids with slime, making it slightly safer to wade or swim through
• Always have slime available, which can be used to extinguish fire or create gel

Disadvantages

• Creatures slip in a random direction, meaning that a pool of slime may actually move them closer to the player
• Some creatures, such as those found in slime biomes, are immune to slipping on slime
• Very easy to mix pools of valuable liquids, such as water or cloning draught, with slime
