"There exist a huge diversity of slimes in every corner of the world. They come in all shapes and sizes, with varying elemental properties. All species are however pathetic and their deaths by that of your mighty sword shall not be mourned." - Epic Battle Fantasy 3 intro

Slimes are a recurring group of foes in the Epic Battle Fantasy series. Big Slimes are a subgroup of their family.

Overview

Slimes appear as roughly oval blobs of colorful ooze, snow, lava, or other substances. They have beady eyes and a small mouth with a cleft lip that makes them look slightly cat-like. When severely damaged or killed, their eyes tend to pop out of their heads in a comical fashion.

Many Slimes have objects embedded in their bodies, and some naturally develop other features such as ears, tails, and tiny clouds that inexplicably hover over them at all times.

Slimes are highly adaptive, being able to live almost anywhere on the planet. They often develop unique traits based on their environment, and can even breed with other species (as seen with the Furry Slime).

Combat Style

Slimes have the dubious distinction of being some of the weakest enemies in the EBF series. Their only attack is a jumping tackle with their gelatinous bodies. This strike inherits the element of the slime, with a very small chance of inflicting status effects, but the damage is negligible, even on higher difficulties. Some Slimes can cast magic spells such as Thunderbolt or Fire Rain, but their damage output is not much higher than their regular attacks

Slimes have low health, average defenses, and no special defensive abilities beyond the occasional beneficial status effect, which means that they can be very easily defeated by nearly any elemental attack they are weak to; even neutral elements will still deal a big chunk of their HP. Counter-attacks and multi-target moves are effective against Slimes, as they allow players to eliminate them without actually wasting turns against them, especially if they are in a large group.

In Epic Battle Fantasy 4 only, Slimes gained the ability to inflict the Slimed status effect with their regular attacks. While the chance was miniscule, the status was one of the most dangerous in the game, rendering its victim completely unable to act while drastically lowering their stats, and being unremovable by anything short of the victim's death or the end of its duration.

Species

  • Sand Slime (Epic Battle Fantasy 4, Epic Battle Fantasy 5)

Bullet Heaven

Slimes appear as regular enemies in this game that usually explode into bullets when defeated. A slime resembling a fortress also appears as the first boss of the game piloted by Kittens. It shoots mainly simple danmaku patterns, most of which are easy to dodge. This slime also has low health, as if high level attack shots are used on it, it would move on to the next phase in less than 5-10 seconds.

Trivia

  • Slimes, Kittens, Bushes, and Idols are the only creatures before EBF5 that have multiple models per type, excluding the damaged sprites of certain bosses.
  • Slimes feature in the loading screens of EBF3 and EBF5, with random species dropping out of the sky and sitting at random places on the ground. They can be splattered by clicking on them, causing a new Slime to drop a few seconds later; squishing 100 Slimes that way will award the player with the Slime Splatter and What Game? medals, respectively. Idols took up the role for EBF4's pre-loader.
  • Yellow Slimes and Slime Mice often have variations that resemble the various "Pikaclones" from the Pokémon franchise.
  • In EBF3, an NPC called Legolas laments that he is too "underleveled" to defeat a single Slime.
  • EBF2 is the only game in the series that does not feature a single species of Slime in its bestiary, although one appears as a summon.
