 To the uninitiated, the green slime seems innocuous on its own, and fighting back against green slimes is not difficult: they possess quite low speed, unimpressive [[AC]] and no [[Magic resistance (monster)|MR score]], and move at half the speed of an average hero. However, their touch attack is extremely dangerous even for more seasoned players&mdash;the sliming it causes leaves you with nine turns to cure it (or four if you digested a live slime) before you are fully turned into a mindless green slime. As such, avoid remaining within melee range of the monster if at all possible and get rid of them as quickly as possible. Many types of [[ranged attack]] can dispatch them effectively, and green slimes respect [[Elbereth]], though this has no effect in Gehennom (where they are normally encountered); they also have a [[vulnerability]] to [[Fire (element)|fire]] in particular. An [[amulet of unchanging]] can both block sliming from the touch attack or the eaten glob and abort any current sliming, and [[cancellation]] will completely nullify the sliming touch attack.
-A hero that is pinned close to one (e.g. as part of a group of summoned nasties) or else has no way to avoid melee should have a source of fire or other applicable cure ready to go: successfully casting [[cure sickness]] will cure sliming, and a spare [[wand of fire]] can be just as effective at curing sliming as it is at dispatching slimes; prayer is sufficient if all else fails, though this will not work in Gehennom. High [[magic cancellation]] will significantly reduce the chance of sliming, although it obviously cannot be relied upon by itself. Heroes in the form of a [[mind flayer]] or [[master mind flayer]] should take special care to avoid melee (particularly for some [[speed ascension]]s), since their tentacle attacks have the same effect as eating the slime's glob directly unless they have a source of [[unchanging]]. To avoid being left helpless while near a green slime, other monsters with immobilizing abilities should also be treated with the utmost caution.

 Green slimes are a tempting choice of monster for single-target [[genocide]]s, especially for heroes that plan on keeping pets. Of note is that monsters will pick up the leftover globs from killed slimes as a potential [[stoning]] cure, but [[salamander]]s are the only ones who will actually eat them since they are fiery.
