The green slime is a seemingly innocuous creature found only in Gehennom. It is slow and weak, but its touch slimes unwary adventurers, a delayed instadeath if not cured. Eating the corpse will also slime you.

Being slimed ends your game; however, you can safely polymorph into a green slime and play as one that way (inconsistent as this may seem). This is probably a bad idea, since green slimes are statistically poor monsters and haphazardly turning other monsters into slime is a good way to put yourself in a very dangerous situation when your polymorph wears off.

Note that the in-code description for green slime includes provision for a 0d0 sliming passive attack, but that as of 3.4.3, this has not been implemented. (needs references)
