| Reference | monst.c#line1847 |
A green slime is a seemingly innocuous, but deadly creature. It is slow and weak, but it slimes unwary adventurers, a delayed instadeath if not cured.
Magic cancellation protects from the sliming attack. Green slimes also respect Elbereth, should one happen to appear outside Gehennom.
Green slimes leave globs instead of corpses. Globs are safe to touch, but not to eat. Monsters will pick up globs as a potential stoning cure, but only salamanders will actually eat them.
Generation
Green slimes are generated only in Gehennom, but can also be encountered elsewhere by a consequence of summon nasties monster spells or polymorphing shapeshifters like chameleons.
Sliming
Sliming is the process of a character turning into green slime as the result of either the slime's touch attack, using a biting attack against the slime, engulfing it, or eating a glob of it. It is shown as Slime in the status line. The process is fatal for you, but for other monsters they simply turn into a green slime. It is a slow process - you will have nine turns to take action against it if it is induced by the slime's attack or biting it and four turns if by means of engulfing it.
Code
The in-code description of green slime includes provision for a 0d0 sliming passive attack, but that as of 3.6.0, this has not been implemented.[1] However, the sliming passive attack still contributes to the experience points you earn for killing the green slime.
Mythology
Green slimes are borrowed from Dungeons & Dragons.
SLASH'EM
In SLASH'EM, the green slime's attack has a 1⁄4 chance of succeeding instead of 100%. They also drop normal corpses instead of globs, but the corpse is still unsafe to eat.
