This guide illustrates the why it is important for delvers to recognize the difference between slime girls and ooze girls. For more general information on local amorphous fauna check with your nearest webkeeper or pages guild.
while slime girls tend to be made of thinner more liquidity material that can easily be seen through, they have barely any corrosive strength, and most types are opportunistic herbivores that will only eat meat in certain circumstances, the only danger related to them is that the spores that they spawn from are small enough to be inhaled this can cause symptoms like troubled breathing, rash, and in extreme cases respiratory failure but this has only happened is cases where the person was exposed to active spores for over 13 cycles, it is unknown what happens to a persons body after they expire due to inhaling slime girl spores. Current theorys believe that the corpes is used as nutritints the same as a dead body that expires due to other means would be used. While research is sparse There is still no credence too the rumor that dying in this way somehow turns the people into slime girls.
Ooze girls on the other hand fill a sort of opposing niche to slime girls, and are much more dangerous, and even in some cases aggressive. Ooze girls have much higher corrosive abilities to the point of being able to desolve plastics semi-rapidly and metals in quadruple that time. They are thick sometimes with chunks of or even full items or bodies that they have caught. they appear cloudy if they have desolved a meal recently. ooze girls also have much bigger spores then slime girls, they are so large that someone would have to be physically force-fed to ingest one. There are no reported cases of this happening. The most important thing to know about ooze girls is how to avoid them. They spend most of their time in a sleeping state, but when they become hungry they start slowly moving towards any vibrations they can sense in the area. Once they get close but still out of sight of their prey and can sense that it is sleeping. they normally find a small crevice that they can fit into leaving behind any mostly digested materials they are still holding while they wait for their pray to fall into deep sleep they then leave their crevice and engulfed their prey while they increase solvent production in their body. Its prey will wake up in the process of this but it is unlikely that it can escape at this point. This hunting style makes ooze girls particularly adept at hunting delvers this is why it is important to check just outside of rest sites for any partially desolved items or organic matter before sleeping.
There is currently research being conducted into the biological origins of silme ooze and other amorphous creatures. And sightings of potential variants like ooze girls that mimic humanoids and attack once close. Or slime girls that rapidly spread spores to asexuly reproduce with no attempt at sustaining themselves
