You should also include the tiny slimeballs that replace the Lost Soul in HtP since you can see them inside. You could also do some color variations using Palette Translation, too.

So that's what they're supposed to be, I though they were eyes or some other kind of alien organ. They're used as projectiles instead of Lost Soul variants.

Seems like a cool monster to me, nice work! I don't have any complaints. Weird seeing the old sprites from Hell To Pay being used for something! The only suggestion I have would be to make it split into smaller slime monsters when it dies, or to throw out smaller ones like a Pain Elemental.

Hmm, got a script error here.

"Slime monster.pk3:decorate.txt" line 230:
"ONLYSLAMSOLID" is an unknown flag

GzDoom version used : g4.9.0 64-Bit on Win10

Any ideas?

Edit: Removing the offending flag, fixes the issue. I take it, the flag is an advanced behaviour?

On a design note, these dudes are really Hexen..ish. I loaded them into Hexen. Suits the theme really well! They are gnarly with the damage. Excellent monster.

ONLYSLAMSOLID was added shortly after GZDoom 4.9 came out. Update to a newer version and it will work fine.

Really cool monster, reminds me of old D&D games :)

Love the sprites and the behavior. The only odd thing I found is that the orange drip just disappears without a splat or anything like that. But it's probably only really noticable when the small orange slime is wandering around without attacking anything and you have time to observe it.
