“The most obvious attributes are simply they are extra soft and squishy, usually transparent so you can see everything going on inside of them,” Celladoore said. It is assumed that this cycle of "splitting and fusing" repeats several times throughout a slime's lifetime.”Īll of this might be starting to sound intimidating-the cell biology, the DnD, the manga-but at the end of the day, it’s very simple and tactile. This newly formed slime will then embark to live its life until eventually opting to split parts of its mass to form more new slimes which will embark on their own to gain nutrient and experience, thusly repeating the cycle. At this point, the new slime will absorb (or be absorbed by) the other slime and the pair's combined experiences and nutritional makeup will form a completely new slime that is ideally superior to their previous individual forms. This new slime will then embark on its own to gain nutrient and experience until at such a point that it has gained enough nutrient and/or experience to become desirable enough to be absorbed by another slime or it finds a slime that it may desire to absorb. “At a certain point in its life cycle, a slime will split a part of its mass to form a new slime. “Some people with transformation fetishes like them, and enjoy the idea of being turned into a slime girl.”Īccording to the Monster Musume canon, Slimes eat using phagocytosis (a term borrowed from cell biology, meaning they envelop their food to absorb and consume it) and reproduce through "splitting and fusing,” a process I’m incapable of paring down in conscience terms so please just read the whole description: “Many people like the idea of restrained/smothered or in some cases even absorbed,” she said. There’s definitely a touch of fem-domme fetish in some of these creations, an assessment Celladoore agrees with: Monster girls, in general, have a dominatrix quality, with sexual partners as their prey. She’s a Slime, which the Monster Musume fandom defines as a rare, “liminal race whose bodies are composed almost entirely of a gelatinous substance.”
Still, it sounds professional so let’s go with it.Ī good many goo girl creations are based on a character named Suu, from the manga Monster Musume: Everyday Life With Monster Girls. Urban Dictionary, the only place I could find a Latin-named definition of this fetish, calls it “ limophilia,” as “limo” means “slime” in Latin, and “philia” is “love.” I couldn’t find limophilia referenced in the context of slime girls anywhere else, however, so this is probably made up by a user contributor.
