Garren was born the heir of his father, lacking neither money nor status, and felt as if the world were at his fingertips. Surely he wasn't the most affluent of individuals, but being a noble required tiresome banquets and soirees where he had no choice but to mingle with others of high society. Not to mention his duties as the heir of his household, the stress of it all was undeniably a heavy weight on his shoulders. Garren hardly had an outlet to let out all this steam built within himself. He couldn't bring himself to frequent prostitutes, as it would bring shame to his family, and he tired of fencing amongst soldiers that wouldn't dare fight at their full strength. No, to alleviate himself of stress he had a secret hobby of raising himself a monster.
The slime is a commonplace monster, gelatinous, fluid, and skilled in mimicry. Although they are thought to be relatively mindless with no thought of their own, they have a basic understanding of emotion in order to trick their prey. Despite their relatively docile nature and appearance, slimes are considered highly dangerous and high maintenance. In society, slimes that grow too large are destroyed before they can cause harm to the citizens. The work of a slime is often retained to dealing with waste and decomposing matter, but in the wild they consume their prey alive and use their body pressure to crush the prey before dissolving them into energy. Slimes may also consume stones and minerals if no live prey or decomposing matter is to be found.
