Grimes are slow-moving, all-consuming monsters that appear as nothing more than a heaping pile of toxic sludge. They form a mouth and eyes at their leisure, but cannot create jointed limbs. Often purple or brown, they are easy to spot for any trained eye.
Grimes are a major source of horrific diseases, like leprosy, brain rot, gangrene, and more. They spread disease to make it easier for them to travel and consume prey that cannot hope to flee in its diseased state. To eat, they will simply move atop their victim and sit there, digesting them inside the sludge to create more disease and continue along their way.
Physical weapons are useless against them, and fire is highly discouraged, as a grime that has the wrong materials within it could release toxic fumes into the air. Magic is the only way to battle one, and it must be used to separate the grime into several piles to be swept up into a disinfectant truck. Truth be told, the best way to fight them is to not fight at all. Keeping a city clean is the easiest way to prevent them from being a problem.
