A Skarr warrior, Kidnapped by the Citadel in an attempt to steal her skills for their own purposes. After escaping from their grasp in the Whiteward, she fled to the Blasted Steps, hiding amongst the dark stone and blinding sand. There she crafted her dark armour and great blade, to protect herself till the day she had the strength to return home. But despite her successful escape, the citadel had left its mark. Her mind, clouded by the cruel invasion of her shell by the Whitewards surgeons and the Haunting, forces her to test the strength of any bug who crosses her path. Perhaps, once bested in battle, her mind may finally clear...

Here's a little blerb from your resident Slime scientist of their encounter with this specific Slime; "While exploring deep within the recesses of an ancient cave gathering further research for my studies, I found the old remains of what seemed to be a Gorgon of some sort. Had it perished at the hands of some glory-seeking knight? Or had it simply withered away with age, forgotten and unseen, like so many of us do? I couldn't tell you. But, after searching the cave for any lost treasures or artifacts, I was suddenly attacked! A long, serpentine creature darted through the dark, obscuring its form using the many stone warriors around me. I cast a simple spell, illuminating my surroundings more than my crude torch could. To my surprise, what I had initially thought was just another Gorgon turned out to be a Slime, once again demonstrating their remarkable skills of mimicry! With its form made visible, it rose, displaying an expression that almost seemed like anger. As I stared at it, I soon found my body began to feel numb, almost as if I'd been out too long in the cold! I escaped with haste, surprised at this occurrence. Had it developed a similar ability to a Gorgon? Could such a thing occur? I soon learned later upon talking to the townsfolk who lived nearby, the Slime, in an attempt to mimic the long dead Gorgon, stole a helm with a special stone embedded in it. The stone was imbued with a restraint spell, and is normally worn by the town's gate guardsmen, to aid in fending off bandits and the like. What an ingenious use of such a simple tool! I must look further into similar cases, perhaps Slimes are more intelligent than even I thought!"
Funny slime knight hehe Lil lore tidbit I came up with while making this: Though most consider Slimes the weakest of the monster species, if given enough time and the resources are readily available, Slimes can infact evolve to mimic the movements and appearance of other creatures around them. Most that evolve take on a more humanoid form, as most humans will readily avoid them in favour of hunting bigger game, and thus Slimes have plenty of time to observe adventurers during their battles.
