Anatomically Correct Slimes

+0
−0

Slimes are a common monster we often see in games such as Minecraft, Terraria and Slime Rancher, but it is never explained how such an animal can exist. How could the body of such an animal even exist on land, how could they go about in nature?

As we have seen in the games these animals populate a slime can be described as:

  1. Having a slime like exterior
  2. Having a firm shape
  3. Moving around via hopping.
  4. Having eyes and having mouths

Assuming earth biology and natural occurrences, how could a slime exist? How could it movein such a way, how could it eat or even see? How does in not simply collapse like most slime-easque water animals do?

A list of all of the Anatomically Correct questions can be found here

Note

I am asking this side-question here, as I do not think it warrants a meta post. As of the posting of this question Anatomically Correct has received thousands of views, 43 questions and over a hundred answers, but the last one was asked in November. Should we end anatomically correct? I am unable to continue it as we are obviously running out of creatures. This being possibly the last entry on anatomically correct, I am going to also post an answer
