Maybe? But green slime in particular has been in D&D since it began in 1974, so it's probably the other way around, although more and more slime creatures were introduced over time so I could see it being reciprocal. BOZ (talk) 07:17, 10 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Not sure this should be separate from Slime (Dragon Quest) or Gelatinous cube. Specifically, if most fantasy anime and video game slimes were based directly on the Gelatinous cube, then it should just be added to that article. Most of the article is content farms or about the substance rather than the creature besides the one Polygon article. What exactly are the WP:THREE sources (besides Polygon) about slimes as a fictional monster? (Speaking of which, Slime (monster) would likely be a better DAB. They are not just in fantasy, as the mention of Lovecraft in this very article proves). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:06, 10 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
The WP:THREE best sources would be Polygon, the Marijeta Bradić journal article, and the Literary Hub article (which as far as I can tell is content from the book Slime: A Natural History by Susanne Wedlich). As far as the title, I agree that "monster" is probably a better DAB, and I'll move the page. Di (they-them) (talk) 22:25, 10 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Where does the the Slime: A Natural History excerpt talk about pure slime monsters as a general monster type? It does refer to some specific slime monsters like The Blob, but doesn't appear to link them as part of a general monster group, only as part of the use of slime as a material, prop or gimmick used with monsters that were both made and not made of slime. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:27, 11 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
