Some form of Elemental Shapeshifter can be (or turn into) this, if they're capable of becoming water, mud/sludge, clay, lava or liquid metal. Typically this takes the form of them being hard to hurt with conventional attacks (how do you stab something that has no heart?) but vulnerable to, say, fire or some other sort of special type of damage. Sometimes, they can split into smaller ones when killed.Īnother feature they commonly have in video games is being highly resistant to one form of attack, yet vulnerable to another. Whether they are resistant to drowning or weak to it will also vary, leaning towards the latter if it's the player-controlled character.

In both cases, strictly neutral or mindless examples are simply shapeless masses of goo, gelatin or ectoplasm, with no outward distiguishing features and strictly stimulus-response behavior. Western works also tend to give them water droplet-like bodies when cute, but instead give them large, bulging eyeballs that loosely float in their mass for the same effect when evil, they tend to have runnier bodies and usually have other villainous features, such as teeth, or being hazardous to the touch. Eastern media tends to depict them as cute gum-drop like blobs with bright colors and small Black Bead Eyes when cute, and dark or harsh colors and jagged mouths when evil. ![]() Their appearance will also vary depending on the work, as well as whether they are supposed to be cute or disgusting.
