Sewer Slicker

Sewer Slicker
Sewer slickers are amorphous, gelatinous creatures that inhabit the labyrinthine network of underground tunnels and passages beneath Technomagica. Their existence is a testament to the city's unique fusion of magic and technology, as they thrive on the residual energy and waste that flow through the sewers.*
Appearance: Sewer slickers resemble large, semi-translucent blobs of viscous, glowing slime. Their size can vary from a few feet in diameter to several yards across, depending on their age and the abundance of technomagical waste they've consumed. Their bodies emit a faint, eerie light, casting a sickly green or bluish glow in the dark recesses of the sewers.
Abilities: These creatures possess the ability to absorb and discharge magical and technological energies. When threatened or provoked, they can release concentrated bursts of energy, making them formidable adversaries in confined spaces. Their amorphous bodies allow them to squeeze through tight passages and slip through grates, enabling them to move through the city's extensive sewer system.
Behavior: Sewer slickers are scavengers by nature. They feed on the technomagical waste that flows through the city's underground channels, absorbing stray spells, malfunctioning gadgets, and discarded magical components. Over time, they can incorporate these energies into their own forms, making them more potent.
Encounters: Encounters with sewer slickers can vary. Sometimes, they are content to slink away from intruders, seeking refuge in the deeper, more remote sections of the sewers. Other times, they may be territorial, fiercely defending their feeding grounds. Characters exploring the sewers may stumble upon these creatures in the midst of feeding, or they may be drawn by the characters' own magical auras.
Loot: While sewer slickers themselves don't possess tangible treasures, their acidic secretions can sometimes corrode valuable items, leaving behind traces of technomagical residue that alchemists and artificers might find valuable. Additionally, characters may recover magical energy absorbed by the slicker, potentially replenishing their own spellcasting abilities.
Encounters with sewer slickers can add an element of danger and intrigue to your adventures in Technomagica, especially when characters venture into the depths of the city's intricate sewer system in search of secrets or hidden passages.
