The Green Slimes were creatures from the 1968 B-movie The Green Slime.
Description[]
The Slimes began their existence as a mass of green slime, as their name implies. Over time, they developed the ability to harness external energy, allowing them to evolve into one-eyed, green, tentacled humanoid forms capable of reproduction. In this evolved state, the Slimes gained the ability to generate electrical bolts, which they use to attack their enemies.
History[]
After Earthbound scientists discover an asteroid named Flora on a collision course with Earth, a group of astronauts from the space station Gamma 3 are dispatched to the asteroid to plant nuclear devices to destroy it and save the planet. Their mission a success, the astronauts return to Gamma 3, unaware that a mysterious luminous green substance has hitched a ride back on one of their space suits.
Once back at the station, the slime begins to absorb the energy of the space station's power source, quickly mutating into several hostile tentacled monstrosities which try to take over the habitat and kill all those on board. In an attempt to defend themselves, the crew use laser guns to try and destroy the creatures, but the Slimes simply soak up the laser energy, which in turn allows them to multiply further.
Realising that mankind's only hope is to destroy the Gamma 3, the remaining astronauts set one of the nuclear devices to detonate and escape the station on board a shuttle, destroying the Green Slimes and saving the human race.
