Conta

'Contagious'

Any pronouns, he/him typically.
A slime creature that lives in the sewers. Nearby children visit him on dares.
Took his name from one of the common whispers, questions, and insults he has recieved.

Soft-spoken and shy, does not blink often unless nervous, gets cold easily.
Regenerates easily and can change his shape. Smells weird due to multiple fluids that make up their body.
Doesn't understand humans very well, nor what their species is, but somewhat friendly.
Likes 'juicy' foods as hard substances or meats do not break down easily.

Main forms:

Small - chibi-like, has more animal features (bit of a muzzle, 'ears' move more)
Big - human-like, mimics more human features (flatter face, sometimes thinner 'hair strands', may sneak into towns easier for food)
Animal - Deer-like, mimics forest spirits to try to get offerings. The 'tendrils' sprout all over the body freely.

REFERENCE NOTES // READ IF YOU DRAW HIM:
- Don't add too much expression to his face, especially to his mouth. He's not human!
- Length of hair, 'ears', tongue, and tail do not matter, nor does the exact shape.
- His height depends on how much he's eaten/drank, which usually isn't much to conserve energy. Keep him small.
- The amount of stripes DOES NOT MATTER, as long as there is a vague gradient in his goop from light to dark.
- Eyelashes can be dark brown or black, but always sort of 'gooped' together into points. They are NOT actually hair strands, more of a mimicry of eyelashes.
