The Slimilator - By James (Rousseau)

The Slimilator

Introduction
Experts estimate that we share the earth with close to 8.7 million species of animals. It may then be surprising that there are new animals still being discovered each and every day. Thanks to mankind’s ever-improving technology, scientists and researchers can now travel to our planet’s most mysterious and previously unseen lands. It is from these lands, that an incredible creature has just been found: The slimilator.

Appearance
Towering high above us, the slimilator is taller than any average ceiling. Impressively, it slithers along slowly because instead of feet it has a colossal tail-like blob as green and as slimy as lime jelly. Behind the neck, is a fin-like rudder. It runs through the slime to the ground to steer the giant creature. Protruding from the monster’s chin is a hideous finger that controls the rudder. Additionally, the finger is used for hearing. Using two supports to stop it from crashing into the blob, is the super-heavy, extraterrestrial head. Covering the head is peach skin like a human’s. Fascinatingly, the alien head is almost as long as the tail. Horrifyingly, the slimilator is always facing the way it has just been to see its prey die. On the front of its head, is a curved knob as soft as its tail, which is used to smell like a nose. Either side of the head supports are two deep dips like upturned valleys needed for hunting. On each side of the head, is one line of air-filled bumps. When the similator wants to, it can puff up the bumps to make it look bigger and scarier. As there aren’t any hairdressers for animals and slimilators don’t grow much hair, they can have up to twenty strands of brown hair coming out of the long head. Oddly, slimilators have piercing black eyes as dark as midnight. Strangely, these frightening creatures are always in a terrible teenage sulk!

How it hunts
Although the slimilator is slow, it can catch prey by flicking toxic bits of slime at its prey which turns them into toxic bits of slime. Its prey is primarily donriphants because the flower on its tail is particularly scrumptious. Another method to hunt is using the upturned valleys mentioned earlier. It makes the wind go faster to knock its prey down, then rolls over the donriphant with its tail which is its way of eating it. Shockingly, the toxic slime can break the donriphant up into small pieces. Surprisingly, the stands that hold the head up lower the head into the slime to eat the brown pieces of donriphant.
