Victual slivers are bred to be the healers of the sliver hive.
The skin of the victual sliver is a transparent silvery hue, allowing creatures that watch the sliver to see its intestines and skeleton. This can be quite unsettling to someone who has never seen a victual sliver before.
Victual slivers are most often encountered in the sliver queen’s chamber, helping the newborn proto-slivers to feed.
Combat:
Victual Slivers usually hang back, letting their shared abilities power up their kin. If pressed the sliver will defend itself to the best of its ability.
Spell-like abilities: At will – bless, cure light wounds (DC 11), deathwatch, delay poison, and remove disease. These are as the spells cast by a 6th level cleric. The saves are Cha based.
Death Throes (Ex): When killed a victual sliver lets loose a burst of stored up positive energy creating an effect like that of a Mass cure light wounds, except that it affects all creatures within a 60’ radius-burst centered on the victual sliver, allows no save, and heals 1d8+25 hp.
Shared Ability (Ex): All slivers within 60’ of the victual sliver gain its death throes ability.

Hmmm. Death throes is like mass cure light wounds except for... almost everything.
For your snackrifice, may I present a litter of 8 immature golden gorgers? Aurumvorax meat is very rich, and a little heavy, but when harvested young is as tender as veal.

‘I just got an adition to my parameter defenses, my patron was kind enough to send me some new guard dogs. These blade slivers are highly agressive, and armed with additional weaponry compared to other slivers. I am certain that they will prevent further incursion into my laboratory by those pesky adventurers that the druids continue to send.’ – Lanariel Shadowwing, Research Notes.
Blade Slivers are named after the metallic blades they have at the end of their claws.
A Blade slivers look much like normal slivers, but have one additional claw. The sliver is the color of terracotta. It’s claws end in metallic blades. The Blade Sliver is usually around 7’2’’ in length.
Combat:
Blade Slivers are highly aggressive, and is usually employed as guard dogs or shock troops by their hives. They are relentless combatants that never shy away from combat, not leaving the fray before either their opponents or they themselves are dead. This leads them to sometimes be used as a delaying tactic until more powerful slivers can join combat.
Augmented Criticals (Ex): The natural weapons of the blade sliver scores a critical threat on a natural roll of 18-20, dealing triple damage on a successful critical.
Shared Traits (Ex): All slivers within 60’ of the blade sliver gain access to the blade slivers Augmented criticals special quality. This ability is not cumulative.
