[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5763265, member: 57383"] That's too light going by the weight of the SRD Large Oozes (15,000 lbs for Gelatinous Cube, 5,600 lbs for Ochre Jelly). The Ochre Jelly seems the best match, suggesting the Slug should weigh around 5000-6000 pounds. The Slug is a condensed Swarm, and according to the SRD Tiny nonflying Swarms contain 300 individuals. If it weighs 6000 lbs each amoeboid would weigh about 20 pounds. Alternatively, a Large creature normally weighs about 512 times as much as a Large creature going by the standard size rules. If we make the amoeboid weigh 10-15 pounds then the Slug should weigh about 5000-7500 pounds ,or 3000-4500 if we use the standard "300 creatures per swarm rule". So, like this: Amoeboid slime molds normally spread their amorphous bodies to a diameter of about 2 feet with a thickness less than an inch, but can compress themselves into a clump up to 3 inches thick. A typical specimen weighs 10 to 15 pounds. A slime mold slug is usually about 20 feet long, 5 to 10 feet wide and 1 or 2 feet thick. It can spread its slimy gestalt body into a 20 diameter disc up to a foot thick, or condense into a lump 10 feet across and up to 4 feet tall. A typical specimen weighs 5000 to 7500 pounds. [/QUOTE]
