Limax[pop-up 1][2][CN 1] (also known as Limaxes[1] in the plural form) are aliens that tried to infiltrate Vera Tennyson's retirement community.
Appearance[]
Limax are semi-humanoid blobs primarily brown or green in color, with dirty pink organs. They possess multiple eyes and lack a definite appearance, often exhibiting extra arms, fin-like protrusions, or misshapen body parts.
Diet[]
Limax like eating humans to survive, preferring elderly humans, and saying children are too chewy and need to age more to become "nice and tender."
Powers and Abilities[]
Limax are composed out of cytoplasm, making them highly flexible, elastic and immune to blunt force. They can absorb hits and reform from being crushed instantly, as well as stretch their appendages to great lengths to reach higher places and pass over the obstacles. Moreover, they have malleable anatomy and can shift their bodies to make their face appear at the back of their head without turning over their body, strangle their victims by wrapping all over their faces, dodge attacks by separating themselves in the middle, as well as merge with their kind to create larger version of them or fire sections of their biomass to divide themselves into more specimens.
Like Lenopans, Limax can mimic shape, texture, clothing and voice of creatures relative to them in size. They retain their shapeshifting abilities in human forms and can stretch their limbs, perform variety of acrobatics, selectively reveal their true selves, scale walls and jump at great heights.
Their strength surpasses Humans, allowing them to easily overpower their victims, move large trash containers, throw heavy vehicles at medium distances and hurt Vulpimancers with their blows at human size. Thanks to their ability to absorb heat from fire, Limax can also increase their biomass and strength, becoming powerful enough to virtually ignore physical hits and effortlessly subdue a Pyronite.
Weaknesses[]
Water has acidic effect on Limax, dissolving their biomass in direct contact. Limax were shown to resist and recover from small quantities, however it can be lethal to them if their entire body is submerged in it at once. Because of this, Limax tend to panic at the sight of water, which may blow their disguise.
