Slime-Biots[CN 1][note 1] are a sapient genetometaphomorphic species who predate all other DNA based life forms in the universe.
Appearance[]
Slime-Biots resemble a small green glob with tendrils. They have little antennae sticking out of their heads and their eyes are small and straight.
Diet[]
Slime-Biots feed on DNA, though Skurd has been observed drinking smoothies.
History[]
The Slime-Biot species is the most important in all of creation as they will gather, carry, mix, and deposit DNA across a growing universe for eons.[2][1] Slime-Biots predate the universe and will seed life across new and growing universes throughout the cosmos.
In the billions of years, Slime-Biots like Skurd had forgotten the original life mission of their species. It is also assumed that they are all long-extinct as mentioned by Azmuth that he had never observed one before meeting up with Skurd.
Powers and Abilities[]
When attached to an alien species, Slime-Biots can use the alien's DNA to create extra limbs.
They sample and carry DNA to mix and deposit.
Slime-Biots are impossible to remove by force (except by ionic surgery), since they only leave their hosts if they choose to.
Slime-Biots have a high tolerance for neural shifts.[3][4]
They can see beyond the eyes of most three-dimensional beings in order to perceive the true visage of fifth-dimensional beings like the Contumelia.
Weakness[]
Being single-celled organisms, Slime-Biots cannot travel by teleportation without a host, as the process would tear them apart.
Slime-Biots are not immune to Toepick's face.[DJW 1]
Notable Slime-Biots[]
- Skurd
- Slime-Biots
Naming and Translations[]
| Language | Name | Origin |
|---|---|---|
| German | Schleimbiot | From Schleim, slime and Symbiont, symbiote or symbiotisch, symbiotic |
| Italian | Gelatinoide Slime-Biot (Malgax Attacks) |

| Spanish (HA) | Babobiote Babobionte (A New Dawn) |
From baba, slime and -biote (shortened form of symbiote); pronounced /'babobɪot/ (in Stuck on You and Let's Do the Time War Again) and /babo'bɪot/ (in the two mentioned episodes and Malgax Attacks). From baba, slime and -bionte (shortened form of simbionte), symbiote or symbiont; pronounced /babo'bɪonte/. |
| Spanish (Spain) | Mocobiota Mucobiota (The Secret of Dos Santos) |
From moco, mucus and biota, biota; pronounced /moco'bɪota/. Dub error; pronounced /mʊco'bɪota/. |
Etymology[]
Slime-Biot is a combination of slime and Symbiote.
Trivia[]
- Slime-Biots are thought to be extinct, as Azmuth had never observed one prior to Malgax Attacks. Upon seeing the Contumelia's Slime-Biots, Skurd revealed that he himself had thought he was alone in the universe.
- The Omnitrix does not contain, nor can it accept, Slime-Biot DNA because they do not have genetic material equivalent enough to DNA that can be stored.[DJW 2][DJW 3]
Notes[]
- ↑ The name of Skurd's species, the Slime-Biots, was first used in Stuck on You by Khyber. This information would be added to his page on November 4, 2014 by Dino-drones, spelling the name as "Slimebiote". A page for the species was created later the same day by Bookreader345, again using this spelling. The official spelling of "Slime-Biot" would later be revealed via the plot synopsis of Malgax Attacks,[CN 2] however, the assumed spelling persisted on this wiki until October 31, 2023. Cartoon Network, meanwhile, would continue to use the correct spelling,[CN 3] with the exception of a video uploaded to the Cartoon Network U.K. Youtube Channel titled "Ben 10 | Best Slimebiote Moments | Cartoon Network", thereby acknowledging the misnomer.[CN 4][BTP 1]
