I always liked bottling some green slime and hucking it at particularly dangerous enemies. Using Brown Mold on a Balor however is one of my favorite roguey moments. An archdemon, nearly a demon lord got covered in the mold in mere seconds, it crawled down this throat and began to choke on it.
I like the idea of green slime grenades or bombs. Maybe a catapult that launches dozens of small ceramic containers of green slime. Or some kind of pump device like a primitive flamethrower but with a stream of green slime. A vail of green slime on a crossbow bolt, lots of possibilities.

@@ernestlam5632 that makes no sense. How? DoT isn't regular damage. A sword strike is regular damage. An arrow hit is regular damage. Green Slime, like Melf's Acid Arrow, is not regular damage.
Remember the Green Slime in S2, White Plume Mountain? It's on the floor in a slightly flooded hallway, it will have eaten through your boots before you notice it's down there, and then, you can't burn it clean. "All PCs, roll a die. Odds, you only lose one foot."
It is a weird timeline to live in, where an anime was more respectful to the classic green slime than the current edition of the game it's from. Great video as always!

In the Top 5 Scariest 1e monsters, up there with Rot Grubs. "You die." "No Dex check???" "This is 1e, we don't do Dex checks. You die. Now get 3d6 and roll up another mediocre character."
The first encounter I ever had playing D&D was a green slime, my dm was pretty new to the game too and didn’t really know what he was doing, so it nearly tpk’d us (3 pcs). 😅
Green slime has a sort of a nervous system. One “cell” tells the one next to it, “we’re going this way” by moving that way. The whole mass of them moves in a sort of undulating fashion that way, moving so slowly that you can’t visibly notice it. It’s like a tiny little horde of goblins spreading out across everything, leaving a trail of dried corpses of its own across everything, waiting for moisture to bring them back to life. I thought that gnomish slimefighter was mad when he broke out a spyglass with the lenses turned the wrong way ‘round to show me the creatures that make up a green slime. There were hundreds of them, bunched together in the dried-up mass of the slime trail. He squeezed some of his sweat from a rag onto it and it came back to life. Green slime is an inevitability. As soon as it has moisture, it grows again, looking for food. If it gets into a forest, burn the forest to the soil. The shade from the canopy and the moisture will cause the slime to grow and expand until it consumes all of the forest. After the forest is consumed entirely, its spores will take to the wind and spread. It is an aggressive, invasive creature that never truly dies. It only goes dormant until it spreads across every inch of the world. It is rot and entropy, turned into thriving life. If the spores get into your lugs, it can grow. If you eat a little bit of it, it can grow in your mouth, throat and stomach. If it gets into a lake, it will grow and spread. If it gets into a river, it can grow down the entire run. Beware the Druids of the Circle of Rot & Ruin. They are known to spread green slime whenever possible. They’ll deceive you with their plant growth magics as they spread green slime throughout your fields’ irrigation. They’ll introduce it to your wells. They’ll spread it around your villages and in your homes. They’ll spread it into the sewers of your cities. They’ll turn kingdoms into festering bogs of green slime, if it doesn’t kill them first. The bag on my saddle marked with a circle around an eye contains a a gnomish firethrower that was converted to spread green slime. I couldn’t bring myself to destroy it, even though I should have. Its mere existence is a danger concealed. I killed the slime it contained, but it is still a danger. I mercilessly slew its creator, lest the knowledge of how to build it escape into the worlds beyond. His animated bones are with it in the bag, thanks to a necromancer ally. That keeps the knowledge of this evil from ever reaching the hells, assuming the binding spells on the ossuary hold. Overcooked whisky can trigger dormancy in green slime, but setting it alight kills it. You would be wise to heed those words if you ever come across it.
Back in the day, the party snuck into a kobold village to rescue a captive merchant. We found the merchant tied up in a storage shed. We freed him and helped ourselves to some loot which included a bottle with a strange green substance in it. The party then decided a distraction was in order to cover our escape. We decided to start a fire and take out a guard or two in the confusion before making a break for it. A player went first and they threw the bottle at a guard thinking it was acid. It was a green slime, of course. The slime immediately started eating the guard and then his friend who tried to help. We still set the fire and the slime was eating a whole hut the last we saw of it and the village was in a panic. I think the DM took a page from “The Blob” the fly. But the party’s utter indifference to what we turned loose still makes me laugh.
4:04 this is why those burbur creatures would be important in underground communities cause they eat the slime including the spores i imagine. I can see dwarves and other underdark humanoids paying good money for burburs if they don't resort to killing you for them

Ah, the Green Slime! The absolute bane of my very first D&D character from the basic set, a Thief. Every time one of these things showed up he was the one to get slimed.
I used to love to fill the syringe-fangs of iron cobras with this stuff. One bite and you better have someone with cure disease handy or the target was TOAST. Soggy, green toast.
