History Main / BlobMonster

* ''Literature/IsekaiNiOtosaretaJoukaWaKihon'': Spirits are translucent amorphous blobs, with two beady eyes floating about within them. The main character likens them to amoeba.

** The [[http://powerpuffgirls.wikia.com/wiki/The_Amoeba_Boys_(1998_TV_series) Amoeba Boys]] are blue, squishy creatures with no visible legs.

* ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'': [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rocket.jpg Slimes]] are an [[MascotMook iconic]], [[TheGoomba early-game]] enemy in the series. Though there are tougher varieties, including those [[MetalSlime made of metal.]] And surprisingly, no {{Phlegmings}}.

** The shapeshifting liquid metal robot T-1000 in ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'' could mimic everything it touched, from a floor to a human being (complete with clothes), and in human shape, it was malleable enough to simply walk "through" the bars of a prison door by flowing around them. It could also utilise its abilities in interesting ways in combat, for example turning itself back to front when pinned to a wall, or melting its head around a thrown punch to grip the attacker's arm. He was defeated by John, Sarah, and T-800 by weakening him with liquid nitrogen and later throwing him into a pool of molten iron.
** The T-X from ''Film/Terminator3RiseOfTheMachines'' had a {{Super Tough|ness}} robotic skeleton with a Blobby cover; although she couldn't [[VoluntaryShapeshifting alter her shape]] as freely as the completely liquid metal T-1000, she could also mimic any human she touched.

[[AC:Examples by creator:]]

* In the short Creator/StephenKing' story "Grey Matter" (published in the collection ''Literature/NightShift''), a man slowly changes into a Blob Monster after drinking a can of contaminated beer.

* Creator/StephenKing's "The Raft" (published in the collection ''Literature/SkeletonCrew'') features an aquatic version that resembles an oil slick.

[[AC:Examples by creator:]]
* This also seems to be a bit of a favorite for Creator/OsamuTezuka.
** ''DNA Sights 999.9'' features a race of black liquid female creatures as well and even helps the protagonists escape in this one.
** The main female lead in ''One-Million Trip: Bander Book'' is also this while incognito.
** An alien couple seen in the ''Manga/AstroBoy'' manga.
** The Moopi in ''Manga/{{Phoenix}}''.

[[AC:Examples by work:]]

* ''VideoGame/AVeryLongRopeToTheTopOfTheSky'': A single sprite is given made into PaletteSwap-type UndergroundMonkey, and are [[CreaturesByManyOtherNames variously called]] Gels, Slimes, Sludges, Goops, and Mildews.

* Gloo from ''ComicBook/AstroCity'' is a liquid monster who resembles a giant misshapen blob of green liquid.

* Gelatinous green creatures known only as "blobs" menace our heroes in ''Literature/GalaxyOfFear: The Planet Plague''. Their sticky ooze lets them climb walls and hang from ceilings. They were actually created by the Imperial Biological Weapons Division to spread viruses. [[spoiler: And they [[WasOnceAMan used to be people]]; not content to just carry any old virus, they carry TheVirus.]]

* ''Literature/IHaveNoMouthAndIMustScream'' [[spoiler:ends in this fashion. After four of AM's five victims achieve death at last after 109 years of endless torture and immortality, AM snatches the final one, Ted, and genetically deforms his body into a fleshy blob so that it could never harm itself or be able to move freely ever again. He isn't even given [[TitleDrop a mouth to scream with]]. The bad ending of the video game adaptation actually lets you [[BodyHorror see what this looks like]], and it can happen to any of the five characters, each with their own reactions]].

Makes a good MonsterOfTheWeek. See also MegaMicrobes. The CuteSlimeMook is a specific cute, high surface tension variant found in [[EasternRPG Eastern RPGs]]. Compare MuckMonster who's generally murkier and oozes more and GreyGoo. Related to the RubberMan and TalkingPoo.

%%* ''Anime/BirdyTheMighty'': Bachilus.

%%* ''Literature/KyouranKazokuNikki'': Oasis.

** The Three Tails filler arc features an androgynous antagonist dressed in a skin tight 'slime suit' covered with a slippery residue, although he exhibits the normal abilities associated with normal slime creatures such as puddling up and stretching.
*** He later turns into quite the BodyHorror by [[FusionDance fusing with his dead comrades]], although they [[DeathByLookingUp later get crushed by the Three Tails]].

* A few of the Nightbreed appearances in ''Anime/{{Nightwalker}}'' qualify as this.

%%* The "cells" from ''Anime/PokemonLucarioAndTheMysteryOfMew''.
* The ''Anime/PrettyCure'' series features a surprising amount of these in both shapeless and shapely form, no less. ''[[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure HeartCatch]]'' for instance, features a large gel-like female creature made of water, although she mainly weeps. In the ''[[Anime/FreshPrettyCure Fresh]]'' season, however, one of the villains creates a shadowy facsimile of Setsuna who morphs her body into tentacles as well as melts into the shadows of her opponents to ambush them.

** Even moreso, while not seen in the anime, Melona in Rebellion is [[TookALevelInBadass turned up a few notches]] after absorbing an ancient demon, sporting a spiffy new outfit to go with it.
* [[spoiler:Oswald, Alicia's father]] in ''Literature/RentalMagica'', is an undead variation of this who could copy the forms of demons he's absorbed.

* In ''Manga/HoshinEngi'', the Four Demon Generals are actually [[TheDividual the four human forms]] of a single monstrous four-headed beast called "Chuu". In its true form, it looks like a massive, shapeless blob with four elongated "necks" but no discernible details. When they're nearly defeated, they degenerate in a more classical-looking giant slime with bobbing spherical eyes and corrosive powers, but they're finished off by Taikobo's RazorWind.
* ''[[Anime/SpaceBattleshipYamato Star Blazers / Space Battleship Yamato]]'' has the Protozoans of Pluto. They're harmless animals, purple blobs with two little eyespots, about the size of a tire and [[UglyCute actually kind of cute.]] Wildstar accidentally touches one and says it feels like sticky grape gelatin. The reason Captain Avatar refuses to use the WaveMotionGun against the Gamilon base on Pluto is that it would exterminate these harmless native creatures, and he figures the Star Force has no more right to do that than the Gamilons do to try to wipe out life on Earth.
* This also seems to be a bit of a favorite for Creator/OsamuTezuka.
** DNA Sights 999.9 features a race of black liquid female creatures as well and even helps the protagonists escape in this one.
** The main female lead in One-Million Trip: Bander Book is also this while incognito.
** An alien couple seen in the Manga/AstroBoy manga.
** The Moopi in ''Manga/{{Phoenix}}''.
* Rimuru Tempest from ''Literature/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime'' [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin reincarnated as a slime]] due to how he unknowingly worded his dying regret/wishes during the reincarnation process, resembling a blue blob with eye indents. Thanks to various unique abilities he gains as part of the package deal, however, he finds it's not so bad, [[CutenessProximity and his form makes him very huggable to beautiful women]]. He eventually gains a skill that lets him mimic other creatures and eventually reclaims a [[ShapeshifterDefaultForm human form]]...[[DudeLooksLikeALady based off a woman]].
* Anubis from ''Anime/YuGiOhTheMoviePyramidOfLight'' first manifests as a black slime both times when he's resurrected, though the second time is into a constantly evolving beast, and liquefies when exposed to the Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon's special ability. He also summons his Sphinx monsters through this as well.
** Also in ''Anime/YuGiOh'' is the Revival Jam monster. When hit by an attack, it splatters into little globs of goo and promptly reconstitutes itself. Marik uses this card as part of a combo centered around [[PhysicalGod Slifer the Sky Dragon]].

* Some versions of ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' villain [[Characters/BatmanClayface Clayface]] portray him like this.

* Franchise/DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse has at least two notable example. The first, in the "Doctor Who" comic story "The Iron Legion," has an ''Ectoslime'', an acidic and ''ugly'' blob monster. When faced against one, the Doctor remembers that its species has an excellent sense of humor, and sends it off by ''telling a joke.'' The Eighth Doctor later encountered one in the person of [[MadScientist Donald]] [[ProfessorGuineaPig Eustace Stark]], who experimented on himself with [[Recap/DoctorWhoTVMTheTVMovie morphant DNA]].

* These showed up in Creator/ECComics' horror titles a few times. Examples include "Strictly From Hunger", where out-of-control cancer cells mutate into a ravenous blob monster, and "Ooze in the Cellar?" where the trash in a miser's cellar combines with his wife's remains, creating a living ooze that swallows everything in the house. "Terror in the Swamp" and "The Meddlers!" both have this as the result of a discarded scientific experiment in CreatingLife.
** As well as the Gookum from Mad #2, which causes the Martian storyteller to flee to Earth. He is horrified to see someone eating Jello, which they call "dormant Gookum"!
* Comicbook/{{Empowered}}'s teammate Protean. Not a villain, but certainly a fratboyish {{Jerkass}}. [[spoiler:He owes his power to an alien sexually-transmitted disease.]]
* Minor Comicbook/FantasticFour enemy Dreadface is a blob monster that envelops people and takes them over.
* ''{{ComicBook/Gen13}}'':
** Caitlin Fairchild became this following [[spoiler: her death and rebirth]], displaying a nifty teleportation ability with it as well, though it remains to be seen whether or not she retained these powers following the DC 2011 reboot when the series was merged with DC.
** Gwendolyn at some point is transformed into the chrome variety.
* ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'': The [[Characters/GLSinestroCorps Sinestro Corpsman Slushh]] is a blob monster that is made up of a powerful acid contained by a transparent membrane. One of his methods of attack is to grab an enemy and pull them inside of him where they dissolve quickly. He's done this lots of times before judging by the number of bones floating about inside him.

* ''Franchise/SpiderMan'':
** Mentioned twice more on this page, villain Sandman. Another, less featured villain is Hydro-Man, who -- you guessed it -- [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin is living water]]. Both of them can make themselves look perfectly human. On one occasion, the two accidentally combined into a mud monster, much to the later embarrassment of the former. Hydro-Man, probably due to a lack of imagination, is on the B-List ''of'' the B-List, but Sandman is still active and considered a formidable threat today.

* The ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' foe Plasmus (one of the Brotherhood of Evil) is a humanoid blob of acidic protoplasm.

* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'' [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Vol 1]]: ComicBook/WonderGirl's aptly named enemy The Glop is an alien who is essentially a living bit of very mobile orange slime.
* The ''Comicbook/XMen'' villain The Blob, who was a morbidly obese mutant who couldn't be hurt by anything (and in some continuities, could "suck up" attacks into his folds of flesh). Other, more appropriate examples include a student who was essentially a walking pile of biogenic paraffin wax with a brain, and a sentient puddle in a body suit.

* ''FanFic/ImperfectMetamorphosis'': A good chunk of the story revolves around the local Blob Monster, also known as [[spoiler:Rin Satsuki]].

* ''Fanfic/OlivesLastPartner'' has regular blobs that are a nuisance to agents just as they are in canon. However, the story introduces Blobisites, cousins of blobs who specifically attack boiler systems and clog them up while also sucking the warmth out of the pipes in the system. [[PunnyName Per their name,]] they're also parasitic, and they absolutely don't hesitate to attack agents if they deem them a threat.

* ''Fanfic/VowOfNudity'': The featured monster species in the appropriately-named story ''The Isle of Slimes''.

%%* A favorite motif of Creator/HayaoMiyazaki and Creator/StudioGhibli films:
%%** ''Anime/PomPoko'': An [[http://www.obakemono.com/obake/umibozu/ Umibozu]] appears briefly.
%%** ''Anime/PrincessMononoke'': The cursed gods (sort of) and [[spoiler: the decapitated Deer/Forest spirit]].
%%** ''Anime/SpiritedAway'': No Face and the Stink Spirit ([[spoiler: actually a river god suffering from pollution]]).
%%** ''Anime/HowlsMovingCastle'': The Witch of the Waste's familiars.
%%** ''Anime/TalesFromEarthsea'': A hallucination (of [[MythologyGag the Shadow]]) and [[spoiler: Lord Cob]].
%%** ''Anime/PonyoOnTheCliffByTheSea'': Fujimoto's familiars.

* ''WesternAnimation/TreasurePlanet'': Morph, Silver's PirateParrot equivalent, is a pink, floating, shapeshifting, [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter ridiculously cute]] blob.

* ''Film/TheBlob1958'', a 1950s BMovie, is the {{Trope Maker|s}}. As well as the BloodierAndGorier 1980s remake ''Film/TheBlob1988''. In the original, it was basically a giant space amoeba that fell down on Earth. In the remake, [[spoiler:it was man-made]].

* ''The Raft'' of ''Film/Creepshow2'' is about a group of college students trapped on a raft while an oil-like blob monster that can only drift on the surface of the water tries to engulf and digest them. [[spoiler:[[OhCrap They find out far too late that it can leave the water's surface just fine]].]]

* ''Film/ParasiteEve'': The movie adaptation of the novel featured this in slime girl form in a particularly surreal scene of the Mitochondria Eve taking form while she danced and promptly had sex with the bystander witnessing it.

* ''Film/TheUnknownTerror'' features a flesh-devouring fungus that acts like this. Why? Because it's portrayed by [[SpecialEffectFailure SOAP SUDS]].

%% Despite being a wall of text, this example never explains that the creatures are blobs. Please rewrite it with context and remove the fat. * ''Literature/AgentToTheStars'': The [[StarfishAliens Yherjak]]. Each one of them is actually a sentient colony organism, capable of altering its overall shape. They normally communicate via smells but are able to generate sound (presumably by vibrating their gelatinous bodies) to communicate with humans (even the name Yherjak is not what they call themselves, since it's hard to turn a smell into words). They are actually quite friendly, but, after arriving into Earth's orbit on their STL asteroid ship, they [[AliensStealCable received our transmissions]] and learned from our entertainment media that humans would, most likely, perceive them as ugly and hostile. So, instead of the typical TakeMeToYourLeader approach, they call up (as in, on his cell phone) the head of an LA talent agency and ask him to find a competent agent to give the Yherjak a positive public image before revealing themselves to humanity. [[spoiler:They can also engage in MindControl via tiny tendrils reaching into brains, but they only use it on animals. They can also absorb memories and even temporarily "possess" people, although it's a ''big'' taboo among them.]] It's also stated that, since they reproduce via a method similar to mitosis, all Yherjak are genetically indistinguishable (indeed, the YouALLLookFamiliar makes perfect sense with them from a human viewpoint and is not simple racism). The only thing distinguishing one Yherjak from another is its personality (or soul, as they refer to it). Each Yherjak's personality is an amalgamation of the parent's personality/memories and those of one or more other Yherjak, who "meld" with the parent for the purpose of conception. The process of memory/trait selection is even described in a similar manner to how a human offspring's DNA is formed from that of his or her parents (e.g. dominant traits come through, recessive traits don't). The parent then splits into two identical-looking Yherjak, one of which has all its memories and the other is the offspring. During the "melding" process, all parties must drop their mental defenses in order for it to work, and some nefarious individuals can use the moment to overwrite the others' minds with their own. This is called "[[DeathOfPersonality soul death]]" and is the most heinous crime the Yherjak can think of (equivalent to the worst kind of murder or, as one of them puts it, equal to about "five of the Ten Commandments").
* ''Literature/AlienInASmallTown'': The Jan are rocky and solid [[SiliconBasedLife silicon-based life forms.]] "Paul," a Jan, describes squishy humans as "blob monsters", and claims to have initially found us [[HumansAreUgly disgusting to look at.]]

* ''Literature/KingdomOnFire'': One of [[EldritchAbomination the Ancients]] is Molochoron, "The Pale Destroyer". It's a gigantic blob with hair sticking out of it. He makes its first actual appearance in ''Literature/ASorrowFierceAndFalling''.
* ''Literature/SwordOfTheSpirits'': The Bayemot, from ''Beyond the Burning Lands,'' the second book in the trilogy, are giant masses of living, translucent slime.
--> I looked over the ruins to the next rise of ground, and saw the Bayemot. Except in size it was something like the bubbles of jelly that make up frog spawn. But it was almost as high as three other men, one above the other, and being flattened from a true sphere by the earth's pull was even greater in breadth. It was motionless but quivered, although the wind had dropped, and though it was nearly transparent there were darker shapes within.
%%* ''Literature/BrideOfTheSlimeMonster'': The titular creature is eventually revealed to be [[spoiler:a formerly-missing chimp sidekick in a monster suit]].%%And is an example why?

* ''Literature/IHaveNoMouthAndIMustScream'' [[spoiler: ends in this fashion. After four of AM's five victims achieve death at last after 109 years of endless torture and immortality, AM snatches the final one, Ted, and genetically deforms his body into a fleshy blob so that it could never harm itself or be able to move freely ever again. He isn't even given [[TitleDrop a mouth to scream with]]. The bad ending of the video game adaptation actually lets you [[BodyHorror see what this looks like]], and it can happen to any of the five characters, each with their own reactions]].

* ''Literature/TheImmortals'': The "Skinners" in the last book are nightmarish blobby monsters made of Chaos that are [[ImmuneToBullets Immune to Arrows]], only slightly less immune to a lot of magic and suck the life out of anything they touch. The Darklings in the same book, created by Orzone to be his spies, are likewise small, shadowy blob creatures. However, they're noncombatants and [[spoiler: gain sentience and independence and do a HeelFaceTurn]].

* ''Literature/JediAcademyTrilogy'': A humorous variant. The equivalent of horse races on the planet Umgul are run using specially-bred racing blobs compared to living lumps of phlegm in appearance. The race itself consists of a "blobstacle course" where the racers most slide down greased chutes, squeeze themselves through mesh gratings and swing between hanging rings while avoiding dangers such as patches of desiccant or accidentally colliding and melding together.
* ''Literature/SpheroidEchoes'': the story of this novella focuses on a living shroud that behaves and displays blob-like capabilities. Sometime later [[spoiler:the creature itself claims to be a kind of BioArmor or TheSymbiote]].
* Creator/StephenKing:
** In the short story "Grey Matter" (published in the collection ''Literature/NightShift''), a man slowly changes into a Blob Monster after drinking a can of contaminated beer.
** "The Raft" (published in the collection ''Literature/SkeletonCrew'') features an aquatic version that resembles an oil slick.
* In Creator/LarryNiven's ''Literature/KnownSpace'', life-forms from icy worlds that use Helium II biochemistry tend to evolve into these.

* ''Literature/QuantumDevilSagaAvatarTuner'': Harley Q's Atma form is that of a gigantic [[NighInvulnerability Nigh-Invulnerable]] blob monster capable of absorbing dead matter around him. [[spoiler: Said transformation is eventually upgraded to a full blown EldritchAbomination that is not even sentient any more and solely driven by its HorrorHunger]].

* ''Literature/Slime1988'' by William Essex (not to be confused with Joseph Payne Brennan's 1953 [[Literature/Slime1953 short story]] of the same name). The living toxic waste of the title is more of a MuckMonster than an actual blob, but it's close enough. Someone even jokingly name-drops ''Film/{{The Blob|1958}}'' at one point when TheSheriff is trying to warn everyone.
* "Literature/Slime1953" by Joseph Payne Brennan, featured in the March 1953 issue of ''Magazine/WeirdTales'', is tale of an ancient life form, a black mantle of amorphous ooze -- that could form retractable tentacles at will -- heaved from the bottom of the sea onto land. It lived only to eat organic matter, and the more it ate, the hungrier it got.

* ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'': Odo, in his natural state. And his species, the Founders, in their natural state -- when they are healthy. (His usual form resembles a Bajoran, because that is the species that found and raised him.)
** Also, a Founder can take a lot of energy -- one shot from Klingon blaster can kill a human (or Klingon) -- but hundreds of them were needed to bring down the Founder [[spoiler:impersonating General Martok]].
** And in one episode, Odo is subject to some substance which turns him into literal Blob Monster (i.e. with similar personality).
** Odo is actually not as stable with his abilities as the average Founder, or as good at shapeshifting, due to spending most of his life separate from them. He cannot hold a solid form for more than 16 hours or so, and has difficulty mimicking specific individuals.

** The T-1001's default form is shown in a later episode taking place during the war where it is depicted as a vaguely humanoid-looking thing with no face or defining features. [[spoiler: It later turned out to be the same T-1001 impersonating Catherine.]]

* In ''[[VideoGame/NintendoWars Advance Wars: Dual Strike]]'', Ooziums are giant slimes. They're immune to indirect attacks, and instantly kill any unit they attack, simply by moving onto their space and absorbing. The upshot is that they can only move one space a turn, allowing you to surround and destroy them fairly easily; their special attack means they can't counterattack. If you fail to kill it, however, you're going to lose a unit.

[[folder:Web Comics]]

* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': Peter finds a genie and is given 3 wishes. His second is to have his own theme music, which plays constantly and can't be turned off. This leads to his being threatened with having every bone in his body broken, so Peter uses wish #3 to have no bones. He even refers to himself afterwards as an amorphous blob (comic).
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' :

* ''WesternAnimation/GodzillaTheSeries'': The Nanotech Creature and the DNA Mimic. The former is a mass of micro-organisms controlled by {{Nanomachine}}s designed to eat trash but end up eating everything it can find, and the latter is a gray mass of goo completely made of blank [=DNA=] with the ability to shapeshift into any creature it comes in contact with.

* ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuestTheRealAdventures'' features a shapeshifting blob-like bio computer in the episode "DNA Doomsday" who was given a test mission to launch a group of Nuclear Missiles, and failed to realize it was a simulation. For added creepiness, it could change parts of its body into people it had come into contact with. For maximum grossness, they added little details such as forming a person's head to imitate their voice-print, along with a throat and lungs to get the voice right.

** [[spoiler:Emperor Belos's curse acts like this -- he has to actively put in effort to maintain his human shape, and if he loses control, he turns into a massive hulking beast made of dark green, necrotic-looking sludge. "King's Tide" really shows his sludge form in action, as he uses his shapeshifting abilities both to conjure up weapons, and to [[ShapeshifterGuiltTrip emotionally manipulate Hunter]]. Unfortunately for him, the fact that he's semi-liquid allows the Collector to flick him into a wall at such high speeds that he just splatters like a water balloon.]]

* ''Franchise/ThePowerpuffGirls'':
** The girls encounter a blob monster who is rampaging through the town but it turns out the creature is just a KindheartedCatLover looking for his pet. He leaves after the girls find his cat.

* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'': "[[OriginsEpisode The Birth of Evil]]" revealed that many eons ago, [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils Aku]] was originally part of a [[EldritchAbomination gigantic, amorphous black blob from outer space]], which attempted to devour everything in the universe. The gods destroyed the giant blob, however a small fragment was cut off and drifted away to Earth. The blob fragment [[PhlebotinumKilledTheDinosaurs caused the extinction of the dinosaurs]], and proceeded to eat many more unlucky creatures for the next 65 million years, until it eventually evolved into a self-aware being and named itself Aku. Aku can shapeshift and change his mass like a blob monster, but he's also essentially a [[WhenTreesAttack giant evil tree]]. His standard form is extremely tall, with "branches" forming his arms and horns, and his movements are rather stiff and accompanied by the sound of wood cracking.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': Homer Simpson transforms into one of these in ''[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS18E4TreehouseOfHorrorXVII Treehouse of Horror XVII]]", after eating some mysterious space goo.

* ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock'' featured a massive acidic blob monster with CombatTentacles in one episode, which was actually revealed to be a massive mass of microbes that operated as a HiveMind after being exposed to the Big Bang that gave the meta-humans their powers. There was also the aquatic Aquamaria, though [[SlimeGirl she was much more human in appearance]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' features two of these: Plasmus, who is just a normal guy that becomes a mindless, muck-consuming monster [[InvoluntaryShapeshifter whenever he's awake]], and the {{implacable|Man}} Madame Rouge.

* ''The Raft'' of ''Film/Creepshow2'' is about a group of college students trapped on a raft while an oil-like blob monster that can only drift on the surface of the water tries to engulf and digest them. [[spoiler:[[OhCrap They find out far too late it can leave the water's surface just fine.]]

* ''Film/{{Evolution|2001}}'': The final stage of the aliens' evolution is a gargantuan critter that looks a bit like a starfish but is described by the science-geek characters as a "giant amoeba".

* ''Film/ItCameFromOuterSpace'' (1953): The aliens are aware that they're repellent to humans in their natural state as huge, one-eyed blob creatures covered in wispy fronds, so they try to repair their spaceship covertly. Unfortunately their actions in doing so (taking hostages and [[VoluntaryShapeshifting copying their bodies]], stealing equipment) are regarded as hostile.

* ''VideoGame/SpaceQuestIVRogerWilcoAndTheTimeRippers'': Early on, you encounter a green slime in a sewer. If it touches you, it will attack you and [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath strip the flesh from your bones]].
* In ''VideoGame/SpaceQuestVTheNextMutation'', after you've ejected a ''massive'' amount of mutagenic slime out into space, [[spoiler:Captain Quirk]] jettisons out into it and is absorbed into it, creating a gigantic aggressive blob monster. [[spoiler:You kill it once and for all by sucking the entire blob into the RRS and then setting the Eureka to SelfDestruct]].

* ''Unreal''

** Bartholemew, Kayla's pet, is a shapeshifting green blob with an eye.

%%* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'': Yellow Temperance and Notorious B.I.G.

* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': Some Pokémon are blob-like in shape; examples include the Grimer family and Ditto, the latter of which is famously capable of [[GRatedSex breeding]] with [[AnythingThatMoves anything]].

** ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'': Gooigi in the ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion1'' remake and ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion3'' was created by [[MadScientist Professor E. Gadd]] after an accident involving ectoplasm and coffee. While vulnerable to water and fire, he's immune to sharp objects and can squeeze through grates and pipes that Luigi cannot.

Their appearance will also vary depending on the work, as well as whether they are supposed to be cute or disgusting. Eastern created media tends to depict them [[CuteSlimeMook as cute gum-drop like blobs with bright colors]] and small BlackBeadEyes when cute, and when evil, have [[GoodColorsEvilColors dark or harsh colors]] and {{jagged mouth}}s. Western created works also tend to give them water droplet like bodies when cute, but instead give them large, bulging eyeballs that loosely float in their mass for the same effect; and when evil, they tend to have runnier bodies & usually have other villainous features, such as teeth, or being hazardous to the touch.

In video games, these will sometimes be TheGoomba, although sometimes some [[UndergroundMonkey palette-swapped]] varieties are [[MetalSlime harder]]. Whether they [[SuperNotDrowningSkills are resistant to drowning]] or [[SuperDrowningSkills weak to it]] will also vary, leaning towards the latter if it's the player-controlled character. Sometimes, they can [[AsteroidsMonster split into smaller ones when killed]].

* [[http://www.comicvine.com/thrakkorzog/29-49166/ Thrakkazorg]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheTick'' animated series. Who also made a [[CloningBlues clone]] of the hero who was part this.

** In the short-lived official ''AD&D'' version of the Franchise/CthulhuMythos (Cthulhu and his buddies got a chapter in the first edition of ''Deities & Demigods'', but later editions removed it after a copyright dispute with another publisher), Shub-Niggurath is depicted as a noxious lake of protoplasm in a cavern beneath a mountain, constantly generating various monsters out of its own mass and then re-consuming any that foolishly stumble too close to it again. It's a niftily creepy image, but it seems to be unique to this version of the Mythos.

* ''WebOriginal/{{Mortasheen}}'':

* ''Caltiki: The Immortal Monster'' is such a beast -- and intensely radioactive.

* ''The Unknown Terror'' features a flesh-devouring fungus that acts like this. Why? Because it's portrayed by [[SpecialEffectFailure SOAP SUDS]].

* In ''Manga/SoulHunter'', the Four Demon Generals are actually [[TheDividual the four human forms]] of a single monstrous four-headed beast called "Chuu". In its true form, it looks like a massive, shapeless blob with four elongated "necks" but no discernible details. When they're nearly defeated, they degenerate in a more classical-looking giant slime with bobbing spherical eyes and corrosive powers, but they're finished off by Taikoubou's RazorWind.

When the monster absorbs things and suspends them in it's body, see GelatinousEncasement.

When they're nearly defeated, they degenerate in a more classical-looking giant slime with bobbing spherical eyes and corrosive powers, but they're finished off by Taikoubou's RazorWind.

* ''Film/OilyManiac'' has it's titular monster being based on the ''orang minyak'', a Malaysian-originated supernatural entity born of oil. In the film, the monster has been re-imagined as a living blob of crude oil who can alternate between humanoid and puddle form, and it's as disgusting as it sounds.

* ''VideoGame/{{Amorphous}}'': You fight ''absolutely nothing'' EXCEPT for these. Unfortunately, they come in many varieties -- one explodes into deadly acid [[TakingYouWithMe on death]], another tries to ''rip your heart out'', yet another [[KillItWithFire explodes into a fiery explosion]] while it's counterpart [[KillItWithIce explodes in a freezing blast]], a metal version that attacks with CombatTentacles (and is [[TacticalSuicideBoss only vulnerable when doing so]]!), etc. Some species of blob can combine to become stronger blobs! The simple Green Blob, TheGoomba of the game, can meld together with 3 other Green Blobs to form the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Void Eater]], a [[GravityMaster gravity-controlling]] BossInMookClothing.

* ''VideoGame/BoundByBlades'': Skullako is a giant blob-thing with a SkullForAHead. Meanwhile it's arms are protruding bones.

* ''VideoGame/DistortedTravesty 3'' has slimes both in it's Zelda segment, and it's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRG7OsR8iuc RPG segment.]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Hangzo}}'' have various blob-like enemies in the second level, an AbsurdlySpaciousSewer. From animated sewer grime assuming an humanoid form to gigantic amoeba creatures, as well as a KingMook giant blob-thing as it's boss.

** ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'' introduces Goomy, which looks like a slimy ball but is a [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Dragon-type]]. It then evolves into the slug-like dragon Sliggoo and finally Goodra, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a large dragon made of goo]]. Unlike most examples, these have excellent special defense but low physical defence (for a [[InfinityMinusOneSword pseudo-legendary]], anyway). It's [[VideoGame/PokemonLegendsArceus Hisuian variant]] trades speed for a large increase in physical defense, and adds Steel-type to it.

* ''Manga/GalaxyExpress999'' has at least THREE instances of these; a space slime who broke away from her home planet, a trio of blob-like creatures with the pink female one showing the ability to shapeshift and a swarm that attacks the heroes in the movie.

* ''Anime/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind'': The manga version features a giant, genetically engineered slime mold. The God Warrior also begins to resemble one in both versions as its overuse of its nuclear-powered weapons eventually causes its organic parts to [[BodyHorror melt]].
