* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': Abomination magic is this: witches with this skill use/conjure purple goo that can form mindless monsters (known as abominations), be used to create numerous tools/weapons, and be blasted at opponents. [[Characters/TheOwlHouseAmityBlight Amity Blight]], Luz's rival turned friend [[spoiler:turned girlfriend]], is highly skilled in this form of magic.

While traditionally the slime is green, [[TechnicolorToxin the options are limitless here]]. At its most flexible, the chemical properties of the goo can be freely modified by the user. Expect a heavy dose of ChemistryCanDoAnything. It could be made [[SlipperySkid slippery]], [[MuckingInTheMud sticky]], [[AcidAttack corrosive]], [[AHandfulForAnEye blinding]], [[InconvenientItch itchy]], [[BioluminescenceIsCool glowy]], [[WeaponizedStench stinky]], [[GelatinousTrampoline bouncy]], [[VariableLengthChain stretchy]], possibly even [[MadeOfExplodium explosive]] or [[OminousObsidianOoze poisonous]]. Watch out if the goo is given quick-dry properties, as it tends to become [[WetCementGag impossibly durable once dried]]. Whether goo is treated as solid or liquid can depend on the needs of the plot, since it's useful to take properties from both at times. The goo might even explicitly behave in a non-newtonian fashion, and harden on impact.

This is a staple ability of "[[RevoltingRescue gross]]" or "[[MalfunctionMalady sick]]" characters and animals, as an exaggeration on how mucus and slime work. It's also fairly popular with [[{{Ectoplasm}} ghosts]] and [[EcocidalAntagonist pollution based antagonists]], and can be integrated into the arsenal of any would-be ScienceHero.

Under PersonalityPowers these supers are usually slobs or delinquents. It is essentially inevitable that ''someone'' will be left CoveredInGunge while this guy's around. Expect them to be mortal enemies with any local NeatFreak who don't appreciate their FilthyFun.

For other liquid superpowers, see MakingASplash, BloodyMurder and MagmaMan. Also has some overlap with RubberMan, PoisonousPerson, Plaguemaster, and AcidAttack.

* ''{{ComicBook/Batgirl2009}}'': After Stephanie earned Barbara's blessing to start serving as the new Batgirl, she got access to a number of experimental pieces of Waynetech. Her favorite of them in later issues were, "gooperangs", which were batarangs that exploaded into a coat of green gel that immobilized her opponents.

** In the World of Darkness, Cerberus will vomit a puddle of thick goo onto one part of the battlefield. Anyone who steps in it will be quickly drawn to the center of the goo to be instantly killed by Cerberus soon afterward. But if you are shrunken by the gastric juice orbs before hand, you'll instead be swallowed and enter his stomach, allowing the swallowed to temporarily incapacitate him by ripping up his insides.
** Several bosses in the Shadows of Mhach raid series have an attack that coats everyone affected in an extremely thick mucus. This stops anyone caught by it from moving until someone runs between the tethers created between the victims to break the bindings.

* In the ''Franchise/MegaMan'' franchise, there's the Devil line. A group of robots notable for throwing pieces of their bodies around and reconstruct themselves elsewhere. The ones that really follow this trope better, though, are the Green Devil of ''VideoGame/MegaMan8'', the Twin Devil of ''VideoGame/MegaMan9'' and the Rainbow Devil of ''VideoGame/MegaManZero''.

* In ''Webcomic/JupiterMen'', Quintin's primary superpower is the ability to [[ElementalShapeshifter turn parts of his body]] into a highly elastic slime. The slime's other properties depend on his intent. It can be sticky for entangling foes, performing a BuildingSwing, or jamming guns. He can also make it slippery enough for him to [[SuperSliding skate across the ground on at high speeds]]. He later figures out how to consciously turn his slime acidic, allowing it to burn or even melt objects.|

* ''WebAnimation/TheOdd1sOut'': In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BONmlqz59RM Garfild Comic Explained]]", one of the re-drawings of James's childhood drawing of a ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' comic misinterprets the [[GiantFood giant pea]] as green slime that Garfield is creating with his "special power".

* Several animals are famous for producing copious amounts of goo, but the hagfish stands out. It can rapidly expel a binding agent from its skin to create up to 24 liters of slime (thats ''400 times its own volume'') at will. This slime is used to clog up and choke out the gills of predators attempting to eat them.

While traditionally the slime is green, [[TechnicolorToxin the options are limitless here]]. At its most flexible, the chemical properties of the goo can be freely modified by the user. Expect a heavy dose of ChemistryCanDoAnything. It could be made [[SlipperySkid slippery]], [[MuckingInTheMud sticky]], [[AcidAttack corrosive]], [[AHandfulForAnEye blinding]], [[InconvenientItch itchy]], [[BioluminescenceIsCool glowy]], [[WeaponizedStench stinky]], [[GelatinousTrampoline bouncy]], [[VariableLengthChain stretchy]], possibly even [[MadeOfExplodium explosive]] or [[OminousObsidianOoze poisonous]]. Watch out if the goo is given quick-dry properties, as it tends to become [[WetCementGag impossibly durable once dried]]. Whether goo is treated as solid or liquid can depend on the needs of the plot, since it's useful to take properties from both at times. The goo might even explicitly behave non-newtonian, and harden on impact.

Alternatively, this ability could be limited to [[SingleSubstanceManipulation a single real gooey substance]]. Common choices include: [[CoveredInMud mud]], [[OilSlick oil]], honey, wax, and gum. When the substance is paint or ink, this can overlap with ArtAttacker.
