a slime that is in the process of consuming other creatures will typically begin by enveloping its target, using its translucent body to absorb the target and assimilate its properties. over time, as the slime continues to consume other creatures, it will evolve and change, potentially gaining new abilities and physical characteristics. this process can be continuous, with the slime always seeking out new creatures to consume and evolve further. the specifics of this process will depend on the individual slime and the creatures it consumes.
