![]() ![]() Being an amalgamation of all manner of slimes, any variety of slime can be spawned from it, and these slimes act in the interest of the original body. One of the most dangerous aspects of a Slime Dragon is it's ability to produce other slimes as it fights. Eventually it gains enough nutrients to reproduce, causing the Slime Dragon to produce a Slime Dragon Wyrmling from itself, which promptly leaves to find it's own home away from it's parent. Often would-be adventurers arrive to claim a fabled Dragons Hoard, only to be consumed by the Slime Dragon. Splitting BehemothsĪs Slime Dragons grow, they seek food to feed themselves. The Slime Dragon isn't very intelligent, because it's a slime, but it does it's best to imitate it's fallen idol, collecting a hoard, fending off natural predators of dragons, and slaying would-be adventurers. Overcome with such might, the slimes unconsciously seek to imitate it, using the bones to suppport them and the muscle to teach them how to move. This typically happens after Adventurers have slain the creature to claim it's hoard. Imitation of GreatnessĪ Slime Dragon is created when slimes consume the corpse of a Dragon. ![]() Living for millenia, they grow in power as they become more wise, their hoards increasing and many adventurers falling to their flamey breath. Note that this meme should not be confused with the story of The Dread Gazebo which also features D&D newbies in a particular situation.There exists a creature of lore, said to be so powerful that they can raze entire towns, hoard kingdoms worth of gold. Guild Wars also references the wizard character, "Galstaff, Sorcerer of Light". A similarly named quest exists in Guild Wars, as well as a "+9 knife of ogre-slaying", a weapon named in the skit. The game World of Warcraft has a quest based on this phrase, I Shoot Magic Into the Darkness. Perhaps the most renown one is the line "I'm attacking the darkness!", said after the player acting as the wizards casts the Magic Missile spell for no other reason. The skit itself has produced a number of lines that have become popular on their own. The animated Dungeons and Dragons cartoon ( so meta!) Examples pull from a number of existing works: Like most video- exploitables, the setup only requires a number of clips of four specific characters (five if one includes the bookending warning). Since then, many similar videos have appeared. One of the first videos to appear to use the skit was one created by Voilition, Inc., using rendered video of the characters from their game Summoner. It abandons the warning bookends and only focuses on the antics of the novice players. ![]() There is actually a second skit created by the Dead Alewives that follow on this, but it has gained less attention in terms of its meme-ness. ![]() While the two players argue with the DM, a fourth player is heard in the background, looking for food while trying to role-play his character. The bulk of the skit is then four people playing D&D, the Dungeonmaster (DM) and two other very novice players, clearly unsure of the rules. It is bookended by a man warning of the dangers of D&D, claiming the rest of the audio within is a recording from an actual D&D session to highlight these dangers. The skit itself was recorded by the now-defunct comedy trope, The Dead Alewives, on their Take Down the Grand Master album. The audio skit has since gone on to be both an exploitable meme for videos, as well as providing several catchphrases on its own. "Dungeons and Dragons" is the name of audio skit performed by the comedy trope, The Dead Alewives, which, at the time of its creation, mocked the critical nature that games like "Dungeons and Dragons" were receiving from popular media. ![]()
