Appearance[]
Initially, Monster Blood appears as a typical novelty "slime" toy, such as Mars Mud or Silly Putty, and comes in a small metal can. It glows in the dark and bounces like a ball when it is thrown. However, it is also alive, able to move on its own and consume anything it can envelop, including people and animals, to add to its mass. In addition, any living thing that consumes Monster Blood will grow several times their original size.
Variations[]
Asides from the ordinary Green Blood, there actually are also other variations of slime that are used in a similar fashion:
- Purple Peanut Butter, which has the opposite as the original (Shrinks the consumer instead of enlarging him/her), It gets its name from its color and peanut butter-like smell.
- Blue Monster Blood, Which multiplies whenever it makes contact with water. Anything that consumes it multiplies and becomes meaner.
- "12 hour Trial version", which basically was a "watered down" version of the original effects.
- "Vampirism Goo" (also known as Vampire in a Can): A red Monster Blood-like goo that turns whoever consumes it into a vampire. It actually has no legitimate relation to Monster Blood, but it works in a fashion much similar to it.
