The Slinker is a Gem Monster that first appeared in "Reformed", serving as the episode's antagonist, and in "Unboxing" serving as a minor antagonist.
Appearance
She resembles a dark, flowering plant. The monster consists of four dark-blue petals, which acts as her mouth, and are light-blue on the inside. Each petal also has five thorn-like projections nearing the tip. The petals are connected together by a darker-blue bulb that tapers to a point. The bulb is connected to multiple vines used as appendages, with two vines having a leaf-like structure at the end.
History
Note: Please add more. With good details.
Abilities
- Physical Vigor: The Slinker is a very fast, limber, sturdy creature, able to withstand multiple hits from Amethyst and Garnet. She also has great physical strength, able to force Amethyst to retreat to her gem with a single bite from her "jaws" or a squeeze from her tentacles.
- Stealth: As her name implies, the Slinker is very good at moving quietly and hiding.
- Burrowing: She is able to move through the ground with ease, forming circular tunnels that lead into different parts of Amethyst's Room.
- Prehensile Appendages: Her vines are very prehensile, able to entangle enemies with a tight grip to the point of constriction.
- Projectile Goop: She can secrete a dark, ink-like substance that she seems to be able to shoot across long distances.
