Green Slime is one of the most common forms of slime encountered. A green slime attack has the ability to poison or infect its target upon a successful hit.
In both BGEE and BG2EE, a green slime can only engage in melee, with an unenchanted attack that exposes the target to two effects on a failed saving throw vs. Death/Poison (with a +4 bonus): a poison that inflicts 2 poison damage per round for 8 seconds and a delayed Kill target effect that may kill the target after 10 seconds. Both effects are nonmagical and, therefore, cannot be dispelled via Dispel Magic. Immunity to kill target effects can prevent that effect from taking place even on a failed save, but poison immunity prevents both effects (poison + kill target) at once.
Baldur's Gate I & II Classic
This icon indicates content from all original Baldur's Gate games, extensions included. In the original game, the poison simply does 4 points of damage over 8 seconds and then kills the target after two more seconds. Both of these effects can be avoided with a save vs. death with a +4 bonus. Curing the poison will not prevent the delayed death, and it cannot be dispelled, but spells like Death Ward can protect from it.
Game play[]
- Green slimes are immune to electricity and missiles and are resistant to all poison effects in all the games in which they occur.
- They are immune to backstab in Shadows of Amn.
- They can be trapped with Web to prevent them from poisoning party members and then be killed using magical or non-magical ranged weapons and/or spells with minimal risk.
The Green Slimes (GORJELGR.cre) encountered on the Watcher's Keep Elemental Level are tougher than the typical Green Slime creature. They have many more resistances to physical and elemental damages. You will find your axes, clubs and swords doing very little damage, and acids having no effect. Even fire and cold damage will be resisted to a high extent. See the Green Slime (WK Elemental level) page for more details.

Bugs[]
- Green slimes are treated by the original games as mages, although their own class is defined since the first game's release and is used in the Enhanced Editions.
