おもしろい事実
Each tiny, finger-like branch of the slime mold is covered in microscopic spores!

This slime mold looks like miniature white coral growing on dead wood.
特殊能力
能力
Spores on the Surface
Common Coral Slime has unique stalk-less spores that grow directly on its branching surface, which helps them spread easily in moist environments.
能力
Plasmodium Power
Common Coral Slime can move slowly across surfaces as a jelly-like plasmodium to find food before forming its coral-like structures.
能力
Decomposition Dynamo
Common Coral Slime helps break down dead plant material like logs and leaves, turning waste into vital nutrients for the forest floor.
