Lurking under the snowy layers, safe from the dangerous winds of the Tundra, hides the soft and jelly-like Slikat. Having no magical aptitude whatsoever, the Slikat is at a severe disadvantage compared to its other magic wielding neighbours. However, using its natural ability to stretch and reform itself, the Slikat is able to evade many of the magical dangers that populate the Frozen Tundra.
The amorphous properties of the Slikat’s body is truly a marvel to behold. During my expedition to the Tundra, it took nearly 2 months before I saw my first Slikat, and before I could write down any of my observations it disappeared from view. The local penguins took me to an area where the Slikats would fight, almost like an arena, and told me that the Slikat victors would often consume their opponents.
The Slikats have one advantage in the Tundra though, and it is also one of their biggest weaknesses. It is able to do large amounts of physical damage to anything in its way, and the other creatures of the Tundra are generally protected against magical assaults. This would mean that the Slikats are actually highly effective at fighting other Tundra magnus, though they would also be defeated just as quickly if attacked by magic.
