I never got understood the notion of slimes as weak mosters,

you can't cut them, most of them have weird ressistenses to fire, Ice or other elemental attacks.

they mostly deal corrosive types of damage...

in D&D3.5 they were a threat level 4 to boot(the easiest ones) as orcs were 1/2(a whapping half of a threat level).

and an Elder Black Pudding was threat level of 12(due to the fact of being beyond huge, having TKO attacks and damaging gear very fast)... Slimes were the worst thing to deal with, so most of the time it was just an encounter of "Lets GTFO because this thing is gonna eat us faster then an elf could look for a hidden door" unless the thing blocked the way then the story was getting to either deal the apropriate elemental damage, diverting it, or in case of very small ones splitting it till it dies...

now people take it as Canon that slimes are weak... F U DragonQuest!
