Bloodslog? If we're going to do something like that, why not Bloodhorologe?

And Horologe would take much more to bloodshape than Slog.

In what way does this affect the actual plan that was being discussed?

Much lower cost:benefit ratio than Bloodslog. Exhibit A: Realslog.

We need something that can be made simply. Slog is simple in both body and mind, therefore he is easy to do.

He's too complex to be a test for anything, and he's too useless for a final product. He's caught in between the two categories we want.

Even if Horologe is too expensive, a Bloodslog is pretty much useless. You know, like the real one, but probably worse.

Slog isn't useless. He provides a bonus to idle activities, can use some basic magic, has an inventory, and can turn into King Slog when fed.

I'm pretty sure that Slog king thingy was a result of the mushroom, rather than from giving slog something to eat.

I'm pretty sure it was from giving him something to eat, seeing as there was a bunch of stuff about how he had always wanted food and he got turned into "Not-Hungry Slog". Food seems to be pretty scarce in the Warrens, since nobody needs it; thus, it would make sense for any food to transform Slog.

Slog eats the Mushroom and morphs into NOT HUNGRY SLOG. The form will last for FOUR turns. His new form has the following abilities:

So does everyone, it's very basic and he sucks at using it, so does everyone, and when was the last time we had anything to feed him with? (And what's so special about King Slog? He can heal--we have Cherish for that--he continues to have Frizz which continues to suck in Slog's...um...pseudopods, and then Increase...well...it's a thing, but nothing worth spending rare things like the mushroom on.)

Every single one of those "food" "items" can be "used" to "feed" "Slog".

That Attack buff is quite good. +3 to our attack roll, and +3 to damage. If we use that together with one of those many attacks, few damage attacks we might have around, it can kill.

So, we need to feed Slog money to make him work at all, except we also need to spend inventory slots. Remind me why this is considered useful.

If. Sadly, Slog doesn't seem to be...well...good at doing anything right. When was the last time he used a spell or something to successfully attack what we wanted him to?

Oh. Yeah...that's damn good evidence.
