Characteristics

Shellie's mother is an orange slime similar in appearance to a She-slime that protect themselves with a spiral shell resembling a white Neptunea antiqua. Their shells make the slimes appear as though they have a motherly beehive hairdo on their heads. The shells of Shellie's mothers lack the sharp spines seen on those of shell slimes as they do not wish to harm their children. However, the motherly slimes are known to call down bolts of lightning when threatened.

Shellie's mother appears as the rarefied monster version of the Shell slime starting in Version 1.5 of the game. They are able to cast both Bang and Heal, along with protecting themselves with their shells, and will also cast Zap when they become enraged.
