I have been noticing a trend with slimes, especially in hentai games: They consistently have the most fatal abilities and consequences if they don't feel merciful. Drowning, acid that can selectively destroy materials, able to grapple and vore protagonists outright, jellyfish paralysis or electrical eel capabilities in some cases.
From a human perspective, a person like Aspasia seems like Gaea's answer to the question "What if Mother Nature REALLY wanted you dead?"
When it comes to civilization at large, I suspect that slimes are also treasured craftsmen. Selective destruction offers slimes a role in manufacturing goods - they can potentially carve wooden logs into precise shapes, or jiggle their acidic bodies to separate materials into pure concentrate.
Looking forward to Aspasia being expanded. There are many ways for her and the world to show their interwoven depths.
