He was familiar with it, even quite well-acquainted. It was also a distinctive product of the Lyra Map, the "pollutant" that Gerard had been continuously talking about, a monster originating from the Polluted Land bordering Lyra. Its hallmark was resembling a puddle of slime, which is why players called it a slime monster.
