Viscous slime



The Viscous Slime is a powerful glue used by the Sun Warriors as a security measure for the protection of their revered Sunstone. Removing the Sunstone from its pedestal causes the glue to erupt from beneath it, filling the chamber, and trapping and drowning would-be thieves. The slime can only be removed by Anteater Sloths, domesticated by the Sun Warriors for this purpose.

In "The Firebending Masters", Zuko removes the golden Sunstone from its pedestal, and activates the trap which closes the door of the room and fills it with the slime. Airbending both he and Zuko to a small grated opening in th roof, Aang manages to save them both from, though they remained stuck to the bars until nightfall, when Aang uses Soundbending to call for help, after which they are found and subsequently released by the Sun Warrior Chief.

Though the slime bears resemblance to that designed by the Mechanist and used against the Fire Nation in the Battle for the Northern Air Temple, the slime designed by the Mechanist was never mentioned as being particularly adhesive, and thus remains speculative only. It is more than probable that the two slimes are unrelated, as it seems near to impossible that the Mechanist knew of the glue of a thought-to-be long dead foreign civilization.
