Cheeseslime oozes back and forth on the ground, turning at ledges and walls. It cannot directly harm or affect Peppino under normal circumstances, as it becomes stunned on contact if it bumps into the player from any side.
Cheeseslimes are not durable either, as they will be defeated after one weak attack. Under high [[Heat Meter]] levels, however, Cheeseslime will get angry and try to hit Peppino with a baseball bat if they are close enough to it. The swinging of the bat propels the Cheeseslime towards Peppino.

Cheeseslimes ooze around and don't hurt the player upon contact.
== Snotty Appearances==
''Cheeseslimes appear in every level, excluding tutorial and most bosses. One Cheeseslime is always in the first room in every level. See [[List of levels|List of Levels]].''
Snotty is a slightly greenish Cheeseslime. Snotty appears in the World 4 hub, [[Slum]], as a harmless Cheeseslime meandering around near the elevator to [[Staff Only]]. He acts exactly like all other Cheeseslimes, but since there are no points or combo meter in the hub, killing him is almost worthless. If Snotty is defeated, his grave will appear on subsequent visits to Slum, right next to the elevator to Staff Only. If Snotty is left alive for the whole game, he will escape with the player during The Crumbling Tower of Pizza, and after finishing the level and beating the game, the player is given a stamp on their save file of a green Cheeseslime reading “Snotty Approved”. Snotty can still be attacked and killed on replaying the file and doing so will not remove Snotty’s approval of the player, but he will still die and stay dead forever if killed.
== Variants ==
As of Eggplant Build v15, Snotty appears as the first Cheeseslime in several levels, but this was removed in the official release of the game. Snotty behaved like every other Cheeseslime and his greenish coloration is simply cosmetic.

==Trivia==
{{TriviaNote}}
* Cheeseslime once had a full defeat animation that has went unused since the [[SAGE 2019 Demo]].▼
* Cheeseslimes are in the most levels out of any enemy.
*According to Toppinbot on the Pizza Tower Discord, Cheeseslime is oblivious to its surroundings. This statement is questionable, as all Cheeseslimes will show aggression towards the player if the Heat Meter is high enough. In addition, some groups of Cheeseslimes drive [[Cardboard Tank|Cardboard Tanks]], which actively try to hurt the player by ramming them or firing projectiles. However this may just imply that Cheeseslimes have varying levels of intelligence, with [[The Vigilante]] being a major example of this, being fully capable of using various weapons like guns and dynamite to his advantage.
* Cheeseslimes are the very first enemies to appear in [https://wienerdontusedrugs.tumblr.com/post/171946915067/first-enemy-the-cheese-slimes-sfx-are Pizza Tower's earliest days].
* In [[Noise's Hardoween]], Cheeseslime is recoloured blue. This is mostly likely a reference to blue cheese.▼

* In the [[List of builds|October 2022 build]], the first Cheeseslime in every [[List of levels|level]] is green.

** One green Cheeseslime is also present in the final game, named [[Snotty]]. It is found in the [[Slum]], and dies permanently if killed. If left alive and saved during [[The Crumbling Tower of Pizza]], it will present a stamp of approval on the save file.
* It's unknown if Snotty is simply a joke or an actual character in the game's lore.

Cheeseslimes are creatures made of melted cheese with two bagged eyes and a gaping black mouth. They don't have any visible limbs, so they just slide around, though in some cases they've been shown with retractable cheese arms.
