Figure A: a cheesechild, roughly a week or two old. Baby cheeseslimes are quite squishy and rubbery don't produce a lot of... cheese slime I guess you'd call it. Because of this, they are lighter in hue than adults and can't really maintain heat (the slime acts as a fur coat, and regulates body heat). At this age, they will latch into their parent's slime for warmth.
Figure B: a five month old cheeseslime, about 12-ish in human years. They slowly begin to produce their own slime, and their body becomes more liquid and they are now able to retract their paws/hands when needed.
Figure C: a year-old cheeseslime, now fully grown. Their bodies are normally more liquid than solid but they can "shift" their viscosity at will. Their appendages have melted into their own body but can be rematerialized when needed.
Left figure: a proud cheeseslime parent, their cheesechildren nesting in their slime for warmth.
Right figure: cheeseslime parent teaches their child counting I guess. Putting this here for no other reason than to show that I headcanon cheeseslimes have the BEANS 🐾✨
Extras:
Cheeseslimes have a lifespan of about 40-50 years.
They do not have sexes and reproduce asexually. They do have gender identities which they discover as they grow.
Their body temperature is a lot higher than most warm-blooded animals. Not hot enough to burn, but getting there. A cheeseslime's body can reach boiling point during a fever and can cause the slime to bubble.
Cheeseslimes normally can materialize up to 4 limbs at a time (2 arms, 2 legs). However in extremely rare cases, some can materialize more limbs- either an extra pair of arms or even wings.
