Have you seen the hagfish slime? THAT is gross. And impressive if your into little things that create gallons of slime that can suffocate their predators.

They use a corkscrew motion to work themselves into carcasses that they eat from the inside out. If you put a small amount of hagfish slime into a bucket of fresh water, it expands to make an entire bucket of viscous slime
