Did you know Starship Changeling has a new feature called Monsters Described? I, a totally blind horror fan, get Perplexity.ai to generate descriptions of horror movie monsters and post them for other blind horror fans. Just follow #MonstersDescribed from your Fediverse account, or subscribe to the category feed on the Starship changeling site.
Monsters Described No. 2: Slither
Explanation
This is the second in a series of posts that describe the monsters from horror movies for those who are #blind or visually impaired. Rather than describe the movie, the purpose here is to provide a description of the monster only, since #AudioDescription doesn’t allow for as much details as blind horror fans like myself would like.
Disclaimer
Since I am totally blind, all of these descriptions are generated using Perplexity.ai unless other wise stated. I’m simply posting the results here in case Perplexity pages become unavailable for some reason.
An now oOur Feature Presentation
This film has two monsters–the alien parasite and the slugs.
Description
In the 2006 horror-comedy film “Slither,” the alien parasites and slugs are grotesque and unsettling creatures designed to evoke a sense of disgust and fear. Here’s a detailed description for someone who is totally blind:
Physical Appearance
Main Parasite
The primary alien parasite is a large, amorphous creature with a slimy, gelatinous body. It’s roughly the size of a small car and has a pinkish-red coloration. The texture of its skin is moist and slick, similar to that of a giant slug or a mass of intestines. The parasite has multiple tentacle-like appendages that can extend and retract, allowing it to move and grab objects or victims.
Slugs
The smaller parasites, often referred to as slugs, are about the size of a person’s hand. They have a cylindrical, worm-like body with no visible eyes or limbs. Their skin is slimy and moist, much like an earthworm but with a more alien texture. These slugs are capable of quick, darting movements and can leap surprisingly far.
Sensory Characteristics
If one could touch these creatures (which would be inadvisable in the context of the film), they would feel:
The parasites would likely emit a faint, squelching sound as they move, similar to the noise made when stepping in mud or other viscous substances.
Behavior and Abilities
The parasites in “Slither” have several notable characteristics:
These descriptions aim to convey the unsettling and alien nature of the creatures from “Slither,” emphasizing their otherworldly and repulsive qualities that make them effective horror movie monsters.
This is a test.
🍿 #NowWatching Jeapers creepers. Never seen it before, but it seems to fit with the horror movie mood i’ve been in.
🧑🏼🦯💻 It just warms my heart whenever a website has a signup process that requires completion of a capcha and not only do they not have an alternative method, their contact form where I might request assistance also requires the solving of a capcha with no alternate method.
🎶 #RoyalThunder has been increasingly been making its way into my Apple Music Station. The underworld goddess NightDrake is responsible for this.

Good morning, Fediversians and micro.bloggers. Are you gorgeous?
None of these have #AudioDescription, so i thought I’d read the books first. Currently reading: The Complete Alien Omnibus by Alan Dean Foster 📚
Finished reading: The Ferryman by Justin Cronin 📚 I liked it better the second time around. I was so mentally checked out last year I didn’t really take it in.
Yes, I do use both at the same time. No, it is not like a real life ame of Rhythm Heaven Fever. DisabilityChic
I submitted this creation for a #WhiteCaneDay Tshirt contest. I decided to go with something a bit thifferent than a picture of some person with a white cane and a bunch of legalese

It’s sad that #Perplexity.ai explains me better than I explain myself. I’ve been asking other questions since then. Here’s the Perplexity page
Took my #GuideDragon for a walk down to the Good Will and back to let me practice getting the timing between it and my long white cane in sync. Also practiced using it to go up and down stairs. I struggle with getting the rhythm back whenever I turn or maneuver around an
