What's slimy, has 4 legs, and is a house?

A horny turtle

I GOT IT!! it's a softshell turtle!!

they live in freshwater like lakes so they are slimy, have 4 legs, and can retract into their body

Hermit crab?

Florida man

Tubifex worm

Salamanders, people keep them as pets

A shelled salamander

1 house. 4 legs. Yes Slime.

Two married lawyers with a horse costume.

Master Roshi.

Snail with four legd

What about no legs, no slime, and a house?

Surely it would be more bewildering in the middle. What's something that only has 0.1 4 legs, and is 0.4 house?

A war vet

How about turtoise? Their skin is a bit slimy when it‘s wet.

Octopus, they typically go into objects and close them tightly like a shell, and no doubt about legs and slime.

Too many legs
- They have zero, actually. No arms, either. They’re molluscs like clams and snails and the tentacles are actually a single modified apendage we call their foot. So, by that, they’ve actually got not enough legs and eight “toes”.
- That's a problem with the choice of axis scale, not the response. Octopus is the correct answer, because it is at or near the extreme of all three axes.

1 House, 2 legs and Yes Slime would be a Doctor.

I'd think they'd be more like 2 Houses, 2 Legs, and Medium Slime (probably on a gradient).

Crabs?

fuckers have like 6 legs
- Technically, 10

A sloth!

No slime
- Sloths grow algae in their fur. Definitely slimy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautilus with a lot of legs/limbs removed.

I guessing there might have been a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautiloid, now extinct that had "only" 4 legs.

I don't know, some turtles could be quite slimy. At the corner where it says turtle it should probably say tortoise, and at the "what goes here" corner you can put something like a softshell turtle.

Yeah turtle goes in that corner and them armadillo or something for 4 legs, house, no slime.
Almost.... the grid is wrong, it should be tortoise... 4 legs , house, dry...
Turtle 4 legs house slimy....

Most humans don't have more than 3 legs.
- On average, we have slightly less than two, even.

A couple who make real-estate influencer videos?

I don't wanna meet anything that is slimy and has four legs. That is pretty much how games like half-life start.

Hey look, this guy is scared of frogs!!
I was actually opening the comments to ask if headcrabs are slimy enough to fill this niche.

A turtle with a cold?

Or a fungal infection

Surinam Frog. 4 legs, slimy, and it incubates its eggs in the skin of the female's back for 4-6 months.

If we consider parasites as inhabitants, there are a lot of slimy house quadrupeds.

Marsupials?

Nautiloids? They have a shell, are slimy, and have tentacles ("feet")

That graph is also missing a data point at [Slime, Legs, House] = [No, 0, 1].

Clam? I'd put them at like 0.25 slime, though
- Coral isn't slimy I think
Yeah, but it can be filled in with "house".
Maybe some sea animal with a house? I'd imagine you don't need slime under water. But I'm no biologist.
Mushroom? In particular, the ones that look most like Smurf houses?
Slimeless, legless, housed.
Houseplant?

Would it be wrong to have the turtle in that spot? And replace where turtle is now with tortoise. More importantly there's another missing spot, no slime, no legs, and 1 house. What goes there?

Clam? Maybe if we are generous with the "no slime" definition.
- Clams have a "foot" that they use to move around with sometimes.
A house
- A flooded stilt house.
Certain coral species, maybe?
Turtle isn't slimy
- Frog should be slime=probably
  Turtle should be slime=maybe
  And tortoise would be slime=no
- I'd put the slime as "probably". Their shells can get coated in slime, but not always and they don't generate it.
Came here to say this exactly. And I'm thinking like maybe some kind of sea creature, maybe coral?
Move snake to no slime, no legs, one house, and replace it with legless lizards. People do keep snakes as pets but I've never heard the same for legless lizards
Edit: Apparently I misread the meaning of house in this graph
- Snake no is house
- House doesn't mean pet. House means is a house. Snail, turtle, oyster, clam, etc are house.

A crab that lost a few legs while falling into a vat of lube

A landlord?

Only two legs and too many houses. Slimy, yes.
- Phylogenetically, they're still tetrapods.
- A married couple who are landlords.
- They only stand on their back legs when they feel threatened, to make themselves look bigger

Kangaroo

They're actually pentapedal, educate yourself
House with legs, ok, but slimy where?
- That marsupial pouch isn’t dry.

a nautilus, as long as you accept tentacles as legs

Although, they have more than 4, so I guess they wouldint be featured at that particular point

Armadillo?

A well lubeicated turtle

Hermit crab should work? It feels more 'house' than a regular exoskeleton
- It doesn't have slime to be yes on the slime axis.
- Oooh, or what about that weird critter that births its young through holes in its back? That's a slimey house with 4 legs!
  Edit: Oh wait, no. I looked up 'animal with holes in its back full of babies' and it's the Suriname Toad, so still a frog basically.
