Turpentine always works for me....
But plenty of Universal Solvent, delivered under high pressure, works just as well...Just quickly wade your 'bot through a reasonably clean local river(or public [pool if you really want to honk off the locals), or drop in at your local carwash(though expect to pay extra).

That would be a good way too clean up the stuff that is cleanable. But what about the impact on the environment of all that slime! Ewww. The might make the Valdez oil spill look tiny!

Well, you could have a multicellular jellyfish-like critter that uses internal telekinesis in lieu of bones, and can change its configuration to form necessary internal structures at will...
But the Splugorth are FAR above the ameboid stage and into the 'part of the essential anatomy is in another universe/plane of existance ' stage.....

Well, actually, that has some nasty implications....Splugorth shaving/scalping slaves because hair mats are 'in' this century among the Splugorth...(last millenia it was Aztec-style skin-shirts).
That could well be why the Altarans are all bald...millenia of culling the fair-haired left only the bald mutations to continue their species. And it could lead to a genengineered slave species whose sole purpose to grow hair...lots and lots of hair...like a humanoid Afghan hound...

Does that mean if the sploogie has some long lichens of molds growing on it, that it wouldn't be eligable for the Hair club for Sploogies?

Well, the HIgh Lords are already considered to be macro-parasites/symbiotes, but yes, smaller organisms could be present...indeed, an integral part of the Splugorth's healthy physiology....and given the intense concentrations of magic about them. the mutation rate could be quite high among those organisms....paving the way for, instance, sentient intestinal fauna (what happens when a Splugorth's guts start talking telepathically back to him? And you thought a growling stomach in the middle of a social gathering was bad!).

That could very likely be the norm for one of them. They might just consider it another way of keeping themselves safe. That same interestinal intelligent flora could warn him if he ingest something say poinson that could effect him if he didn't know to take an antidote.

Another canonical Splugorth to add to the list:

Lord Korrek----The mastermind behind the Gunbrothers. Apparently still very active and set on taking out the CCW as the lynchpin to taking over the THree Galaxies(Presumably by using its resources to take on the TGE, once he destabilizes the CCW enough with the Gunbrothers). Currently frustrated by the Oni Ninja clans.

I'm sure they're following the forum thread gag on gross physical compression of bodies into a minimum of space...(though that's usually accompanied by great violence and the openning of a can of Whupass-brand Elemental Softdrink).
