No, the only slimy thing in there is the cell membrane

Slime mold can be unicellular or multicellular
yes they do!

capsule
The capsule is a slime layer outside of prokaryotic cells. It sticks cells together and acts as a food reserve. It also protects cells from digestive enzymes and chemicals, etc.

unicellular eukaryotes (such as the slime, molds)
Some bacterial cells are surrounded by an extracellular slime layer called a capsule or glycocalyx. This structure can play a protective role for certain pathogenic bacteria such as streptococcus pneunoniae. The capsule prevents phagocytic white blood cells from engulfing and destroying this bacterial pathogen, enabling the organism to invade the lungs and cause pneumonia. The capsule is also a means for many bacteria to attach to solid surfaces in the environment.
He isn't really an animal, he's a slime monster.
