Lichen are a type of enemy encountered in the Clockworks.
Traits
Unlike their cubic cousins, Lichens can be a little more tricky in a fight; if they can't merge together to create a larger singular being which eventually evolves into more dangerous forms, then they're able to cause statuses. Unlike most monsters which have identical attack patterns across different themed variations, Lichen attacks can vary depending on their Status, even being able to benefit from being afflicted with one. The Soul Jelly is the sole exception to this rule, as it cannot merge or inflict a Status.
Lichens can inflict normal and piercing damage.

Strategy
- Defeating non-elemental Lichens is very simple, but you must keep in mind that when they merge:
- The resulting Lichen has full health and is cured of status effects.
- Ten normal Lichens make a Lichen Colony, and sixteen make a Giant Colony. It is important to notice that any combination of the sort can get you one. For example: merging two quintuple Lichens (Lichens made by merging five normal Lichens) also results in a colony. Merging a sextuple Lichen (a Lichen made by merging six normal Lichens) with a Colony gets you a Giant Colony.
- Differently-sized Lichens look slightly different in size and have several visible cores. It is important to note which is which. The same applies to Colonies and Giant Colonies, so you can know the number of total Lichens in each.
- Giant Colonies have unlimited Lichen absorption, but may only do so when damaged, to regain full health.
- The more cores a Lichen has, the more health it has and damage it deals. This is capped at 21 cores maximum. Lichens that join a colony afterwards will not increase its power nor the amount of loot dropped after its death any further.
- Some Colonies that were already in Colony form when they spawned will have only one core. This means they will be weaker compared to Colonies formed from ten smaller Lichens. When a single-core Colony merges with another small Lichen, its core amount gets bumped back to proper value.
- For more skilled players, it may be beneficial to let them form into Giant Colonies before attacking so you will get increased heat.
- Don't let Red Rovers take notice of you when there are Oilers or Toxoils around, and don't use weapons that inflict fire or they will be set aflame.
- Oilers slide around for a bit after they stop moving, meaning they can charge up an attack and still hit you as you run away.
- A frozen Oiler or Toxoil will lose its "aflame" status, and elemental damage will do normal damage to it instead of reduced damage. They can be relit quite easily however from fire traps, shadow fire, Red Rovers and other lit Oilers.
- If a Quicksilver has been shocked, it can damage or kill other enemies (including other Quicksilvers, which can be useful when there are a large number of Quicksilvers in the vicinity) but will heal itself.
- Stepping into a Sloombargo's sleep mist can be used to restore a few pips of health, especially right after you kill one. Never do this with enemies around unless you know what are you doing or have teammates to wake you up.

Trivia
- Toxoil and Giant Toxoil were introduced with release 2012-07-25 along with
Dangerous Mission: Compound 42.
- Sloom and Sloombargo were reintroduced with release 2017-05-11 along with the Starlight Cradle region.
- Baby Mimic was introduced with release 2019-06-27 along with the new Treasure Vault's levels.
- According to the Rank Mission: Alien Ooze, Lichens are an alien species of the slime family thought to have come to the Clockworks via a meteor that crashed on to the surface of Cradle. A specific Scenario Room shows a meteor crashed into the Clockworks with some Lichens nearby.
- The Prestige Mission: A Pinch of Salt states that Lichens hate Rock Salt; this material makes them dissolve. Additionally, Lichens are unable to cross the salt barriers made by the Geo Knights before players enter the elevator to Haven.
- Toxoils and Giant Toxoils were created by Herex but apparently formed an intelligence well beyond the scope of a standard bio-toxin. Herex ordered the facility destroyed seeing that those experiments could endanger the Order.
- The Starlight Cradle levels were accidentally added on the second Depth of the Iron Bishop Gate on 10/26/13. Video (Youtube). This included the Slooms and Sloombargos. This bug was fixed on 10/28/2013.1
- The Starlight Cradle levels, along with Slooms and Sloombargos were readded with the release 2017-05-11 update. The update came with new equipment, and sleep can now be caused by enemies again.
