when looking at Bracchi in rage mode its neither here or there on whether its concussive force - he can slam his horn in the ground just fine - no explosion, but when he tosses his horn up a line of explosions goes forward - its body must secrete some kind of hormone that's easily evaporated and its the heat that combusts the slime? but it lives in a volcano and the slime can stay on the ground for some time, exploding over time which takes on the appearance of it being combusted by heat

i think saying its heat related would be most proper; to explain its enraged state the slime is obviously less stable as it turns yellow

as for deviljho....it could definitely swim like a frog, its body is built like an elder tadpole even though its tail is pretty fat, but really it's difficult to explain how any monster digs through the earth, as diablos is definitely not built for digging with that large head crest and massive horns - i don't even want to touch digging in this game
