Seriously. I'm level 20, a Metal Slime. The first time I saw that I was like "dude, I must be hated among the GS community." But then I realized that's the rank of level 20. I saw like sectoid, and tapper, and random other things at random ranks. I'm just wondering why they are what they are. Are they like...meaningful? Or is it just the Gamespot staff and their odd randomness.
