The density of blobs?

8,954

For context, the blobs I'm referencing are the Gloops from OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes, which are translucent, slime-like creatures. I'm attempting to perform a calculation surrounding them, but it requires me to know its mass, which requires its density... which I don't have. Initially, I searched up "density of slime", and the first result, and really only result, told me slime had a density of 10000 kg/m^3, which seems incredibly unlikely to me, but that's all I have to work off of. Does there exist a concrete density for slimes/blobs?
 
I'm not sure if the Gloops are like the slime we can create, so I would assume that they have at least a similar density to water.
 
The best I can equate pretty much any slime to is gelatin: https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a008396.pdf

According to the document linked, you'd get 1.01 g/cm³ for 5% gelatin and 1.058 g/cm³ for 20% gelatin. Slimes would probably be closer to the 5% stuff myself since they are still liquid-y despite being technically semisolid in how they work.
