A couple who make real-estate influencer videos?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautilus with a lot of legs/limbs removed.
I guessing there might have been a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautiloid, now extinct that had "only" 4 legs.
Octopus, they typically go into objects and close them tightly like a shell, and no doubt about legs and slime.
Too many legs
They have zero, actually. No arms, either. They’re molluscs like clams and snails and the tentacles are actually a single modified apendage we call their foot. So, by that, they’ve actually got not enough legs and eight “toes”.
Is the tetrapod leg not also a modified appendage that we call a leg?
That's a problem with the choice of axis scale, not the response. Octopus is the correct answer, because it is at or near the extreme of all three axes.
Would it be wrong to have the turtle in that spot? And replace where turtle is now with tortoise. More importantly there's another missing spot, no slime, no legs, and 1 house. What goes there?
Clam? Maybe if we are generous with the "no slime" definition.
Clams have a "foot" that they use to move around with sometimes.

I don't know, some turtles could be quite slimy. At the corner where it says turtle it should probably say tortoise, and at the "what goes here" corner you can put something like a softshell turtle.
Yeah turtle goes in that corner and them armadillo or something for 4 legs, house, no slime.

Surely it would be more bewildering in the middle. What's something that only has 0.1 4 legs, and is 0.4 house?
A war vet
Crabs?

Nautiloids? They have a shell, are slimy, and have tentacles ("feet")
Surinam Frog. 4 legs, slimy, and it incubates its eggs in the skin of the female's back for 4-6 months.
If we consider parasites as inhabitants, there are a lot of slimy house quadrupeds.
1 House, 2 legs and Yes Slime would be a Doctor.
Edit: For those who don't get it, it's a doctor House reference.

That graph is also missing a data point at [Slime, Legs, House] = [No, 0, 1].
Yeah, but it can be filled in with "house".

A shelled salamander
Hermit crab?
I don't wanna meet anything that is slimy and has four legs. That is pretty much how games like half-life start.
I was actually opening the comments to ask if headcrabs are slimy enough to fill this niche.

Tubifex worm
a nautilus, as long as you accept tentacles as legs
Although, they have more than 4, so I guess they wouldint be featured at that particular point
Snail with four legd
