Tall slab boulders at DL

I'm looking for recommendations on tall slab boulders (or very short boulder-able routes) at Devil's Lake. I've already got Super Slab and Big Red on the list. Any grade is fine--I can usually send V4 after a few attempts, but I wouldn't mind having some harder stuff for potential projects down the road. Thanks!

Mammalary Magic is one of the coolest slab climbs I’ve done anywhere.  You’d need a rope for it, but the anchor setup is super easy off a couple of trees.  There’s also a bolt if you’re feeling suicidal enough to lead it.

This is a fun slabby problem that went up recently and there's more good stuff right by it. mountainproject.com/route/1…

Nice, thanks all! Mammalary Magic looks cool but I'll save that one for when I rope up   And I got Little Flatiron earlier in the year, but that's a great one to revisit.

I've been scouring MP during my free time (or whatever work is called) and here's what I've got in my Todos:

Super Slab V0
Big Red V0
Murder Slab V3
Slab of Doom V4
Fully Aroused V4
To Crimp a Butterfly V0
Fatterpiller V1
Railroad Slab V1
Classic Warmup V1​​​
Charlize Heron V4

Should definitely be able to make a day of it!

e; Oh yeah, and the bottom slab of Green Bulge 5.7 (IIRC, you can exit to one of the sides?).

Trust fund is a great easy slab
