As someone who has read the whole play, let me inform you that Caliban is slime. He's also sneaky, beaten down, crazy, and deformed. I always pictured him as behaving a little like Gollum does in the LOTR movies.

He actually should be really fun to play.

Have you read The Tempest? If you have time before your performance, I suggest reading the play. It's very enjoyable, as you can imagine, and there's nothing like reading the whole play to get you understanding the context and the character better.
