Slimes are the most basic and common enemies in the game Terraria

Appearence[]

Most slimes appear to be a gelatinous mass with no specific shape. They appear in many different colours and in every part of the world where there is a place for them to spawn.

Behavior[]

The majority of slimes can only do melee attacks by coliding with the player and can only move around by jumping. However, there are also a lot of unique slime enemies that can shoot projectiles or even fly.

Most slimes that spawn at the surface in the day are neutral to the player and won't attack them intentionally, however slimes that spawn underground or in the night will actively try to attack the player.

Loot[]

Most slimes will drop 1 or 2 gel. The only exceptions are:

  • Pinky - Drops 25-50 pink gel instead of normal gel
  • Hoppin' Jack - Does not drop anything

There are also some types of slime that will drop unique loot along with the gel. Those slimes are the:

  • Dungeon Slime - Drops a Golden Key
  • Windy Balloon - Has a chance to drop one of 7 types of kites or 2-5 paper airplanes
  • Rainbow Slime - Drops 30-60 rainbow bricks

Most slime types have a 0.01 chance to drop a slime staff, a weapon that summons a baby slime minion to fight for the player

Bonus Drops[]

Green, Blue, Purple, Red, Yellow, Black, Baby, Jungle Slimes and Pinky have a chance to spawn with a random item stuck inside them that the player can get upon killing them. Those items can be:

  • Swiftness potions
  • Ironskin potions
  • Spelunker potions
  • Mining potions
  • Recall potions
  • Wormhole potions (Only in multiplayer)
  • Torches
  • Bombs
  • Rope
  • Hearts
  • Copper, Tin, Iron, Lead, Tungsten, Silver, Gold or Platinum Ores

Bestiary[]

The bestiary entries for:

  • Green, Blue, Red, Yellow, Black and Jungle Slimes: "A simple, gelatinous creature that swallows anything and everything whole! It takes a long time to digest anything."
  • Ice Slime: "Slimes that spent too long in arctic temperatures may begin to partially freeze, developing a shifting layer of ice on their surface."
  • Desert Slime: "Deserts are very dry, but the Sand Slime seems to have successfully adapted to the harsh conditions by becoming a pile of living sand."
  • Spiked Ice Slime: "This Ice Slime has large ice shards in its mass from excessive exposure to the cold. Somehow, it is able to launch these at its prey."
  • Spiked Jungle Slime: "Frequent consumption of the Jungle's toxins and thorns has resulted in a slime covered in venomous spikes."
  • Mother Slime: "Critical to the lifecycle of the slime species, these oversized jiggling masses are often found carrying their young deep underground."
  • Baby Slime: "Clinging tightly to their parents and rarely seen, these miniature slimes will swarm anyone who harms their mother."
  • Lava Slime: "Due to the heat of the underworld, these slimes have taken on the properties of lava. Slaying them is difficult and dangerous."
  • Dungeon Slime: "Slimes in the Dungeon became powerful by feeding off the cursed energy throughout the place. They seem particularly attracted to keys."
  • Pinky: "The smallest slime ever recorded, their extreme cellular density makes them incredibly durable for their small size. They eat money."
  • Ubrella Slime: "The previous owner of this umbrella learned the hard way: umbrellas are good protection against rain, but not against slime."
  • Windy Balloon: "Some enterprising slimes ride wind currents with balloons in an effort to find food. Pop their balloons to bring them back down to earth."
  • Toxic Sludge: "Distantly related to the common slime, the Toxic Sludge takes down its prey with potent toxins and a disarmingly toothy smile."
  • Corrupt Slime: "Steeped in the power of Corruption, these slimes can survive being cut apart into smaller pieces, unlike their untainted brethren."
  • Slimeling: "The still-animate severed pieces of an injured Corrupt Slime, Slimelings can still put up a fight, and have strength in numbers."
  • Slimer: "The Slimer has become airborne with wings of unknown origin. The wings are easily knocked off with force, depriving it of its flight."
  • Crimslime: "Taking on the consistency of congealed blood and flesh, Crimslimes seek out and digest more raw material for the Crimson."
  • Gastropod: "Touched by the blessing, these nocturnal slimes evolved into a levitating snail-like creature which spits powerful beams of light."
  • Illuminant Slimne: "Slimes exposed to the light of the Hallow's crystals begin to emit that very same light, glowing brightly in the darkness."
  • Rainbow Slime: "These blessing-infused gelatin menaces glow vibrantly in a rainbow of hues. As a result, they require a constant liquid intake."
