==Strategy==

When a slime is hit, it will be knocked back a short distance, out of range of melee [[weapons]]. The best strategy to kill slimes is to quickly reach them to striking distance to prevent their charge attack, and corner them against a wall or, ideally, in a corner (of walls, rocks, or both). Both the charged and regular attacks may be avoided by using a defensive move (such as the block of the regular sword). Timing a block with a sword well can allow the player to get a decent amount of damage in. Otherwise, offense is the best defense.

The [[Slime Charmer Ring]] prevents all damage from Slimes. This ring is obtained as a reward for killing 1000 slimes for the [[Adventurer%27s_Guild#Monster_Eradication_Goals|Adventurer's Guild]].

==Male Slimes==

==Male Slimes==

Any slimes have a 49% chance to be male and will retain its original properties such as being special. Male slimes have a pom-pom like antenna dangling above their "heads", 25% more health over the base HP, and 1 more damage. When it is passive and is attacked, male slimes have a 2.5% chance to increase its damage by 50% and do a shaking animation.

There's a very small chance for a male and female slime to mate in [[the Mines]] and create a small slime - the same as the ones created when a big slime is killed.

Big Slimes have the same attack behavior as the smaller slimes. When killed they'll often split into 2-5 smaller slimes which will attack the player.

In addition to the drops list above, the color of each variation is random and may have additional drops depending on the color range chosen.

Color groups are mutually exclusive, and listed in the order the game tests for them.  (For example, a slime may fall into the White and Gray categories, but White is tested for first, so the slime would drop Iron Ore and not Stone).
