Red Slime

The Red Slime is a common enemy native to the Undergrounds. Unlike Orange Slimes, it is aggressive toward players and will enter combat when it spots one nearby. Red Slimes primarily spawn on Ground Slime placed in any biome, so clearing that terrain is the main way to prevent them from appearing in an area.

In combat, Red Slimes move like Orange Slimes: they hop in a short burst and then pause for a noticeable cooldown. That pause can be used to retreat or land several hits before the next jump. They deal a solid amount of damage early in the game, especially if the player has little or no armor, so fighting multiple Red Slimes at once can quickly become dangerous.

• Do not let several Red Slimes surround you early on, as they can overwhelm an undergeared player.
• Use their jump cooldown to create space or counterattack.
• Remove Ground Slime from places where you want to stop Red Slime spawns.
