Ground Slime

Ground Slime is a natural spawning tile found in the Undergrounds. It functions as a slime-producing surface and has a chance to create Orange Slimes and Red Slimes each time a spawn event occurs. Because it is a terrain tile rather than a crafted object, it commonly appears as part of slime-infested areas and can also be created indirectly by certain bosses.

Standing on Ground Slime reduces movement speed by 50%, making it a significant hazard in combat and exploration. The slowdown can make it harder to dodge attacks, retreat from dangerous enemies, or keep pace while navigating crowded Underground areas.

Ground Slime is also associated with boss activity: Glurch the Abominous Mass and Ghorm the Devourer both leave trails of Ground Slime as they move. These trails can expand the area affected by the tile and create additional slime-spawning zones in places where the bosses travel.

• Use caution when fighting on or near Ground Slime, since the movement penalty can make melee combat and repositioning more difficult.
• The tile’s spawn behavior means it can sustain nearby slime populations over time, especially in Underground regions where slimes are already present.
• Trails left by Glurch the Abominous Mass and Ghorm the Devourer can leave hazardous patches behind even after the boss has moved on, so their routes may remain dangerous.
• If you are trying to traverse an area quickly, avoiding Ground Slime is often worth the detour because the speed reduction is substantial.
