Black Slimes are a variety of slime that only spawn in the Cavern layer. When a Black Slime attacks, it has a chance to inflict the Darkness debuff, which decreases the radius that light sources will illuminate, making it more difficult to see.

Like most other slimes, the Black Slime will be passive towards any player with the Royal Gel accessory equipped.

On PC version PC, Console version Console, Mobile version Mobile, Old Chinese version Old Chinese, 3DSNintendo 3DS version, tModLoader version tModLoader, and tModLoader 1 tModLoader Legacy, they can rarely be found carrying bonus drops, which the player receives upon the slime's death.

Notes[]

  • Similar to Mother and Baby Slimes, the Black Slime blends slightly with the background of the Cavern layer, making it difficult to detect. As such, it can often catch players off-guard.

  • Despite Black Slimes inflicting the Darkness debuff, they do not drop the Blindfold.
