Slimes are the most common enemy type. They come in multiple sizes and colors, each with different health and damage. All slimes follow basic Slime AI and attack by hopping onto the player. When a slime is preparing to hop, it bobs up and down rapidly. Slimes float in water.
Slimes spawned on or near the surface are usually neutral and do not chase the player during the day, unless provoked. They become hostile at night. Slimes spawned underground are always hostile. Green, Blue, Red, Purple and Yellow Slimes usually spawn on or near the surface. Mother Slime, Baby Slime, and Black Slime can only be found underground. Pinky may appear anywhere, although rarely.
All types drop 1-2 Gel, except for Corrupt Slime, which drops 2-4 gel, Lava Slime, which drops no gel, and Pinky, which drops Pink Gel. Gel is a vital ingredient, as it crafts Torches, which are of use throughout all stages of the game. As of 1.3, regular Slimes, except Dungeon Slime, will sometimes drop a potion or other bonus item on death, and this item will be shown inside the slime's body.
Quick Answers
What is the behavior of slimes in Terraria?
In Terraria, slimes exhibit a similar set of behavior. They chase the player by jumping towards them and can float on water. They are also capable of jumping up to higher platforms, but they cannot drop down from them. Most of the slimes take damage from lava. However, they will be passive towards any player with the Royal Gel accessory equipped. Other slimes, like the Lava Slime, are exclusive to specific environments like The Underworld.

What are some special slimes that appear during the Halloween and Christmas events in Terraria?
In Terraria, special slimes appear during the Halloween and Christmas events to add a festive touch to the game. During Halloween, you might encounter a Slime in a Bunny costume, adding a fun and spooky twist to the usual enemies. When Christmas rolls around, the game features Present Slimes, which are perfectly gift-wrapped bundles of slime. These include the White Present Slime and the Green Present Slime, both of which are wonderfully deadly presents for any festive occasion. So, whether it's Halloween or Christmas, Terraria ensures that the slimes are dressed for the occasion!

What are slime drops in Terraria and what can they be used for?
In Terraria, slimes drop a variety of items that can be used for different purposes. Most of the Slimes drop Gel and Slime Staff, but there are some exceptions. For instance, The King Slime can drop a range of items including the Slime Hook, Slime Gun, and Royal Gel. The Red Slime and other slimes can also drop bonus items if you're lucky. The Dungeon Slime is unique in that it always drops a Golden Key when defeated, which can be used to unlock certain chests in the Dungeon. Remember, slimes will be passive towards any player with the Royal Gel accessory equipped, so it's a handy item to have!

Notes
- Coin drop rates will vary.
- Nearly all Slimes can drop the Slime Staff upon death, however it's extremely rare (with a drop rate at 0.01%).
- Smaller Slimes may clip through walls and one block holes. Make your house carefully or else Slimes may be able to get in.
- Farming Slimes with a Slime Statue can produce an infinite amount of Gel, which can be helpful for the Flamethrower.
- Aside from the console and mobile exclusive Shadow Slime, no Hardmode slime variant drops the Slime Banner.
