Not to be confused with Slimes or Pet Slime.

Town Slimes are a type of town pet. They can be moved in by players, similar to the Town Cat, Town Dog, and Town Bunny. They also count for Pylon requirements and reduce enemy spawn rate, and do not affect NPC happiness in any way.

Types[]

There are 8 different town slimes and each is unlocked in a different way:

Slime	Spawn conditions	Map Icon
Nerdy Slime Internal NPC ID: 670	Moves in after killing King Slime.
Cool Slime Internal NPC ID: 678	May move in during naturally generated Parties.
Elder Slime Internal NPC ID: 679	Moves in after beating Skeletron and unlocking an Old Shaking Chest in the Cavern Layer with a Golden Key. Detectable with the Lifeform Analyzer.
Clumsy Slime Internal NPC ID: 680	Can be found as a Clumsy Balloon Slime near floating islands in the Space Layer which must be shot down. Detectable with the Lifeform Analyzer.
Diva Slime Internal NPC ID: 681	Moves in after throwing a Sparkle Slime Balloon into Shimmer.
Surly Slime Internal NPC ID: 682	Can be fished up during a Blood Moon. Name appears when using Sonar Potion.
Mystic Slime Internal NPC ID: 683	Moves in after using Purification Powder on a Mystic Frog in the Jungle surface. Detectable with the Lifeform Analyzer.
Squire Slime Internal NPC ID: 684	Moves in after dropping a Copper Helmet or a Copper Shortsword on a Slime.

Notes[]

The Nerdy Slime requires killing King Slime again if he has already been defeated on a world prior to 1.4.4.
The Cool Slime cannot spawn during a party started with a Party Center.
NPC Slimes are not required for the Princess NPC to spawn.
The Diva Slime's animated sprite cycles through rainbow colors.
The Diva Slime can only be spawned by throwing a single Sparkle Slime Balloon into the shimmer. A stack will not work.
The Squire Slime cannot actually hit enemies, as referenced in its bestiary entry.
The Squire Slime can only be transformed on most smaller, normal slimes. Gastropod and the Hoppin' Jack (which is not a slime) will not work, but statue-spawned ones will. Transforming the slime will destroy the item used.
- Only the slimes with the types 1, 333, 335, 336, 302, and 334 can be transformed into the Squire Slime:

Jungle Slime
Internal NPC ID: -10
Yellow Slime
Internal NPC ID: -9
Red Slime
Internal NPC ID: -8
Purple Slime
Internal NPC ID: -7
Black Slime
Internal NPC ID: -6
Baby Slime
Internal NPC ID: -5
Pinky
Internal NPC ID: -4
Green Slime
Internal NPC ID: -3
Blue Slime
Internal NPC ID: 1
White Present Slime
Internal NPC ID: 333
Green Present Slime
Internal NPC ID: 335
Red Present Slime
Internal NPC ID: 336
Bunny Slime
Internal NPC ID: 302
Yellow Present Slime
Internal NPC ID: 334

If one does not have the necessary copper items and cannot find any in the world, they must be secured with a variety of other ways, such as creating another non-Journey character for the sword, import copper from other worlds, fish for them in crates, throw Tin into Shimmer or the Chlorophyte Extractinator.

To add them to the bestiary you have to interact with them.
Town Slimes can't be transformed by Shimmer.

Trivia[]

All town slimes' quotes are incomprehensible gibberish but generally tend to be onomatopoeia associated with amorphous entities.
“Drip!”, a quote by the Cool Slime, may both reference the alternate form to say "drop" and the slang ”drip”, a term to refer to someone's cool sense of style.
Most of the slimes' quotes make refferences to bubbles, splashing and gluggling sounds.
Slival, a possible name of the Squire Slime, may be a reference to the antagonist/anti-hero of the Dragon Quest spin-off Rocket Slime, an RPG where most of the characters are slimes.
All slimes’ names begin with the letter “S”.
One of the Squire Slime's names is Samsara. A samsara is an endless cycle of life, death, and reincarnation, which is present in the concepts of Buddhism and Hinduism.
One of the Mystic Slime's quotes, "Bubble bubble! Boil glubble!", is most likely a reference to the witches' incantation from Shakespeare's Macbeth.
One of the names of the Surly Slime is Smeagol. This is a reference to Gollum from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Bestiary entries

Cool Slime: "Easily the coolest slime around, no question. You can tell from the backwards hat and indecipherable slang."
Clumsy Slime: "This slime was a little confused when the other slimes started putting on hats and accessories. But it did its best."
Nerdy Slime: "Just a smidge cleverer than other slimes, this slime discovered how to coexist with humans. The secret: accessorizing!"
Surly Slime: "Irascible and insufferable, this grumpy slime is probably up to no good. Probably. It's the thought that counts, really."
Elder Slime: "Older, though not necessarily wiser, the other slimes look up to the Elder Slime. If it survived this long, it must know something!"
Diva Slime: "Born of the combined energies of Shimmer and the Queen Slime, this slime is full of boundless energy and enthusiasm! And so fancy!"
Mystic Slime: "This slime knows that great witches wear impressive hats, but it only found a droopy one. Might explain the backfired polymorph!"
Squire Slime: "A hero amongst slimes, it wields the greatest arms and armor known to its kind. It doesn't actually know how to use them, but it's a start."
