Slimeology:

Gordo Slimes are a rare phenomenon that occurs when multiple slimes of the same type congregate. The result is that the slimes seem to merge together into a much larger slime that is seemingly incapable of movement.

A gordo will eat until it bursts, causing all the slimes to separate once more, as well as revealing whatever object it was that caused the gordo to form in the first place.

Rancher Risks:

Gordos pose no real risk to ranchers, they can only sometimes be a nuisance in that they are hiding something a rancher might need. So if you see a gordo, feed it!

Plortonomics: Gordos produce no plorts on their own, however the slimes they produce after bursting do like any normal slime.

Rewards
After popping, the Gordos give 1-3 crates, food and several regular versions of the kind of slime it is. The Pink, second Tabby, Phosphor, Rad, and Honey Gordos each drop a Slime Key; the first Tabby and first Rock instead reveal teleporters that they were sitting on, allowing quick and easy access back to the ranch from the end of the Dry Reef or Indigo Quarry. The second Rock is special, as instead of revealing a teleporter or a slime key, it bursts into three gold slimes (as well as other things Gordos reward you with).

Locations
Pink Gordo: While walking on the ledge going towards the second area of the Dry Reef, there is a section of fence cut out. Go into the hole in the fence, and directly ahead the Pink Gordo will be sitting on an island.

Rock Gordos: 

Note: Both are found within the Indigo Quarry.
 * 1) After exiting the entrance tunnel to the cave section (after the first area), there is a Rock Gordo sitting in front of you at the back of the circular area.
 * 2) There is another hidden behind a rock/diamond face, behind the area you have to fly over the broken bridge to get to. It is accessible by the ramp on the side. It is on the left side of the pit it is in.

Phosphor Gordo: After going through the tunnel in the Dry Reef (after the place where you first see Rock Slimes), turn left. There is a short wall. Jump over it. After landing on the ground instead of going forward, turn around and head into the cave in the rock face. The Phosphor Gordo is inside.

Tabby Gordo: Note: Both are found within the Dry Reef. Rad Gordo: At the end of one of the tunnels in the wall in the cave area of the Indigo Quarry.
 * 1) At the end of the Dry Reef, where the bridge leading to the Moss Blanket is, turn right and the Tabby Gordo will be sitting in a hole in the rock, on top of a teleporter.
 * 2) After you unlock the sandy area after the feral rock canyon there it is. It's like target practice, though, as it's a little way off the beach, on its own island.

Honey Gordo: In the second area of the Moss Blanket, there is a small grey cliff with the Honey Gordo on top. You can get up there by means of jetpack or by using the small walkway that protrudes from the outer edge around to the Gordo.

Tips

 * It requires 50 food items to satisfy the Pink and the Tabby Gordo, 70 for the Phosphor, and 75 for the Honey. Others seem to require 75 as well, but have yet to be properly tested. Items of the Gordo's favorite food count as double the amount of food(the pink gordo does not have a favorite). Once fed to satisfaction, a Gordo will explode, providing a reward.
 * Currently, there are eight Gordo slimes in the game: Pink Gordo; two Rock Gordos; Phosphor Gordo; two Tabby Gordos; Rad Gordo and a Honey Gordo. Get ready to feed them!
 * Although Rancher Risks state that Gordos aren't dangerous, Rad Gordo is, since being a Rad Slime, it exudes a rad aura big enough to fill the entire room it's in. Be careful, or you'll take damage.
 * Also, the more it's fed, the bigger it's aura becomes.

Trivia

 * Gordo is the Spanish word for fat, hence the gordos' chubbiness.
 * They are the only slimes in the game that cannot be eaten by The Tarr, other than The Tarr themselves, Gold Slimes and Lucky Slimes.
