However besides that and the fact its pure forms don't spawn at all, it carries nothing else to call it a special case. And if going solely by biome exclusive, both honeys and crystals would be special as well, despite following all the standard "rules" laid out by the game regarding the slimes. The other 2 which would be more applicable, and it only comes down to their less standard care requirements would be puddles and fires. However if counting by their unique death outside of the proper environment, phosphors would also fit. If counting only by unique diets, one would either need to arbitrarily exclude pinks or count pinks as special. And if a pink is special due to its 1 niche, the same logic would apply to every single slime. Same goes for phosphors as noted above.

Compare this to unique mechanics regarding a slime beyond its direct abilities (despawn and reward factors of the lucky and gold glitch and quicksilver or gordos), being unranchable (for every one of them except largos), or being event exclusive (party gordo or twinkle) and the point begins to become mute.
