Slimeology:

It's unknown if rad slimes, sometimes called 'raddies,' came to be from external radiation sources or from something naturally occurring within the Far, Far Range. Regardless, rad slimes emit such a potent aura of radiation they glow in the dark!

Rancher Risks:

A rad slime's radioactive aura can induce rad poisoning to a rancher if they remain within it for too long. Ranchers are advised to monitor their rad exposure levels when handling these green globs of gamma goo as extended exposure can cause serious bodily harm, or worse.

Plortonomics:

Given that raddies are basically mobile batteries, it's no surprise that corporations value rad plorts for their incredible energy-producing capabilities. Most rad plorts get turned into 'plortonium' and everything from the latest holophone to a radwave microcook system runs on the stuff.

Tips

 * When your radiation level reaches 100 you will begin taking damage if you remain within the rad aura. Your health goes down 10 at a time.
 * The more rad auras you stand in at one time the quicker the radiation poisoning bar fills up.


 * When a normal slime becomes a Rad Largo, it becomes radioactive too.
 * You can use Water to remove their radioactivity for 20 seconds. This is useful when you want to collect their plorts without getting rad poisoning. Strangely, you can't remove a Rad Gordo's radiation with a single drop of water.
