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. Both Pinks, Phosphor, Rad, and Honey Gordos each drop a Slime Key; both Tabbies and both Rocks instead reveal teleporters that they were sitting on. The first Tabby and the first Rock Gordo allow quick and easy access back to the ranch from the end of the Dry Reef or Indigo Quarry respectively. The second Tabby Gordo lets you access the Arch Island, and the second Rock Gordo lets you access the Volcano Island.

Locations
Pink Gordo: Note: Both are found within the Dry Reef.


 * First one: 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.

Boom Gordo: 

Near the end of the Ancient Ruins. TBD

Quantum Gordo: 

Near the end of the Ancient Ruins. TBD

Tips

 * You are required to have 45 food items (50 on older versions) to satisfy the Pink Gordos, and 65 (75 on older versions) for other Gordos (if you feed only its favorite food item it will burst in 33 food items). 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 nine Gordo slimes in the game: Two Pink Gordos; 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, Boom Gordo is, but only when it's popped, since it creates a huge explosion, and Rad Gordo, since being a Rad Slime, it exudes a radiation aura big enough to fill the entire room it's in. Be careful, or you'll take damage. Additionally, unlike its smaller counterparts, water will not remove their damaging effect.
 * Also, the more it's fed, the bigger its aura becomes.

Trivia

 * Gordo is the Spanish/Portuguese/Brazillian 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, and Gold Slimes.
 * If you put a fashion pod on them, all of the slimes that come out of it when it bursts will wear it too.
 * According to Nick Popovinch, the way Tabby Gordos sit on the teleporters is similar to how cats would sit on warm objects.
