Boom Slimes are slimes that explode occasionally from time to time. They can spawn at any time and deal 15 damage if you are in their explosion radius.

Slimepedia Entry

Slimeology:
Boom Slimes are often heard before they're seen. The slime cells of a boom slime are constantly vibrating, causing their slime to increasingly crackle with energy before ultimately exploding. However, the boom slime always comes out unscathed, though always a little dazed.

Rancher Risks:
Boom slimes are constantly building toward an inevitable explosion, making them quite hazardous to ranchers. In addition to those explosions causing bodily harm, they also have the capacity to send all nearby slimes flying into the air, making them a hard slime to corral. To prevent them from exploding as often in corrals, you can purchase a music box to calm them down.

Plortonomics:
Highly volatile boom plorts have all sorts of applications, including powering rocket thrusters and demolitions. Military organizations value their highly destructive capabilities for "medical technology and other research". Imagine that!





Trivia

  • In Corrals, you can purchase a Music Box to calm them down. Unfortunately, it does not always work.
  • You need to throw a boom largo in the air as it explodes to get the Fireworks achievement.
  • The Boom Slime's Yellow "Cracks" aren't visible when they are dazed after an explosion. They will then appear as small cracks, then eventually become larger cracks and once the cracks are joined together, they will charge up towards explosion with a fuse sound effect.
  • Well fed slimes take up to three times the time to explode compared to starved slimes.
  • Provided an infinite amount of water you can prolongate the explosion indefinitely. The water seems to have a splash radius of about 1/4 of the corral. Ways to calm them down include using a Music Box, Feeding them (Needs confirmation) , or throwing Water before they explode, because it will cause the cracks to not "grow" and they will not explode for a longer duration. (Also needs confirmation)
  • Rad Boom Largos are usually called nukes as a joke, because Rad Slimes are Radioactive, and Boom Slimes blow up, just like a nuclear bomb.
  • The Boom Gordo found in The Ancient Ruins explodes rather than popping like all other Gordos.
    • This explosion contains a larger than normal number of boom slimes.

Changes

  • 0.3.3: Fix of a bug causing their explosions to be strong enough to blow smaller objects like food and Plorts through a corral.
  • 0.3.0: Visual improvement of their explosions; They now also spawn in the Indigo Quarry.
  • 0.2.4: Adjusted timing of their explosions.
  • Before 0.2.0: Added.
