Boom Slimes are slimes that occasionally explode.
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.
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!
Tips[]
- The Boom Slime's appearance indicates how close the slime is to exploding. Soon after it explodes, its cracks are not visible and become a dull red. It regains its bright red coloration soon after, and the veins become more pronounced and its core becomes more fiery over time, indicating another imminent explosion.
- Water may be used to temporarily halt explosions for 20 seconds.
- Well fed Boom Slimes take up to three times longer to explode compared to starved slimes.
- Purchasing a Music Box can help reduce their rate of agitation, and by extension reduce how often they explode.
Origin[]
Boom Slimes are based on the concept of bombs. Their glowing core and red coloration is also reminiscent of Blast Cubes from Nick's previous game, Spiral Knights. Their explosions have a similar swirl pattern to the Proto Bomb.

Trivia[]
- Despite appearing similar to the Fire Slime, Boom Slimes are susceptible to getting incinerated by the Incinerator.
