Gordos	16 in the wild
Special Behavior or Properties	Completely stationary. Does not use the hunger system other Slimes use, instead it will sit and accept food that the source Slime can eat and will burst into 10 small slimes of its type along with Crates when fed enough. Tarr will not attack them. Wild Gordos always either have a Slime Key or will reveal a Static Teleporter All Gordos drop 2-3 Crates when burst.

Gordo Slimes are giant, stationary Slimes. They can not be directly interacted with nor can they be moved, but can be fed large amounts of Food to burst them.

There are currently 16 wild Gordos in specific areas in the Far, Far Range which can hold a Slime Key or reveal a Static Teleporter. Gordos can also be spawned on a Gadget Site by baiting a Gordo Snare with Food. Snared Gordos do not hold Keys.

Slimepedia Entry

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

A Gordo's standard loot consists of 10 Slimes of their type when burst, and will drop 2-3 Crates containing Food with the occasional slime or two, and may give a shower of Newbucks which are automatically added to the player's total amount, or simply just Slime Science Resources. Note that only select wild Gordos drop a crate with Slime Science Resources, but snared Gordos will always drop a crate containing them.

In addition to a Gordo's standard loot, 11 Wild Gordos also drop a Slime Key needed to unlock Slime Gates, and 5 sit on a Static Teleporter, two of which go to new areas: Ash Isle and Ring Island, and the final three are for player convenience.

Tips

• Pink Gordos require 30 food items, the Gold Gordo requires 3 Gilded Gingers, and 50 food items are required for other Gordos; though their base Slimes' favoured food will count as two units, potentially halving the required amount.
• Although Rancher Risks state that Gordos aren't dangerous, the Boom Gordo causes a large explosion when it bursts, and the Rad Gordo exudes a radiation aura that gets bigger the more it is fed.
• There are no naturally occuring Gold Gordos in the game; they can only be seen by snaring one with a Gordo Snare baited with Gilded Ginger, and can only be fed Gilded Ginger.
• The 16 wild Gordos in the game currently consist of: two Pink Gordos, two Rock Gordos, a Phosphor Gordo, two Tabby Gordos, a Quantum Gordo, a Boom Gordo, a Rad Gordo, a Honey Gordo, a Crystal Gordo, a Hunter Gordo, a Mosaic Gordo, a Tangle Gordo, and a Dervish Gordo.

Trivia

• Gordo is the Spanish/Portuguese word for fat.
  • "Gordo" is also the name of an enemy from the Kirby franchise.
  • The name is similar to Gorgo, an enemy from Nick's previous game Spiral Knights.
• Gordos previously required a lot more food to be fed to satisfaction: Pink Gordos required 50 Food items, and all other Gordos required 75; halved to 38 with a favorite.
• Gordo Slimes are one of the few slimes that cannot be consumed by Tarr; the others being Tarr themselves and Gold Slimes.
• Gordos equipped with a Fashion Pod will spawn slimes wearing the same Fashion Pod when burst.
• According to Nick Popovich, the way Tabby Gordos sit on the teleporters is similar to how cats would sit on warm objects.
• Lucky Slimes, Fire Slimes, Puddle Slimes, Saber Slimes and The Tarr do not have a Gordo counterpart.
  • The Saber Slime is the first corralable slime to hold this distinction.
• The first Pink Gordo appears to be on an island similar to the Moss Blanket.
