'''Pink Slimes''' are the most common slimes found in Slime Rancher and are among the first [[Beatrix LeBeau|Beatrix]] will encounter. They are easily identified by their pink coloration and can spawn in practically any location outside of [[The Ranch]] - with the exception of [[Nimble Valley]] and [[The Wilds]] - at any time of the day.

==Behaviors==
 
Pink Slime's most notable trait which is unique to them is that they are the only true [[:wikipedia:Omnivore|omnivorous]] slime; they can eat ''all'' foods from the three main [[food]] types; Fruit, Meat, and Veggies. This makes them the easiest Slime to ranch. As a tradeoff, they do not have a favorite food unless converted to a [[Largo Slimes|Largo Slime]], with the exception of the [[Saber Slime|Pink Saber Largo]] - and their plorts have the lowest monetary value. On the contrary, their plorts are among the most valuable for [[Slime Science]].
 
 
Like other slimes, a pink slime mainly hops around aimlessly until it begins seeking out food when [[Hunger|hungry]], and will seek out [[plorts]] it does not produce to induce transformation into a [[Largo Slimes|largo]]. Pink slimes can respond in awe at a freshly-transformed largo and a slime activating a [[Slime Stage]], and pure slimes have the ability to [[Stacking|stack]] with other slimes unless it becomes a largo. A pink slime can be applied with [[Curios#Fashion Pods|Fashion Pods]] and can respond to [[Slime Toys]], with it favoring the Beach Ball or a [[Downloadable Content#Console Bundles|DLC Slime Toy]] if it is wearing its associated Fashion Pod.
 
 
They have no negative behaviors that become apparent when [[Agitation|agitated]].
 
 
==Tips==
 
*If a large number of regular Pink Slimes are kept in a [[Corral]] they will naturally form a totem. Having the High Walls, Air Net corral and the Music Box upgrades will help counter this to some extent, but it's recommended not to keep too many and to turn them into [[Largo Slimes|Largos]] instead for Plort variety, especially early in the game.
 
*Because Pink Slimes can eat all foods, any difficult-to-feed Slimes such as [[Tabby Slime]]s can be converted to Pink Largos to compensate.
 
**However, unless feeding Pink Largos favorite foods for [[Slime Science]] it may be more financially viable to convert them to Largos with a higher value Plort and a favorite food instead, such as a [[Largo Slimes|Phosphor Largo]].
 
*Despite being abundant and being of low monetary value, Pink Plorts are used in almost all [[Slime Science]] gadgets, making them a valuable resource once [[The Lab]] is unlocked.
 
*Feeding them with 10 different types of food to unlocks the [[Achievements|Omnivorous]] achievement.
 
 
==Changelog==
 
*'''Before 0.2.0''' - Added.
 
 
==Origin==
 
The Pink Slime's coloration being described as a "coral hue", and spawning from corals in [[The Dry Reef]] indicates that pink slimes may be a reference to [[:wikipedia:Precious_coral|precious coral]], an endangered species of coral that comes in red or pink hues which historically has been used for jewelry. However, since they spawn independently of the coral object, they may even be based on the [[:wikipedia:Polyp|Polyps]] that construct corals. The Pink Slime's unique omnivorous diet and its simplistic pink design may be a reference to Nintendo's [[:wikipedia:Kirby_(character)|Kirby]]. The Pink Slime's name may also be reference to the real-world meat by-product ''lean finely textured beef'', also known as [[:wikipedia:Pink_slime|pink slime]].
 
 
The Pink Slime's [[Secret Style Pack|Secret Style]] - Sparkly - is based on glitter. Due to it being a slime, it may also be based on glitter slime.
 
 
==Trivia==
 
*The Pink Slime's plortonomics description may be a reference to Spore's [[w:c:spore:Spice|Pink Spice]], as both Slime Rancher's pink plorts and Spore's pink spice are described to be used as sweeteners and floor cleaning products.
 
*Pink Gordos will always appear on Master Gordo Snares baited with food that is not favored by other slimes.
 
*The diversity of uses for Pink Plorts in the Slimepedia is probably a reference to the fact they eat Meat, Fruit, and Veggies. The usage of the Plorts in The Lab is also backing up this theory.
 
*The only place where Pink Slimes DON'T spawn (Besides [[The Ranch|Ranch]] areas) is Nimble Valley, as the only Slimes that spawn there are Quicksilver Slimes. VacPack slots are also swapped, so you can't bring them there, either.
 
*When in the wilds, they spawn largoed with saber slimes, and are always feral.
