boop Beatrix with a pounce |
A Pounce is an non-hostile action certain slimes can perform where it stops to wiggle before making a jump in either the player's direction, or towards food.
When a slime makes contact with the player by pouncing, it is referred to as a boop.
Sometimes the slimes pounce when facing the opposite way. If it is one of the Feral Slimes then it will keep you on your toes.
Variations[]
There are currently three variations of the action performed by different slimes in Slime Rancher. In Slime Rancher 2 the Tabby, Hunter, Cotton & Ringtail Slime can perform this action.
Tabby Slime[]
The Tabby Slime performs the most basic form of the pounce. Due to it being a common slime, and being the the first slime that performs it that players will ever encounter, it is most well known for it.
Hunter Slime[]
The Hunter Slime's variant is much the same as the Tabby Slime's, only it cloaks itself when doing so.
Saber Slime[]
The Saber Slime is capable of bouncing off walls in order to change direction in midair towards its intended target.
Tips[]
- Harmful largo variants of Tabbies, Hunters, and Sabers are still able to perform a pounce, turning an otherwise cute behavior into a dangerous one.
- Allowing a Tabby Slime or Saber Largo to pounce at Beatrix unlocks the Boop! Achievement. Hunter Slimes/Largos, and pounces used to jump at food do not count towards this achievement.

Changelog[]
- (Unknown) - Saber Hunter largos now appropriately go invisible when readying a pounce.
- Before 0.2.0 - Implemented.
Trivia[]
- All slimes able to pounce all belong to the Feline Slimes category.
- (Only applies to Slime Rancher. In Slime Rancher 2, the Cotton Slime and Ringtail Slime can pounce despite not being Feline Slimes)
- The second jump Saber Slimes make is internally referred to as "parkour".
