Slimepedia Entry
About:
Prickle pears are as tough as the Glass Desert itself; having a thick, leathery, skin and covered in sharp barbs, they're an 'aquired taste' to be sure. But those put forth the cautious effort will find one of the sweetest fruits in the known universe hiding within.
On the Ranch:
Deposit a prickle pear into a garden's depositor and you'll grow a large prickle pear tree of your very own. This tree will last for several harvests.
Tips
- Prickle Pears are easy to grow and harvest while Dervish Plorts are high in value, making it one of the best Fruit/Slime combinations in the game financially. It shares this trait with the Mosaic Slime and its favoured veg, the Silver Parsnip.
Trivia
- Prickle Pears are a visual pun on the Prickly Pear cactus.
- They ironically seem to visually resemble the average pear more than the actual prickly pear.
- Although the Prickle Pear has not been the Rock Slime's favoured food since before Update 0.2.0, the "Rancher's Rundown" and early art on the page on the Monomi Park website still indicates this.
