Saber Slimes are carnivorous slimes introduced with The Wilds update. They are found exclusively as Largo Slimes.
Slimepedia Entry
Slimeology:
Though believed to be long extinct, the saber slime lives on through the largo slimes in The Wilds. Saber slimes were believed to be one of the fiercest predators during the Jellassic Period of the Far, Far Range, a time when gigantic slimes roamed the planet.
Though saber slimes are carnivores, the largos in The Wilds display a curious habit of bundling the rare kookadoba fruit into bundles of sticks, mud, and slime that become rock-hard in time. Only Ogden's specially engineered kookacrackers are capable of breaking them.
Rancher Risks:
Most saber slime largos found in The Wilds are feral, looking to take a bite out of whatever they see. They're also incredibly agile for slimes, capable of powerful jumps that allow them to bound off other surfaces before targeting their prey.
If you encounter a horde of feral saber slime largos, watch your back so you don't get flanked!
Plortonomics:
Saber plorts are collected for their historical value, offering a window into the primitive past of the Far, Far Range. Some slime scientists have tried to extract the slime DNA from these plorts in order to recreate a true saber slime, but all have failed. And honestly, that's probably for the better, because as soon as that happens some charming billionaire would be talking about making a whole theme park to view them in captivity and then...

Trivia
- The Slimepedia Entry mentioning the "Jellasic Period, a time when gigantic slimes roamed the planet", refers to the real-world Jurassic time period of Earth; one of the most widely known time periods of the ancient age due to the presence - and evidence - of dinosaurs. "Gigantic slimes" reference the megafauna that were once far more abundant in those times.
- The Plortonomics section in the Slimepedia Entry references the movie Jurassic Park.
- Saber Slimes themselves seem to be be based off any number of saber-tooth cat species, an extinct relative of the modern big cat. Appearing exclusively in largo form while their pure slime variants are extinct references this.
- Some Largo variants also physically resemble walruses.
- Before their release, the roadmap entry for the Saber Slime stated:
Though the original saber slimes are long-extinct, their lineage lives on in the feral largos that inhabit the Wilds. But watch out! These primal slimes would like nothing more than to make you their lunch! - Saber largos will occasionally spawn upside down.
