StackingSlimes

Stacking is a behavior exclusive to pure slimes where two or more slimes may stack on top of each other when in close proximity. They can form or break stacks at any time, and will actively try to break stacks when inflicted by Fear, usually around Tarr. Slimes may even spawn in specific spots already stacked.

Largo Slimes cannot stack, thus pure slimes lose the ability to do so when converted.
