Black Slime

The Black Slime only spawns in the cavern layer, often accompanied by Mother Slimes. Like all slimes, they drop some Gel and Coins.

Due to its color, which blends slightly with the background of the Cavern Layer, this type of slime is hard to detect if the player isn't paying attention, or if the slime spawns in and moves out of a dark area. As such, it can often catch players off-guard.

As of 1.0.6. If you get hit, you have a chance of being applied with Darkness
