Queen Slime

The Queen Slime is an Early-Hardmode Hallow-themed boss. Its appearance is that of a massive pinkish-violet slime wearing a tiara with what seems to be an enlarged, more crystalized version of a Gelatin Crystal inside it.

Spawning
Queen Slime can be spawned by using a Gelatin Crystal. This can be done in the Hallow at any time.

Gelatin Crystal can be found in the Underground Hallow mixed with Crystal Shards.

The Gelatin Crystals appear to change colors from pink to blue in a loop.

Behavior
The Queen Slime jumps around in a similar fashion to King Slime, though much faster. It periodically summons Crystal Slimes which shoot crystals as it takes damage. After a few jumps, it does one of two things:


 * Will stay in one place for a few seconds, before jumping very fast towards you, dealing high damage.
 * Will stay in one place for a few seconds, before firing 6 crystal projectiles that break upon impact with a tile. Sometimes it will perform this attack multiple times in a row.

When at 50% health, the Queen Slime will grow wings and begin to fly like a Slimer. Its AI also changes:
 * Instead of firing crystals from itself in 6 directions, it will periodically launch these projectiles towards you.
 * Occasionally attempts to fly right above you and fall down onto you.

Before it grows wings, Queen Slime is also capable of teleporting to you if it can't reach you, like King Slime. When it gets down to 1/3 health, it will fly away and drop slimes.
