Black Slime

Black Slimes are a variety of slime that only spawn in the Cavern layer. When a Black Slime attacks, it has a chance to inflict the Darkness debuff, which decreases the radius that light sources will illuminate, making it more difficult to see.

Tips

 * A Hunter Potion can be used to detect Black Slimes, as the slime will turn red in the dark.
 * Using a Night Owl Potion can counter the Darkness debuff Black Slimes inflict.

Trivia

 * It is the only slime that does not drop its own color of Gel.
 * Despite Black Slimes inflicting the Darkness debuff, they do not drop the Blindfold.
