Ice Slime Glitch

So I think that the page should be changed because on my world Ice Slimes do drop gel. This might be a bug but I was unsure because it was consistant with every world even after uninstalling and re-installing Terraria.

Overpowered Slimes
So a few minutes back I encountered some green slimes that did 95 damage, and had about 388 health. This was in a Expert+Hardmode world, at first I thought it'd be a bug, but after making after making a new world for testing purposes, I found that the slimes stay relatively week in Expert mode, Pre-Hardmode. But after killing the Wall of Flesh and thus entering Hardmode the slimes in this world also changed to a stronger being. In this case they did a 'mere' 36 damage on average and had about 276 health. Have other people encountered these randomly strengthened slimes, or is this just some weird clientsided bug? --SlyVortex 17:12, 13 September 2015
 * Reports of this are common, and it is intended. Enemies are empowered in Expert mode, even moreso in expert hardmode. They also scale with the number of players present. Gearzein (talk) 15:30, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Good to hear it's not another bug on my client :]
 * It just really surprised me as this wasn't noted anywhere (as far as I could find, that is) --SlyVortex  21:32, 13 September 2015

Slime drop infoboxes
People keep adding slime drop infoboxes back to their wiki pages, and I'm not sure I disagree with the practice. Can we reverse the policy of omitting the drop rates from slimes on their respective pages? It's not being done with any other enemy group, and with the increased diversity in slimes lately they aren't dominated by simple palette swaps any more. --Theothersteve7 16:22, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Slimes floating upstream, bug or no bug?
I don't think its really a bug, it would actually make sense that it floats upstream. (Just slower)

Should it be an anomaly?

Lava Slime and Gel
I've never seen a Lava Slime dropping gel on death. Is it just me, or should the page be amended?
 * This should be amended. Let me check if it hasn't already. If not, I'll change it. —Awesome_Diamonds 18:43, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Dropped Slime Banner
So I've currently setup a pre-hardmode slime farm just to test what happens in the new update, and it that every 50 slimes killed a messages pops up where text normally comes up, and the player receives a slime banner straight to their inventory, it is not dropped on the ground.

Bonus drops on mobile
It appears that mobile may indeed have some Bonus drops. I would like to compile a list of them here. If the drops are the same as on desktop, we should add the Desktop-Mobile banner to the Bonus drops section.


 * I think mobile has everything (except Wormhole Potion, which already has a ). I will now put the desktop-mobile only. —Awesome_Diamonds 18:42, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Rare slime drops?
While fighting King Slime in a slime rain, I found a Blue slime with an Emote, just like a NPC, and it dropped a Blue Dungeon Wall (the world has a blue Dungeon). This was on a medium Expert world. Unfortunately, I have no screenshot from it... Anyone can confirm this? –213.211.139.28 20:39, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * That was very likely a bug. 85.76.18.209 06:23, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Slimes behaving weirdly
Today, when i was exploring caves, i saw purple particles coming from a cave. The particles moved around and sometimes stood in a place. When they stood in a place, they looked bit like the Demon Scythe projectiles, but only smaller. When i entered the cave, i saw that a Red Slime was source of these particles. After that, i also saw a Green Slime emitting these weird particles as well. This doesn't seem to happen to statue-spawned slimes. What do these particles mean? Has anyone else seen that kind of behavior in a slime? 85.76.18.209 06:23, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Do you own any minions or use them? —ϟ Awesome_Diamonds ϟ  「talk」 13:09, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * When i encountered the green slime, i had one imp minion summoned, but when i encountered the red slime, i had no active minions.85.76.19.202 15:14, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * You wouldn't happen to be using the or  would you? I see all enemies emitting red heart particles due to the Valentine's Event. –  ReedemtheD3ad!  ( talk ) 17:14, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * No, i was playing on and these particles didn't look like hearts, they looked more like purple trails. And they didn't appear on all enemies, only on those two slimes. 193.210.230.223 17:29, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah, well in that case, are you using any mods? If not, it may be a bug. You should take some screenshots and report it to the forums. – ReedemtheD3ad!  ( talk ) 18:25, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Just to be clear, RtD is talking about the minion targeting particles. I finally got around to making some decent screenshots and put them on Summon weapons. --MentalMouse42 (talk) 12:02, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Yep, i looked at those screenshots and they looked exactly like the particles i saw on the two slimes. 85.76.66.73 12:58, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah, I didn't think about those. Thanks MentalMouse42!– ReedemtheD3ad!  ( talk ) 14:46, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Hoppin' Jack's presence on this page
Do we really need Hoppin' Jack here? The only similarity is the AI, nothing else.
 * No, it should be removed as the Grasshopper also uses the Slime AI and is nothing like a slime and is not included. AI types are not directly related to enemy type. Thank you for pointing that out! – ReedemtheD3ad!  ( talk ) 21:33, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
