Pinky

Pinky is a rare slime which occasionally spawns in the Forest biome, as well as in the Underground and Cavern layers, where it is difficult to spot. Despite its small size, Pinky has more health and defense than nearly all other pre-Hardmode slimes, though it has one of the lowest damage values in the game, and is very easily knocked back. It is the only source of.

Tips

 * The most convenient time to find Pinky is during the event, due to the large quantity of slimes that appear.
 * The large amount of money it drops makes it a very valuable enemy in the early game, especially for attracting the Merchant to your town.
 * The Pink Gel that Pinky drops can be used to create Pink Torches, which can be crafted into a Peace Candle. This item might prove useful early-game, as it decreases enemy spawn rate. Less usefully (but still usefully in general ;D), Pink Gel is also used to craft Molotov Cocktails, which can be a very useful AoE weapon early-game.
 * Since Pinky is the smallest slime, using a Hunter Potion can be very useful if in dark areas like the Underground for finding or detecting them.

Trivia

 * Pinky's knockback resistance is tied with the for the lowest in the game, beating even the Slimer without wings at double the vulnerability.
 * Pinky and the Golden Slime are the only enemies in the game to have negative knockback resistance in.


 * Its Bestiary entry explains its generous nature.
