Lava Slime

The Lava Slime is a Slime type monster that spawns in the underworld. It gives off an orange glow with fire particles, similar to that of Meteor Armor and Molten Armor.

When killed, the slime melts into one square of lava which can prove hazardous to players attacking at melee range. Lava Slimes also take no damage from lava and float on it like regular Slimes do on water, except that Lava Slimes bounce very high into the air on contact with lava, instead of gently bouncing up and down like normal slimes.

Given that Lava Slimes drop no loot and release dangerous lava when killed, it is advised to avoid them whenever possible.

Patch Notes

 * 1.0.5: Introduced.
 * 1.0.6 (Unreleased): Lava Slimes will no longer drop lava upon death.
