King Slime

The King Slime is a new mini-boss added in the 1.0.4 patch. As the King Slime takes damage, it slowly spawns additional slimes and also becomes smaller until defeated. The King Slime is considered a subspecies of Slimes in general because it uses the same AI and similar graphics.

Spawning
The King Slime appears spawn completely at random, it has been seen both above and below ground, during night and day. It has been theorized that the King Slime's spawning may require at least one person on the server to have some amount of current health, similar to the Goblin Invasion.

Strategy
The King Slime behaves exactly like a normal slime (it uses the slime ai), except that it spawns other slimes after being hurt by the player. Due to it's predictable nature, it is easy for a new player to defeat the mini-boss with even lower tier weapons. The only thing a new player should worry about is dodging the King Slime as it jumps about, as this could become a nasty fight very soon. To finish the mini-boss quickly, projectiles such as Shurikens or Bows are recommended.
