King Slime

The King Slime is the new Mini-Boss in version 1.0.4

The King Slime is a random mini boss that can be found in caves and on the surface. It has about 2000 HP when spawned. When you have done some damage to it, small slimes break off and King Slime gets progressively smaller. He drops a piece of the Ninja set as a slightly rare drop. (100% chance of getting any ninja piece, but what ninja piece you get is completely random.)

The chance of a King Slime appear in the place of any other slime is 1:300. Water Candles DO improve the spawn chance of King Slime.

A good way to quickly get a King Slime to spawn is to make a brand new map, get to one of the end sides (You must be about 1/3 away from your respawn point) and stop in the last place with grass dirt blocks before the sand. Hold a Water Candle and good luck! Remember that doing this doesn't give you 100% chance of a King Slime spawn, but a minor percentage (Like 0.47%). If you wait long enough you may have more than 1 King Slime at a Time.

Trivia
If you look closely in the center of the King Slime you'll see there is a humanoid mob trapped in there. This is a ninja, explaining why the King Slime drops the ninja outfit.
