King Slime as a Person(Ninja) inside him,in the picture he doesn't have,can somebody upload a picture of the Slime WITH the Ninja on him? --MadPedro 19:21, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Evidence toward the ninja inside King Slime
I'm compiling a list of evidence to show the ninja inside the King Slime, this is a work in progress but it's in Discussion so it should be fine here.

Found a youtube video with the ninja inside, I'm going to search for the ninja sprite to see if I can find it.

Video 1

I apologize about the video policy, and these are just links to the videos. I submitted these two for evidence of the "Trivia".
 * The second video has a link to a "cheat" on it, I would recommend it is removed. Let's see if we can find a better example of the ninja inside and then embed it. I'm not sure the explanation of "how the game does it" is necessary. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  04:00, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I removed the 2nd, didn't realize that. It wasn't as clear anyways. Also I just wanted to push down "External Links" without having nothing but white space. So the text is there to fill in the white space I guess~ I just didn't like how it looked with all the open space around it so filled it in with how the game does it. Looked more... complete I guess? -- ❤Kalilla❤ 04:11, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Alright, I finally figured out how to get it to pop (took long enough... sorry). I can embed the video on the front page under trivia if you would like Wynthyst. Here it is:


 * Also, if I do post it on the main page should it be this?


 * King Slime with Ninja Clearly Visible (youtube)


 * Or maybe a picture rather than a video? I think there are enough pictures on the front page and I don't think it would provide a clearer version than the one I created. -- ❤Kalilla❤ 02:58, 15 June 2011 (UTC)


 * How much evidence is really necessary? Can readers not just take the word of the many people who have fought the king slime that there is indeed a ninja inside it? As soon as you see one you can clearly see the poor rookie ninja who messed with it and got semi-digested. 78.105.8.153 23:16, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Which picture?
Should we use the picture with or without the ninja inside of him? It seems to make more sense to include the ninja, since that's what players will see in the game. --Theothersteve7 18:41, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * As the user who uploaded the image I would have to say no, as it isn't exactly official since I created the image myself. Now, if the community doesn't mind that it isn't an official sprite then sure, I have no problem with that then. It's just I created that image using layers and transparency to give it a look more clear to what the trivia is trying to tell. In game it doesn't seem to be this clear at all, but I wanted the Ninja to stand out just a little more than the game suggests is all :) Maybe an admin/mod can give us their opinion on the matter whether or not the monster sprite should remain as is or not. -- ❤Kalilla❤ 23:24, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Who do you think you're defeating?
I just wanted to throw this out there, who do you think your actually fighting. With the evidence of the ninja inside the slime it cant help but to bring up the question who really is the target here? True, the name is King Slime, but that doesn't exactly mean the slime is under its own power. Maybe a Ninja possessed the slime and is attacking you/your group and when you defeat it you defeat the ninja leaving behind one of his armor pieces as he escapes death! lol, as silly as it sounds just wanted to throw that out there. -- ❤Kalilla❤ 23:30, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It strikes me as more likely that the seemingly dead or paralysed ninja inside the king slime is in the process of being slowly digested... 78.105.8.153 23:18, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

AI Behavior
He doesn't totally run off of Slime AI - During the day, he acts like a slime at night... he will track you instead of hopping one way only.

Day slime: Jumps one way, and continues off the screen until despawned.

Night slime: Jumps to your horizontal location then bounces back and forth trying to reach you.

King slime: Behaves like Night slime during the day.

I'm trying to farm the outfit now, and after two game days of nothing, I noticed the 3 slimes remaining on the day/night change were just jumping back and forth. I was watching a movie and by the time the King slime spawned the first time, I didn't catch him until he jumped over my tiny filled in hole in the ground. He continued to track me, and I had to break out and get hit to even engage him. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Banarak (talk).

Drops
Could somebody post the exact code/rates? Why was it 99.99% to begin with? Is there another super secret drop that accounts for the 0.01%? happypal (talk &bull; contribs) 20:09, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure where someone got 99.99% because it's not in the source. 99.99 means you will pretty much always get a drop, but I think there's more of a chance of not getting anything. Not too sure though ~ Null ( T - C ) 20:15, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * User:99.75.112.188 created the 99.99% bs on 04:30, 11 June 2011 as far as I can tell and people have just kept with it. Just because 33.33% + 33.33% + 33.33% doesn't mean its 99.99%... If you would of given any of those numbers a .34 then it would be unbalanced. They all are an equal third and it is most likely impossible to not get a drop from King Slime a 0.01%? really...? lol. It really just needs to be 100% and leave it at that. 99.99% is really stupid unless it is possible to not get a drop. I'd like to see proof before you mention there is a 0.01% chance of not getting a drop. -- ❤Kalilla❤ 22:50, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Look, its probably running on "rand % 3" for drop chances, in the code, rather than 33%. This would account for and remove the remaining nonexistant .01%  -Serge
 * Yea, we understand that. Just its silly to list it at 99.99% is all, but thanks for the insight of programming :) -- ❤Kalilla❤ 05:46, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, if king slime had a item that dropped 1:10000, it could also explain it. I know some of our users have access to the code, so I'm asking for one to confirm it, rather than speculate. happypal (talk &bull; contribs) 06:26, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
 * According to the game code, you always get one part of the armor as loot. It just randomly chooses one of the 3 parts.--Trinidad 03:17, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
 * If one piece of gear has one chance out of three to be dropped by King Slime, just consider that the decimal expansion of 33.33 is periodic (33.33333333 and so on). Multiplied by three, it equals exactly to 100. 69.159.138.83 01:36, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

King slime + bunnies spawning at edge of the map in MP
"The King Slime spawns only in areas a third of the map away from the spawn point. An easy way to determine if you are far enough from the spawn point is to check for the presence of bunnies, who only spawn within a third of the map from the spawn point. If you can see bunnies, you aren't far enough from the spawn. By "within a third of the map", that means only each outer sixth of the map is viable for the King Slime to spawn."

This is not true in multiplayer mode. Both bunnies and a King Slime spawned near the edge of the map, where we filled in the ocean and made a house. Bunnies don't seem to spawn near the edge of my SP world though. --Colonel Thirty Two 00:38, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Bunnies are spawning at my dungeon. I don't think the part about the prescence of bunnies is correct. 109.189.228.216
 * Not sure about bunnies, but in single-player mode I had a king slime spawn while I was standing on the beach mining sand; it's clearly incorrect. 78.105.8.153 23:18, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Never mind I misread it as *within* a third of the map from a spawn point; carry on. 78.105.8.153 23:21, 28 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Bunnies will not only spawn in the 'middle' of the map, but also near any town npcs. This includes the old man standing at the dungeon.--GauHelldragon 08:32, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Mini-boss?
Why exactly is he in a category of his own and not in the same category as bosses? What prerequisite does he not fit that other bosses do? --Moxxy 20:21, 11 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, killing him won't attract the dryad. --GauHelldragon 04:10, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

And there is no item that can be crafted at the demon altar to summon him.


 * ...and he doesn't appear as a result of character advancement prerequisites, and doesn't provide access to rare items required for further character advancement. He's more of a sideshow attraction, rather than being critical to the game flow. He can appear no matter where you are in the game, and if you beat him you're still right back where you were.

Size
I added a rough size estimate that reads "15 times larger than the Mother Slime", but I honestly pulled this right out of my ass based on a mental comparison. If anyone has more accurate size information (I think a comparison with other slimes would still be best), feel free to change it.  Equazcion ( talk ) 21:36, 18 Aug 2011 (UTC)

Which Ninja Gaiden?
Trivia says the ninja is a reference to Ninja Gaiden boss. Which Ninja Gaiden had a slime as a stage boss? - 60.49.57.167 05:09, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Spawning
Does the King Slime spawns on it's own now?
