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 Pink Gel.

Like most other slimes, the Pinky will be passive towards any player with the Royal Gel accessory equipped.

On PC version PC, Console version Console, Mobile version Mobile, Old Chinese version Old Chinese, 3DSNintendo 3DS version, tModLoader version tModLoader, and tModLoader 1 tModLoader Legacy, they can rarely be found carrying bonus drops, which the player receives upon the slime's death.

It is one of the few entities that can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer or its upgrades.

Tips[]

  • The most convenient time to find Pinky is during the Slime Rain 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 can prove useful early-game, as it decreases enemy spawn rate.
    • 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 Golden Slime's 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 Master Mode.

The BestiaryBestiary entry for the Pinky: "The smallest slime ever recorded, their extreme cellular density makes them incredibly durable for their small size. They eat money."

  • This Bestiary entry explains its generous coin drops.
  • Pinky seems to be one of the only enemies in the game to be a scaled-down sprite.
