Shimmer Slimes are a variety of slime. They cannot be found naturally; instead, they are created when a slime comes into contact with Shimmer. Shimmer slimes have the ability to reflect projectiles, similarly to Shimmer.

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

Notes

• Lava Slimes, Dungeon Slimes, King Slime, Spiked Slimes, Gastropods, Queen Slime, Crystal Slimes, Bouncy Slimes, Heavenly Slimes, Hoppin' Jacks, Golden Slimes, Old Shaking Chests, and statue-spawned Slimes cannot be transformed into a Shimmer Slime.
• Shimmer Slimes converted from Slimes spawned by the Slime Statue disappear as soon as they are converted.
• Since the Shimmer Slime did not exist when the achievement was introduced, it is not necessary to defeat one for the Gelatin World Tour achievement.
• Shimmer slimes knock back the player.

Trivia

The Bestiary entry for the Shimmer Slime: "After a quick swim in the Shimmer, this prismatic slime has been infused with the powers of the mysterious fluid."
