After a long day, and finding two types of slime I had never seen before, I went to clear my head on Ring Island, but again, I found another slime I had never seen before, why is so much going on today... Time for another slimepedia entry.

A bright orange slime, that emits light.
Location:
Dry Reef - Beach - Ring Island
Diet:
Meat
Slimeology:
Torch Slimes absorb sunlight, and reuse it to light up the caves they live inside, though they do enjoy hanging around torches, (Thus their name.) it, apparently gives a break to the slime, as constantly emitting light wears them out. They don't like to stay in sunlight for too long, and will only do so if absolutely necessary.
Rancher Risks:
A Torch Slime can turn feral if left in direct sunlight for too long, (Learnt that the hard way.) and are very dangerous to be kept near phosphor slimes as the light they emit is almost identical to sunlight.
Plortonomics:
Torch Plorts are used to store solar energy, for those, special few who don't trust a Rad Plort, and are also sometimes used as a heat source.
Feel free to PM me with any slime requests, and I'll make you an image of them in the game.
