Mr. Blake? What... what causes the slimes' "stacking" behavior? What exactly is happening?
Um... also, I've noticed something strange about the Tarr, specifically their, um, extension technique. Uh, they... well, the part that stretches out to grab their prey sometimes looks like a... a skeletal arm. It's kind of unnerving.

A slime's cellular membrane is not totally smooth, like human skin. At the microscopic level the membranes is a vastly complex network of receptors, sensors, and appendages. The slime's visible membrane features are the photoreceptors (eyes), and an endocytocis vesicle (mouth). The "mouth" of a slime is actually a simple vesicle which expands and envelopes food to consume by endocytosis. The membrane also is used to release plorts via exocytosis, which explains how fresh plorts appear to be encapsulated in a bubble before that membrane decays and leaves the plort crystal itself. The "inside" of a slime's mouth has a very high concentration of transferrin, while the rest of the slime's membrane completely lacks transferrin. That is why a slime can't eat food if the food were to suddenly be chucked onto the slime's back. The slime's membrane also helps with locomotion without having to resort to pseudopods. The membrane is lined with special "hairs" that "grab" a surface and allow the slime to move forward. On the top and bottom of the slime, these "special hairs" are further specialized to "grab" another slime's "special hairs". The phenomenon the "special hairs" induce is what causes the slimes' stacking.

Dude are you like an actual biologist, because I'm just a fourteen year old kid with too much time on his hands.
Also, the "special hairs" seem like you're referring to the synthesis of Charged Amino R-Groups into enzymes.

Please note I not a slimeobiologist, I am a slimeophysicist.
The inner face of a tar is simply the innards of the tarr escaping. Sadly.

The only reason the Tarr's insides are all rainbow and stuff is that it takes the slimes it eats to a ranch on the flip side, where slimes are evil and Tarrs are corralled and when slimes eat Tarrs the Tarrs are sent back to the normal ranch where the cycle of traveling starts all over again.

That can be easily explained by game's code. Ferals eat anything, because they are part pink, so if you got any spare food, you can use it. If Ferals weren't part pink, you'd need to have two types of food, f.e. A Rock Boom Feral appeared and all you have is Pogofruit. There's nothing you could do.

What about Boom Rad?
