Question About One of the Slimes...

[Anastasia]

What are these slimes? Do they have a name? Any purpose other than to try and eat us?
I tried to capture one and carry it back to the ranch to lock away, but it kept eating me, so I had to set it down while my health bar restored and then the area became overrun with tarrs and one ate him...

So anyone, anyone know anything about these? They bug me.

They're Pink Phosphor largos, the results of a Pink slime eating a Phosphor Plort or a Phosphor Slime eating a Pink Plort, except that these ones are extremely territorial. You can tame wild largos simply by feeding them.

You can also bypass these largos by visiting this area in daytime, as Phosphor slimes will vanish unless it's dark out.

I think you're referring to ferals here. Feral slimes are wild largos who happen to be grumpy enough that they chomp and stomp on ranchers. You can calm them down simply by feeding them something they'd otherwise like to eat.

Challenge-wise they're intended to be sort of a middle ground between regular slimes and the tarr.

They are scary at first, when you don't know what to do.

Just get a slot full of carrots and whenever you see them, shoot carrots at them until they are nice and friendly.

Ohh... ok! Thanks! I thought they were something completely different since they had the weird red lines surrounding them... Alright. Cool. I like it.

I think they are supposed to be "angry" lines so you are able to tell they are not friendly at all, haha
