Special Behavior or Properties

• Explodes occasionally, telegraphed by the intensity of its core and veins, sending everything in its blast radius flying and stunning itself in the process. Explosions can be temporarily nullified with Water or Ancient Water.
• Explodes more often when agitated.

Boom Slimes are slimes that occasionally explode. They can found most frequently in the first two unlockable zones; The Indigo Quarry and The Moss Blanket.

Slimeology:
Boom slimes are often heard before they're seen. The slime cells of a boom slime are constantly vibrating, causing their slime to increasingly crackle with energy before ultimately exploding. However, the boom slime always comes out unscathed, though always a little dazed.

Rancher Risks:
Boom slimes are constantly building toward an inevitable explosion, making them quite hazardous to ranchers. In addition to those explosions causing bodily harm, they also have the capacity to send all nearby slimes flying into the air, making them a hard slime to corral.

Plortonomics:
Highly volatile boom plorts have all sorts of applications, including powering rocket thrusters and demolitions. Military organizations value their highly destructive capabilities for 'medical technology and other research'. Imagine that!

Tips

• The Boom Slime's appearence indicates how close the slime is to exploding. Soon after it explodes, its cracks are not visible and become a dull red. It regains its bright red coloration soon after, and the veins become more pronounced and its core becomes more fiery over time, indicating another imminent explosion.
• Water and Ancient Water may be used to temporarily halt explosions for 30 seconds.
• Well fed Boom Slimes take up to three times longer to explode compared to starved slimes.
• Due to the difficulty of breeding Chickens in large amounts, it is recommended to turn a Boom Slime into a Fruit or Veggie-eating Largo.
• Purchasing a Music Box can help reduce their rate of agitation, and by extension reduce how often they explode.
• Throwing a Boom Largo of any type in the air as it explodes unlocks the Fireworks Achievement.

Origin

Boom Slimes are based on the concept of bombs. Their glowing core and red coloration is also reminiscent of Blast Cubes from Nick's previous game, Spiral Knights. Their explosions have a similar swirl pattern to the Proto Bomb.

The Boom Slime's Secret Style - Arcane - may be based on explosive magic.
