Bog Slime

#Overview

The Bog Slime is a tier-1 pest of Mash Swamp and Ketchup Bog, where it shares the tier-1 slot with the Ketchup Drop. It is common in the opening minutes: on Normal, tier-1 pests make up 8 in 9 spawns until 4:00 and stop spawning at 9:00 (10:00 on Easy). Elites are drawn from tier 2 and up, so it never appears as an elite.

It walks straight at Tibo and hurts only on contact. It is the toughest and slowest tier-1 pest: 11 base HP, almost twice an Aphid's, and speed 26, well under half of Tibo's base move speed of 62. It is also the largest tier-1 pest (radius 6) and slightly heavy, with mass 0.1 cutting knockback by 10%.^[1] A kill gives 1 XP and a 3% chance of a coin.

#Tips

• At speed 26 a Bog Slime cannot keep up with a walking Tibo, so it is easy to kite slimes into a clump for area weapons.
• Weapons that kill an Aphid in one hit may need two for a Bog Slime early on, which can slow down clearing in the swamp biomes.
