Hunter Slime
Slimeology
The hunter slime is the feral relative of the tabby slime, though far more adept than its playful counterpart. Skilled in stealth and pursuit, the hunter slime is an expert at tracking the chickens of the Far, Far Range. Its unique slimological makeup grants it a natural cloaking ability that allows it to vanish almost entirely from sight. The only giveaway lies in its large, almond-shaped eyes, which sometimes appear to float in the shadows. Many ranchers who stumble across this eerie sight describe the experience with a startled cry of “aaaahhhhHHH!”
Plortonomics
Incredible advances in slime science have revealed that hunter plorts can be refined into a serum capable of rendering a person invisible. While the effect lasts for only a single day, the serum is highly sought after on Earth, where many find the experience of temporary disappearance deeply calming. Yet, after the day passes, most realize that vanishing entirely is not all it seems. In the end, the comfort of being seen—and of being missed—proves far greater than the fleeting solace of invisibility.
Special behavior
- Hunter slimes can sense food from much farther away than most other slimes.
- They will sometimes attempt to pounce at the player, beginning with a wiggle that makes their bodies vanish while only their eyes and mouth remain visible.
- Any largo formed from a hunter plort will always start out feral, and if a hunter largo becomes too agitated from hunger or other stress, it will revert to that feral state once again.
- Fortunately, feral hunter largos can be soothed with food or the calming chime of a taming bell.
