It’s heartbreaking to watch, and adds a sense of panic once the unsettling Tarr music sets in.
In a matter of minutes, an unresolved Tarr outbreak could wipe out your entire population of happy-go-lucky slimes.
These ravenous creatures eat other slimes, rot your crops, and rapidly reproduce. If a dual-type slime happens to eat a plort of a third type, kiss everything you’ve ever loved goodbye, because that gluttonous slime is about to turn into a cannibalistic, oily ball of depression called Tarr.
Bad things can happen when you mix and match your slimes. Interbreeding slimes isn’t all fun and games. However, the morbidly obese largo slimes are unable to be vacuumed by the Vacpack, and largos run the risk of unleashing something devastating upon your ranch. There are benefits of creating dual-type largo slimes, such as producing two plorts per feeding – one from each of its types. Slime Rancher makes it easy to tell which slimes need what food, because simply looking at any slime will reveal its food preference. That means those pompous, vegan Rock Slimes might just sit down for a chicken dinner if they’ve eaten the plort of a carnivorous slime such as a Tabby or Boom Slime. Basically, if any ordinary slime eats another slime’s plort, it will take on that second type, as well as any characteristics and dietary needs. Slimes can be interbred as well, which creates a “largo” slime.
