All Slimes, Spawn Locations, & Behaviors In Slime Rancher

Slime Rancher is a bright and engaging indie life sim game in which players take control of a character named Beatrix LeBeau, who has moved to a planet far away from Earth. Here, she takes on the role of a rancher, exploring the lands around her to build a ranch, tame and raise small creatures known as Slimes, and collect resources to put back into her facilities. As players explore their surroundings, they will encounter different variants of Slimes, some of which can only be found in specific areas.

Because of this, it can often take some time to work out which Slimes tend to frequent each area, as well as important information about each variant, such as potential threats they may pose to Beatrix or other behavioral patterns. To help players better understand this information or learn where they can track down a specific kind of Slime, a complete breakdown of every Slime variant in the game, their threat level, behavioral details, and all spawn locations have been included in the guide below.
