Prismatic rarities of rainy hallowed fields

Rainbow Slimes are magnificent, shimmering creatures that appear during rainy weather near the Hallow biome. They spawn only under specific environmental conditions: rain must be falling while the player stands within the Hallow, yet the slime itself must materialize on non-Hallowed ground blocks. They carry 400 health and 26 defense.

Slaying colorful giants for rainbow bricks

These colorful behemoths deal 85 contact damage in Classic and 170 in Expert, requiring alert dodging across wet fields. Defeating a Rainbow Slime yields Gel at a 100% rate (amount 1–20) and Rainbow Bricks at a 100% rate in bundles of 30–60, providing vibrant blocks that constantly shift across the color spectrum.

Trivia

  • Rainbow Slimes cycle smoothly through the entire color spectrum as they hop.
  • They will not spawn on Hallowed grass, requiring nearby neutral blocks like dirt or stone during rain.
