😎 Dangerous Red Slime

The Dangerous Red Slime is a deadly variant of the standard Red Slime in Stardew Valley. It spawns in the Dangerous Mines after activating Mr. Qi’s challenge “Danger in the Deep”, and also appears in the Skull Cavern during the quests “Skull Cavern Invasion” or “Qi’s Hungry Challenge”. Larger in size and wearing sunglasses, these enemies have significantly boosted stats compared to regular Red Slimes.

Dangerous Red Slimes possess 2× the health and attack power of their normal counterparts, making them formidable opponents in the lava levels. When encountered in Stacked Slime formations, they can launch slime projectiles that bypass the protection of the Slime Charmer Ring.
