⚙️ Iron Slime

The Iron Slime is a special ore-infused Slime variant in Stardew Valley. Found in the Dangerous Mines and occasionally in the Volcano Dungeon, these slimes are stronger than their Copper counterparts and drop Iron Ore when defeated, along with standard slime loot.

Like all slime types, Iron Slimes hop toward the player, dealing contact damage. Their gray metallic appearance makes them stand out, and their ore drops provide a renewable way to gather iron outside traditional mining.
