🟣 Special Purple Slime

The Special Purple Slime is the toughest slime variant in Stardew Valley. It appears in the Dangerous Mines (Qi’s Challenge) and in deeper levels of the Skull Cavern. With immense health, high damage, and rare loot, these slimes are among the most dangerous monsters in the game.

Like all slimes, Special Purple Slimes hop toward the player to inflict contact damage, but their boosted stats make them extremely difficult to fight. They also have some of the highest chances of dropping valuable resources, including Iridium Ore and even Prismatic Shards.
