Slimeology
Boom slimes are often heard before they're seen. The slime cells of a boom slime are constantly vibrating, causing their slime to increasingly crackle with energy before ultimately exploding. However, the boom slime always comes out unscathed, though always a little dazed.
Risks
Boom slimes are constantly building toward an inevitable explosion, making them quite hazardous to ranchers. In addition to those explosions causing bodily harm, they also have the capacity to send all nearby slimes flying into the air, making them a hard slime to corral.
Plortonomics
Highly volatile boom plorts have all sorts of applications, including powering rocket thrusters and demolitions. Military organizations value their highly destructive capabilities for 'medical technology and other research'. Imagine that!
Properties
- Explodes occasionally, telegraphed by the intensity of its core and veins, sending everything in its blast radius flying and stunning itself in the process. Explosions can be temporarily nullified with Water or Ancient Water.
- Explodes more often when agitated.
