****The King Slime**** is a massive royal slime created by the Slime God to puppet the Slime race.

## Backstory

The King Slime was created by the Slime God to rule over an empire the Slime God was creating in an attempt to make sure Providence didn't incinerate Terraria. This was moderately successful, with the empire creating a rather large army that would've been useful if Providence were to attempt to incinerate the planet. Besides that, the empire didn't have much other use, and wasn't particularly involved in any world politics, besides minor attempts to cleanse the Crimson (with... limited success, to say the least).

When Yharim inevitably set their sights on the empire, they sent a standard "Join us or die" message. Originally, the King Slime was going to simply declare war because of it, however the Slime God, knowing they had already taken over several other kingdoms, first decided to investigate Yharim's forces for if they were strong enough to take on them. After said investigation, they concluded that they were in fact strong enough to take them on. As a result, the Slime God offered to join Yharim's forces, and shortly after they did, they negotiated with Yharim, and ended with Yharim deciding to spare the civilization under the conditions they became vassals to Yharim's empire, which they accepted.

## Role

### Pre-Hardmode Arc

The King Slime makes their first and only appearance in the first arc when they contact the Slime God to inform them of the Slime Scouting Force's failure in capturing the trio. The king asks if another attack would be necessary, to which the Slime God replies that it would not.

## Abilities

* Heightened endurance
* Slime commanding
* Shapeshifting

## Equipment

* Omega Blue Armor
* Neptune's Bounty

## Weaknesses

They don't have any major weaknesses, however they aren't particularly strong compared to most other divinity.

## Personality

Having been created by the Slime God, they are eternally loyal to them and will follow them to the word, without question. They are also fairly loyal to Yharim as their empire is a vassal to theirs.

They rule their civilization competently, or at least more so than Yharim. The empire is much more developed than the mostly undeveloped territory of Yharim's empire. However, the laws in the King Slime's civilization are still rather strict. The empire holds a significant amount of diversity, although most of the actual citizens in the empire are slimes. They have full access to the warrants of Yharim's empire, and are instructed to deport outlaws of them directly to Yharim's temple. They are decent tactically, however they are out shined by Yharim in this regard.
