Blue Slime

The **Blue Slime** is a common enemy in Terraria, a 2D sandbox game. It is a small, blue-colored slime that bounces around and tries to harm the player by ramming into them. The Blue Slime is one of the weakest enemies in the game, but can still pose a threat to inexperienced players. It can drop Gel, which is a crafting material used to make various items such as torches and sticky bombs.

## How to find

The Blue Slime can be found in various biomes throughout Terraria. One of the most common places to find it is in the Forest biome, which is typically located near the surface of the world. As you explore the Forest, keep an eye out for small blue-colored blobs bouncing around on the ground. These are Blue Slimes.

If you are having trouble finding Blue Slimes in the Forest biome, you can also try exploring the Underground or Cavern layers of the world. These biomes are located deeper underground, and contain a wider variety of enemies including slimes of all colors. In the Underground and Cavern layers, Blue Slimes will often be found bouncing around near pools of water or other areas with low lighting.

Once you've spotted a Blue Slime, approach it carefully and be prepared for it to leap towards you. The Blue Slime has a simple AI and will simply bounce around trying to ram into the player. Defeat it with your weapon of choice, and collect any Gel it may drop. If you defeat enough Blue Slimes, you may also obtain a Blue Slime Banner, which can be used as a decoration or to increase your damage against Blue Slimes.
