History Characters / SlimeRancher

* TheVirus: Essentially the only way to have living breathing sabers outside of the wilds is to [[InvokedTrope invoke]] this trope via their plorts.
* WallJump: The signature ability of Saber Slimes.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: They'll produce double the amount of plorts if you feed them pommegranites.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: The Slimepedia says their plorts are high in vitamin D, making them perfect diet supplements for people who spend a lot of time in the dark, such as cosmic pioneers, deepsea divers, and gamers.
* TheNeedless: They're the only slimes that don't eat anything, so they'll never get agitated.

Flutter slimes can fly freely with their monarch butterfly-like wings, and they have the unique ability to calm other slimes down. They exclusively eat Moondew Nectar, which only appears at night. They appear on the pink side of Starlight Strand.

* BlowYouAway: They can create their own gusts of wind, and frequently ride on the small dust devils in the Glass Desert.

* LivingBattery: Most of their Plorts are converted into a fuel called "Plortonium" and "everything from the latest holophone to a radwave microcook system runs on the stuff."

* FlowerMotifs: Their main features are large flowers on top of their heads. Specifically, it looks based on the Rafflesia, a parasitic flower that buds on the vines of other plants (much like they use to grapple prey) and has the largest single flower in the world. The pollen they release when agitated (and the reactions other slimes have to it ranging from adorable sneezes to hunters going feral) could be seen as a reference to their [[VisibleOdor terrible scent]].
* FoulFlower: The ''innocent-looking'' Tangle Slime is referred to as a ''fearsome predator with a big appetite for tasty meat'' by the [[AllThereInTheManual Slimepedia]]. [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], since they're harmless to the player.

%%* SiliconBasedLife: What they seem to be.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: One of the few aversions in the first game game - it eats meat, but its preferred food is listed in the Slimepedia as "unknown", and nothing you put in a Gordo Snare will ever attract a Saber Gordo. Presumably, whatever it was, it's extinct too. As a result, Pink Saber Largos are the only Largos in the game with no favorite foods at all. Played straight in the second, where their favourite food is the newly-added thundercluck hens.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: The only slimes for which this trope is averted. Pink slimes can and will eat anything, but they favor none of it.

An extremely rare slime that sometimes spawns near wild chicken nests. They don't eat anything, but if you leave them in a coop, a hen may lay an egg containing up to five Yolky Plorts.

* UndergroundMonkey: They're basically the complete ''opposite'' of Puddle Slimes, but share the same model and basic function. Fire Slimes need to be kept in a incinerator with an ash trough upgrade, and fed by burning food in it to create ash that they can rapidly [[JustForPun burn through]] if you're keeping more than one. Fire Slimes aren’t shy like Puddle Slimes are, so you can keep more than four Fire Slimes in an incinerator's ash trough and still get plorts from them. Puddle Slimes are kept in ponds and don't need any maintenance at all (prior to Version 1.0.1 they just needed their pond refilled every so often). Fire Slimes only spawn around the Glass Desert, and only during the hazardous Solar Anomalies that set everything on fire, since they can't eat without any sort of ash; while Puddle Slimes only spawn in bodies of fresh water and can't go out for fear of evaporating, but are one of the safest slimes to obtain. It's literally fire and water.

An extremely rare slime that sometimes spawns near wild chicken nests. They don't eat anything, but if you leave them in a coop, a hen may lay an egg containing five Yolky Plorts.

* AlluringAnglerfish: They can stun chickens and other slimes with a burst of light from their lures.

* SillyLoveSongs: the credit song is one of these from Casey to Beatrix.

* CuteLittleFangs

* {{Expy}} Their blank expressions while disguised as another slime make them very similar to [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Ditto]].

Saber Slimes are a primitive species of slime that only exist as Largos today. Their pure slime variants are extinct. They are only found in the Wilds, and their largos are feral.

* DireBeast: A more primitive-looking slime, which due to only being found as largos are by default bigger than normal slimes.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: If their largo forms are anything to go by, they weren't perfectly round like most modern-day slimes but had wide, pointed cheeks.
* PosthumousCharacter: The species went extinct long ago. While their spirit lives on in their plorts and the Largo hybrids that make and are made from them, there's no known way of bringing back one of the original Sabers with this.

* AlliterativeName: '''M'''ochi'''M'''iles.

* PointyEars: Batty slimes have pointy little ears that aren't particularly reminiscent of most bat ears.
