Pinky is a rare slime which occasionally spawns in the Forest biome, as well as in the Underground and Cavern layers, where it is difficult to spot. Despite its small size, Pinky has more health and defense than nearly all other pre-Hardmode slimes, though it has one of the lowest damage values in the game, and is very easily knocked back. It is the only source of Pink Gel.

On  Desktop,  Console,  Mobile, and 3DS, it can rarely be found carrying bonus drops, which the player receives upon the slime's death.

It is one of the few entities that can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer.

Notes

• Pinky has a 0.56*1/180 (0.56%) chance of spawning in place of any standard slime.
• It has a 1*1/100 (1%) / 1.43*1/70 (1.43%) chance to drop the Slime Staff, unlike other slimes.
• Pinky has a chance to spawn attached to a Windy Balloon during Windy Days.

Tips

• The best time to attempt to find Pinky is during the Slime Rain event, as the spawn rate for slimes is greatly increased.
• The large amount of money it drops makes it a very valuable enemy in the early game, especially for attracting the Merchant to your town.
• The Pink Gel that Pinky drops can be used to create Pink Torches, which can be crafted into a Peace Candle. This item might prove useful early-game, as it decreases enemy spawn rate.
• Since Pinky is the smallest slime, using a Hunter Potion can be very useful if in dark areas like the Underground for finding or detecting them.

Trivia

• Pinky's knockback resistance is the lowest in the game, beating even the Slimer without wings at double the vulnerability.
  • Pinky is the only enemy in the game to have negative knockback resistance in Master Mode.

• The Bestiary entry for the Pinky: "The smallest slime ever recorded, their extreme cellular density makes them incredibly durable for their small size. They eat money."

• Its habit of eating money mentioned here is represented in its high amount of dropped coins.
