Pinky is a rare pre-Hardmode enemy and a slime variant that spawns in place of certain types of other slimes (see Notes section for details). Despite its small size, Pinky has more health and defense than nearly all other pre-Hardmode slimes, though it has one of the lowest values of damage and knockback resistance in the game. It is also the only source of Pink Gel(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions).

Like most other slimes, the Pinky will be passive towards any player with the Royal Gel(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) accessory equipped.

On  Desktop,  Console,  Mobile, and 3DS, they 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(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) or its upgrades. Pinky requires 25 kills to be awarded completion of its Bestiary entry and corresponding banner, as opposed to the usual 50 kills.

Notes

• Pinky has a 1/180 (0.56%) chance of spawning in place of any slime of the following types:

• Blue Slime
• Green Slime
• Black Slime
• Purple Slime
• Red Slime
• Yellow Slime
• Jungle Slime

• Pinky has a 1/100 (1%) / 1/70 (1.43%) chance to drop the Slime Staff, a greatly increased chance compared to other slimes.
• (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) Pinky can spawn attached to a Windy Balloon during Windy Days.

Tips

• The best time to attempt to find Pinky is during the Slime Rain(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) event, as the spawn rate for slimes is greatly increased.
• The large amount of coins it drops makes it a very valuable enemy in the early game, especially for fulfilling the move-in conditions for the Merchant.
• (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) The Pink Gel that Pinky drops can be used to craft Pink Torches, which can be crafted into a Peace Candle. This item might prove useful early-game, as it decreases enemy spawn rates.
• Since Pinky is the smallest slime, using a Hunter Potion can be very useful in dark areas like the Underground for finding or detecting it.

Trivia

• Pinky's knockback resistance is tied with the Golden Slime's(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) for the lowest in the game, beating even the Slimer without wings at double the vulnerability.
  • Pinky and the Golden Slime are the only enemies in the game to have negative knockback resistance in Master Mode(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions).

• The Bestiary entry for 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.
